- Normandy American Cemetery - Overlooking Omaha Beach, this hallowed ground serves as the final resting place for over 9,000 American soldiers. Walking through the orderly rows of white crosses and Stars of David provides a moving tribute to the magnitude of the operation and its human toll.
- Omaha Beach - Known as one of the most fiercely defended areas on D-Day, Omaha Beach stands as a testament to remarkable bravery. Stroll along the sands where countless American soldiers landed amidst intense German fire. The guide will share tales of individual valor and explain the beach’s strategic significance in establishing a foothold in Nazi-occupied France.
- Pointe du Hoc - Discover this striking cliffside location where U.S. Army Rangers ascended 100-foot cliffs to neutralize a German artillery battery threatening Omaha and Utah beaches. The terrain remains marked by craters and bunkers, preserved to illustrate the assault’s intensity. The guide will emphasize the Rangers’ courage and the mission’s strategic triumph.
- Utah Beach - As the westernmost landing site of the D-Day invasion, Utah Beach experienced greater success and fewer casualties than Omaha. Discover how meticulous planning and a touch of luck facilitated its capture with minimal losses. The site includes original German bunkers and informative displays to enhance your understanding.

Normandy Beach private your - Absolutely brilliant. Our tour guide Mathilde was a wealth of knowledge and fascinating local insights. Our driver Modjy was pleasant, courtious and very professional. Our group of seven (ages 4 to 67) all came away eager to do individual research in order to gain a deeper understanding of the events that Mathilde had introduced us to. We spent 10 hours with Mathilde and Modjy and every minute was fascinating and a joy. Highly recomended, a most rewarding day.

Great Private Guided Tour of Normandy WWII Area - An excellent driver, Adel, with a great tour guide, Sunny. Picked the 6 of us up at the cruise ship for a drive to Normandy. Sunny was very good at giving g us information about the country side we were passing through, the areas we were to visit and WWII . Did not rush us and gave us options. Overall a very emotional and great day visiting the beaches of Normandy. Excellent private tour of this very historical area. A big thank you from our group!

Amazing Experience - Loved this tour. Visiting the various locations associated with WWII and understanding the French perspective of the US support and other allies was enlightening. Transportation and English speaking guide was great and perfect for our party of 6.

Incredible day in Normandy remembering the D-Day landings with private tour guide - Incredible day with private tour guide who helped us understand all the intricacies and details of the D-Day planning, landings, and battles. Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, Pont Du Hoc, bunkers, craters, hedgerows, and more. The Memorial was particularly special as we explored the chapel, cross headstones, and the wall of names of soldiers who have not yet been found. Our guide helped me contact the Visitor Center to arrange a remembrance of my grandfather's best friend who survived D-Day but died a month later. (I had not known to arrange it prior to the trip). We sanded his stone with sand from Omaha Beach (to help his name stand out in pictures) and placed an American and French flag at his grave. Such an amazing experience with my daughter! And the hospitality was incredible- we even stopped for omelettes and gallettes. We also added a round-trip transfer to and from our cruise port for added convenience and were so glad we did. Great trip!
