About this activity
Meet your private guide during a 9am pickup at your accommodation or the local train station in Caen, and take a seat in your air-conditioned minivan. Enjoy a snack of coffee and croissants, then travel onward to the beaches of Normandy — where violent struggles took place during the D-Day landings of World War II. 

During your private 1-day tour, visit the port at Arromanches — constructed by British soldiers to help land the Allied troops in June 1944 — and the Pointe du Hoc. Along the way, gain insight into the battles between opposing forces in WWII.

After lunch (own expense) in a restaurant overlooking Sword Beach, visit the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer. Walk over the sands as your private guide brings the D-Day landings to life, and learn of the many Allied soldiers who laid down their lives in battle.

Next, visit the Overlord Museum — home to displays of WWII artifacts, machinery, and weaponry — and see what kinds of equipment brought victory to the Allied forces during the D-Day landings.

See gun batteries used by the Germans to protect the coast from the Allies at Longues-sur-Mer, then visit Sainte-Mère-Église — where the war’s first Allied paratroopers landed. When your tour comes to an end, return in comfort to your hotel or the train station in Caen.

Well worth it. Igor, our guide was excellent. He was very enthusiatic, passionate about the history of Normandy, full of facts. We saw The Pegasus Bridge, Museum, Omaha ,Juno Beaches. Pointe du Hoc. At the Amercian cemetary, Igor timed it so we would see the flags lowered. Very humbling. Enjoyed a delicious lunch at Omaha Restaurant. There was just 2 of us. He said he can take up to 8,but does not combine groups

My husband and I did not know what to expect with this tour. We knew that we had a large wish list of things to see in Normandy and we were not sure how much of our wish list was attainable on our one day tour. This tour exceeded our expectations as our guide Igor Rosen of Normandy Tour spent 10 hours with us to make sure we could see all of the things we wanted to see! Igor was very knowledgeable and my husband and I learned so much about the invasion and the months that followed. Igor was able to answer all of our questions and more! I would recommend this private tour for anyone. It was expensive but well worth it!
