Normandy D-Day Tour

From $1250

From $1250 – 12 Hours from Paris

You could watch Saving Private Ryan or D-Day documentaries, but nothing compares to standing before the haunting bomb craters at Pointe du Hoc or the remnants of the Atlantic Wall.

This is more than a tour; it’s an immersive experience that brings you face-to-face with the reality of D-Day. Feel the wind from the English Channel, touch the sand of Omaha Beach, and witness the chilling presence of German bunkers. The white headstones at the American cemetery serve as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by young American soldiers.
With a WWII historian as your guide, gain a deeper understanding of D-Day’s significance and the immense challenges faced by the Allies. Let the weight of these historic events sink in as we reflect on their lasting impact. This tour takes you to key D-Day landmarks and its museum, but it’s more than history—it’s a tribute to the brave souls who gave everything for freedom.
