Description
  • This day-long tour provides you with an all-encompassing experience of D-Day, the defining moment of WWII, with visits to key landing points, churches, museums and cemeteries. With over 12 nations involved in what was the largest-scale air and land mission in history, for the sake of depth, this tour explores the Americans’ role in D-Day.
  • * Relive the key moments of D-Day with visits to **Omaha and Utah Beach**. 
  • * Visit the **American cemetery**, where all the American troops who lost their lives are remembered. 
  • * Explore the **Caen-Normandy Centre for History and Peace** and see a panoramic film of the landings at the **Arromanches 360 Cinema**.

  • * **Comfortable car-travel** provided for the whole day. Your experience of Normandy will not be affected by rain or bad weather! 
  • * **Adaptable, tailored tour experience**: Work with your guide to get the most out of your time. Do what interests you - you are welcome to change your itinerary on the day.
  • You will begin at the Caen-Normandy Centre for History and Peace, which will provide you with a good background to the events of ’44 for when you go on-site later in the day. Stop off for lunch at a quality restaurant of your choice, recommended by your expert guide, in the charming city of Bayeux before visiting the places that became legendary subjects of history and film.
  • Go beyond mythology to learn about and relive the trials and tribulations the Allies faced in overcoming the Nazi forces. You will visit the church, Sainte Mère-Église, where paratrooper John Steele was caught on the spire and feigned death, hung from his parachute, defying all the odds to eventually escape capture.
