Itinerary
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.
After a light lunch, it's time for the next activity—climbing to the top of 100-foot cliffs to spot historic impact craters and concrete bunkers still scarred by the conflict. Allied Rangers scaled these sheer rock faces under intense enemy fire to silence the German positions. Standing here, wind in your face, the bravery of those soldiers truly comes alive.
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.
Follow your guide to the Normandy American Cemetery, where 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.

An good opportunity to visit the essential Normandy in one day from Paris
Amazing experience and our tour guide was great. The only issue was we didn’t like the bus seats. The coach was very nice but all of the seats were at an uncomfortable angle and couldn’t be adjusted.
Hi Trenton, thank you for the feedback! We’re glad you had an amazing experience with your guide. I’ve shared your notes about the bus seat angles with our Normandy Operations Manager so we can review coach comfort. Hope to welcome you back on another tour!

Our tour guide Renee was great! He was very hospitable and so knowledgeable! Enjoyed the information shared and the itinerary of the tour. Great lunch provided at the very accommodating restaurant!!
Hi Debora, thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad Renee made the long day memorable with his knowledge and hospitality. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the lunch and itinerary, too! Hope to welcome you back soon.
Be prepared for a long day of driving. Something that could not be helped, but good to share. The lunch was very basic and I almost wish we could have had more choices. The sites we saw were amazing! Make sure you stay on schedule, as that will effect you times throughout the day. We had plenty of bathroom options, and everyplace was easy to get around. I would not recommend sandals, but sensible shoes, as you will walk on gravel and sand in some stops. Our guide was very informative.
Hi Erin, thank you for the helpful feedback and glad you enjoyed the sites and guide! Normandy is a full-day journey, and we appreciate your practical tips for future travelers. I’ve shared your comments regarding lunch variety with our Paris Operations Manager to see where we can improve. Hope to welcome you back soon!
