Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, and Band of Brothers locations from Bayeux on a small-group day tour with a guide, about 9 hours.
“Our guide, Thierry, was outstanding. His knowledge of the history of Normandie and WWII was incredible. He answered all of our questions about the Allied invasion, the state of the combatants at the time, and the Zeitgeist of the time. We attended a master class. The first half of the tour was about what happened with the American invasion on Omaha Beach while the second half brought life the events of the Band of Brother movie.”
Small-group D-Day tour from Paris to Normandy, with Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Operation Overlord Museum, and the American Cemetery.
“This was an incredible experience and much more enjoyable being in a small group as opposed to a large bus full of people. Our driver/guide Will did a great job with presenting all his knowledge of the area. The Overlord Museum was excellent and the cemetery at Omaha beach is not to be missed. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to appreciate such an important part of history. My only complaint would be that there is just so much to see and experience in the area and not enough time in 1 day. But this tour did an incredible job with showing as much as possible…”
Reims and Épernay in one long day, with cellar tours, multiple champagne tastings, royal-crown history at Reims Cathedral, and a 3-course lunch.

Highly recommend the full day tour because you get so much more information about the royal family when you see all the other properties. Lunch was delicious. The group of people on our tour were amazing. We loved the smaller group & extra attention it allows for. Everything went smoothly and was as advertised. Would highly recommend.”

“It was a stunning and amazing palace. However the so called VIP luxury tour bus had no air conditioning and neither does the palace. It was EXTREMELY hot with large crowds. I noticed a few people had become quite faint from heat exhaustion and dehydration. Very few spots to purchase water inside, BUY the umbrella and/or PURCHASE the Train tickets to tour the gardens. This is a must if you’re going during summer months. Audio tour guide was also helpful due to the large crowds.”

“Eric was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. He was also very light-hearted and had genuine interest in the group as well as the tour subject matter. Car rides without tour discussion were frequently filled with great personal conversation from everyone. Groups are kept very small and this made it much more enjoyable. A little additional time at a couple of locations would have been nice, just to read additional history. Ultimately. we would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a US-focused Operation Overlord tour. Thank you again to Eric for a smooth and enjoyable day.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
