We were greeted on time and the meeting location was easy to find. We visited 4 sites: Grandcamp-Maisy, Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, and the American Cemetery. We learned from John as we drove and as we visited each site. He didn’t rush us and the tour felt like a great introduction to first time visitors of D-Day Beaches. Wonderful experience. He even advised us about sights to see in Bayeux. Thanks from our family!

    Quick answers

    • Where does the tour depart from?

      The tour departs from Bayeux. Pick-up is available directly from your hotel, accommodation, or the Bayeux train station. Your guide meets you at the agreed location at the start time.

    • How long is the tour?

    • Is this tour really private?

      Yes. This tour is 100% private — your group will not be joined by other travelers. The vehicle, guide, and itinerary are exclusively yours for the duration of the experience.

    • What sites are visited on this tour?

      The tour visits Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, and Pointe du Hoc. Please note that access to Pointe du Hoc may be limited in 2026 and 2027 due to ongoing construction works. If a visit is not possible, it will be replaced by Longues-sur-Mer Battery, a well-preserved German coastal artillery position.

    • What should I wear and bring?

      Comfortable walking shoes are recommended as some sites involve walking on uneven terrain, grass, or sand. Dress in layers as the Normandy coast can be cool and windy even in summer. Bringing a light rain jacket is always advisable.

    • Is the guide English-speaking?

      Yes. Your guide is a local expert who conducts the tour exclusively in English, with in-depth knowledge of WWII history, the D-Day landings, and the Battle of Normandy.

    • Is this tour suitable for children?

      Yes. The tour is suitable for older children and teenagers with an interest in history. The content deals with themes of war and remembrance, which parents should consider when booking with younger children. The pace is flexible and can be adapted to suit families.

    • Can the itinerary be customized?

      As a private tour, the itinerary can be adapted to your interests. If you would like to spend more time at a particular site, skip a stop, or add a specific location, speak to your guide — adjustments are made wherever time and logistics allow.
