About This Tour

This is the definitive private D-Day tour from Paris for American travelers. Covering the full arc of the Allied landings on June 6, 1944, your expert historian guide takes you through the most iconic — and most moving — sites in Normandy. From the shell-scarred cliffs of Pointe du Hoc to the white crosses of the American Cemetery overlooking the sea, every stop carries the weight of history.

Unlike group bus tours, this experience is entirely yours. Your guide adapts the day to your interests, your pace, and your family's history. If a relative served in Normandy, tell us — we can research their unit and take you to the exact ground they fought on.

Proposed Itinerary

6:30 am
Departure from Paris Direct pickup from your hotel or accommodation anywhere in Paris. Coffee & croissant stop on the way.
Pointe du Hoc
US Rangers — Cliff Assault One of the most dramatic sites in all of Normandy. The bomb craters, German bunkers, and shattered concrete tell the story of 225 Rangers who scaled 30-metre cliffs under enemy fire. Duration approx. 1 hour.
Omaha Beach
Dog Green & Charlie Sectors The most famous — and bloodiest — American landing beach. Your guide walks you onto the sand and explains the German defensive system, Allied preparation, and the chaos of June 6, 1944. Immortalised in Saving Private Ryan. Duration approx. 1 hour.
US Cemetery
American Cemetery, Colleville-sur-Mer 9,387 American soldiers rest here overlooking the beach they died to take. A profoundly moving pilgrimage site. Duration approx. 1 hour.
Lunch
Traditional Norman Lunch In a charming local fishing village — or sandwiches in the van if you prefer to keep moving. Decided on the day together.
Mulberry Harbour
Arromanches — Port Winston The ingenious artificial harbour that supplied the entire Allied army after D-Day. Vast concrete remnants still visible in the bay around the charming town of Arromanches-les-Bains.
Pegasus Bridge
First Allied Objective of D-Day Captured by British glider troops minutes after midnight on June 6. Made famous by the book and film The Longest Day. "Hold until relieved!" Optional stop at the British Commonwealth Cemetery.

What Guests Say About the Normandy Tour

★★★★★

"The Normandy tour was the highlight of our entire trip. Jozef's knowledge of D-Day was extraordinary — we felt like we truly understood what happened on those beaches. Standing on Omaha and hearing the story was deeply moving. Unforgettable."

Michael T. — Texas, USA

★★★★★

"We did the Normandy D-Day tour with three generations of our family. Jozef found my grandfather's regiment and took us to the exact sector they landed in. My father — a veteran himself — was in tears the whole day. This is not a tour. It's a pilgrimage."

Robert & Family — Virginia, USA
Viator · Normandy Ancestry Tour
★★★★★

"Absolutely perfect from start to finish. Pickup was on time, the van was comfortable, and Jozef is simply the best guide we have ever had — anywhere in the world. The American Cemetery left us speechless. Book this tour. You will not regret it."
