I went with my dad for his bday, and wow, what a DAY. Our guide (Emma) really knew her stuff, like, she could point out a random bunker and tell you a wild story about it. Felt a bit rushed at Pointe du Hoc but honestly, we still got time for photos and just standing there... kinda overwhelming to be where so much happened. Lunch was yum—local cheese I can't pronounce, cider you gotta try. The van was suuuper comfy, but bring snacks if you’re like me and get hangry! Worth it x100.

Long day but totally fascinating. Weather was kind of grey in the morning but cleared up by the beaches, which was coool for pictures. Our guide, Pierre, had so many little stories I never heard before, and he even showed us some old bullet holes in a wall (that was wild). The cider tasting was a nice touch—I'm not a big drinker but my wife loved it. Only thing, wish we had five more mins at the cemetery, felt a bit short. Still, learned a TON.

Took my teen son and he actually stayed off his phone the whole day. That's how interesting it was! Our guide (shoutout to Mia!) made the history real—she even brought old photos to compare with today. The van had USB chargers (yes!) and the seats were plush. Weather was warm, so bring sunscreen. The lunch spot was quaint and not touristy, and the cider was sooo good. Definitely recommend, especially for families.

Spend a day visiting the battle sites and landing beaches, part of Normandy’s D-Day accompanied by an expert guide on a small group tour.

La Pointe du Hoc, where US Rangers landed and took control of the heavily fortified German point, is your first visit.

Proceed with your visit to Omaha Beach, the scene of the most challenging and spectacular attack, where nearly 2,500 men sacrificed their lives in a matter of hours.

Visit the Colleville sur Mer American Cemetery, home to almost 9,000 white crosses arranged in a perfect row honoring American soldiers who lost their lives fighting in World War II.

A visit to Juno Beach, home of the renowned "Canada House," which is claimed to have been the first home freed by Allied forces on D-Day, marks the end of the day.

History NERD heaven. Was worried it’d be too touristy but nope, super focused and respectful. The guide (Chloe) had a binder of old maps and photos, which really brought things to life. Lunch was in a local bistro—best bread I’ve had in France. The cider was sweet and crisp. Highly recommend.

Was expecting a bit more time at Omaha Beach, but the schedule was kinda tight. Our guide tried to keep everyone happy, but traffic set us back a bit (Paris roads, ugh). Still, learned a lot and the group was small, which was nice. Probably not for super young kids, tho. Cider place had good vibes.

If you’re a history fan, don’t miss this. Our guide (Jean) was a legend—so many facts and stories. The cider place had the friendliest staff. My teens actually enjoyed it too!

Pointe du Hoc

Take a walk through historical World War II sites on this tour. Meet your driver-guide, and get started on your journey to the beaches of Normandy in a comfortable air-conditioned minibus. Your first stop is at La Pointe du Hoc, a promontory with 100-foot high cliffs overlooking the English Channel, where 225 United States Rangers landed on the morning of June 6, 1944. Even though it was strongly fortified with concrete casemates and gun pits by the German army, the US army captured it by scaling the cliffs. Your guide will give you some time here to soak in the somber vibes of this location.

Omaha Beach & Colleville sur Mer American Cemetery

You’ll then drive to Omaha Beach where the most difficult and impressive attack happened. It’s called “Bloody Omaha” by WWII veterans because in a matter of hours almost 2,500 men lost their lives on this beach. Despite being pinned down by heavy artillery, the surviving soldiers fought with bravery and ingenuity to overcome the enemy.

Next, visit the Colleville sur Mer American Cemetery which overlooks Omaha Beach. The site contains over 9,000 perfectly aligned white crosses and a memorial chapel, dedicated to American troops who died in Europe during World War II. Spend some time in this moving space, reflecting on the price of war. Afterward, calm your emotions in a charming and friendly setting with a 3-course lunch (optional).

Juno Beach

Using detailed maps and pictures your guide will explain how the landings unfolded at Juno Beach. You’ll even see the famous “Canada House” said to be the first house liberated by the Allied Troops on D-Day.
