Additional food and drink
Your tour begins at Place du Général Kœnig
You'll meet your guide at Place du Général Kœnig and hop aboard a private bus bound for Normandy. Along the way, your guide shares stories of Operation Overlord as you roll through farmland toward the coast.
Utah Beach Museum
At Utah Beach, you'll step into a real German bunker that's now a world-class museum. This is where American boots first hit French sand on June 6, 1944. Inside, you'll find one of only six B-26 bombers left in existence and hear stories of the soldiers who changed history.
Norman lunch overlooking Grandcamp Maisy
Time to taste what makes Normandy famous. You'll sit down to a meal of seasonal ingredients at a local restaurant perched above the harbor. Fresh bread, regional cheeses, and local cider fuel you up for the afternoon ahead.
Pointe du Hoc cliffs
Climbing to the top of these 100-foot cliffs, you'll spot bomb craters and concrete bunkers still scarred by battle. Allied Rangers scaled these rock faces under enemy fire to knock out German guns. Standing here, wind in your face, the bravery becomes real.
Omaha Beach and American Cemetery
Below the bluff lies Omaha Beach, where waves now lap quietly at the sand that saw the fiercest fighting of D-Day. Above, white crosses stretch across a manicured lawn. You'll walk among the graves, read names, and look out over the beach where these soldiers gave everything.

Sam was terrific! He provided pertinent historical information, which helped to understand the event, but didn’t talk too much. He also provided logistical info about the trip, so we always knew what and when things were happening. I felt horrible that I did not tip him and the drivers, but we had just arrived to Paris and had no cash. I know he was disappointed. Otherwise, overall, , a great experience!
Good tour

The tour was good, lunch was surprisingly good. Everyone happy with different selections. We stopped at more locations than we anticipated which was great. Maja was knowledgeable but occasionally difficult to understand but not bad. Her ire at late passengers was understandable but we shouldn’t have seen that or heard about it!
Overall nice experience.

Maja made the tour enjoyable and informative. Enjoyed seeing Pointe du Hock and hearing about Lt. Rudder, who later was the President of Texas A&M when I enrolled there.

I’m sure every guide is as good as the next, but we had an amazing trip with Lawrence! His passion not only for France, D-day and all of history was matched only by his passion to make sure each and every one of us had the best experience possible. The day was absolutely beautiful and while so much of it was very somber it still was a wonderful day. The bus is very comfortable and Nadia, our driver, was very safe! I couldn’t recommend this more! Go!

This tour takes the entire day but covers many kilometers. The tour was enjoyable, yet not what I would call fun because of the very solemn nature of the tour itself. A person goes there to pay respect to the "greatest generation" because indeed they were. It great to see that the site is being kept up to a military standard.

Our tour guides Dan and Thelma were amazing. They each had so much information and facts of what happened on D-day. Many stories of what the local residents went through during that time that were very touching. The ride was very comfortable with plenty of time to explore. The lunch was amazing in a quaint little fishing village.

My Normandy D-Day Landing Beaches Day Trip with cider tasting and lunch was truly unforgettable. The tour was a perfect blend of history, culture, and relaxation. Visiting the iconic landing beaches was a deeply moving experience, made even more impactful by the knowledgeable guide who brought the stories of bravery and sacrifice to life.
The cider tasting added a delightful local touch, allowing us to enjoy Normandy's traditional flavors in a picturesque setting. Lunch was another highlight—delicious and authentically French, served in a charming venue. The itinerary was well-paced, giving ample time to reflect, enjoy, and learn.
This trip was a perfect mix of history and leisure, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore Normandy's rich heritage with a thoughtful and enriching experience.

My only complaint was every stop felt very rushed to the point where you felt you could not take everything in. I understand it was a lot to see. Overall it was still a good trip it just felt a little rushed.

Our trip to the Normandy beaches and cemetery was significantly enhanced by the historical background provided by John, our excellent guide. His knowledge and passion about the area and its history was evident and he made it come alive. John also clearly communicated and kept us moving at each of our stops. While we could have stayed longer at each of our stops (except the cider tasting which we would have skipped), the day was long enough already. I highly recommend John as a tour guide to Normandy.

Sam was an excellent guide. He gave us just enough information without being boring. We loved the music he played, the notes he read, the clips he played. All of that made the trip so interesting. We appreciated that he thought of rest stops as well. Learning more of this part of our history was a dream come true for us. Thank you.
