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.

    The Driver was the most experienced person who kept us safe and on time during lots of crazy conditions. I know I couldn't drive that area myself so I'm super grateful.

    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.
  • Step into the footsteps of WWII heroes

    Head out on a full-day guided tour from Paris to the historic D-Day landing beaches. Travel comfortably in an air-conditioned vehicle and gain expert insights from your English-speaking guide as you explore key sites that witnessed the bravery and sacrifices of Allied forces.

    Start your journey with a scenic drive through the Normandy countryside before arriving at Pointe du Hoc, where 225 U.S. Rangers scaled towering cliffs to disable German defenses. Walk along Omaha Beach and visit the American Military Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, a moving tribute to over 9,000 fallen soldiers, and take time to reflect at the Memorial, Chapel, and Garden of the Missing.

    Explore the sites and beaches

    Continue your journey to Arromanches, where you’ll see the remains of the Mulberry Harbor, an engineering marvel that played a crucial role in the Allied landings. Depending on your chosen option, enjoy a two-course lunch with local Normandy cider, savoring the region’s rich flavors.

    After lunch, visit Juno Beach, where Canadian forces landed on D-Day, and explore the Juno Beach Centre and Cemetery, dedicated to honoring Canada's role in the invasion. Choose from multiple tour options to best suit your interests. Opt for a semi-private tour with a small group for a more personalized experience, or include a traditional Normandy lunch for an added taste of local culture.
