About this tour

This is our classic private D-Day tour from Paris, built for American travelers. It covers the arc of the Allied landings of 6 June 1944, from the shell-scarred cliffs of Pointe du Hoc to the white crosses of the American Cemetery above Omaha Beach, then east to the British sector at Arromanches and Pegasus Bridge.

Unlike a coach tour, the day is entirely yours. Your guide adapts the pace and the stops to your interests and to your family’s history. If a relative served in Normandy, tell us: we can research the unit and take you to the ground they fought on.

Yes. The tour is private, so you can add, skip or extend any stop on the day. Tell us in advance if you want a specific unit or place.

What is your cancellation policy?

The booking fee is non-refundable. For one-day tours cancelled more than one month ahead, it can be used for a future tour; for multi-day tours, more than three months ahead. If we cancel for safety reasons, such as severe weather, we refund it in full. Read the full terms.
