About this tour
This eight-hour guided tour traces the American landings across Normandy's D-Day beaches, departing from Bayeux. You'll visit Utah and Omaha beaches, the American military cemetery, and Sainte-Mère-Eglise, with stops at significant defensive positions. An English-speaking guide leads groups of up to 19 in a climate-controlled vehicle, offering detailed context for each location.

What to expect
You'll spend the day moving between coastal landing sites and inland positions, with your guide explaining tactical movements and historical significance at each stop. Expect roughly equal time in the vehicle and at sites—terrain varies from open beaches to gentle walking areas near monuments and cemeteries. The pace suits all fitness levels, though comfortable shoes help. You'll encounter period fortifications, visitor facilities at major sites, and views across the Channel. Bring water and sun protection; entrance fees to museums and attractions are your own cost.
