American D-DAY TourExplore the Landmarks, Legends, and Legacy of June 6th, 1944
Walk in the footsteps of heroes on this full-day guided tour of the D-Day landing beaches. Designed to offer a profound understanding of the Normandy invasion and its pivotal role in World War II, this experience takes you to key American sector sites, where courage, strategy, and sacrifice shaped the course of history.
Your journey begins at Pointe du Hoc, a dramatic cliffside battlefield where U.S. Army Rangers scaled sheer rock faces under enemy fire to neutralize heavily fortified German artillery. The bomb-scarred terrain and preserved bunkers offer an unfiltered view of the brutal challenges faced on June 6th, 1944.
Next, visit Utah Beach, the westernmost landing zone for American forces. Learn how the 4th Infantry Division came ashore amid German fire and quickly pushed inland, an operation that exceeded expectations thanks to meticulous planning and remarkable bravery. Explore the Utah Beach Museum, home to an authentic B-26 bomber and compelling exhibits that bring the landings to life.
Continue to Sainte-Mère-Église, one of the first towns liberated by American paratroopers. Here, the dramatic story of John Steele, whose parachute caught on the church steeple, still captures imaginations. Visit the Airborne Museum, a tribute to the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, and discover their vital role in disrupting enemy defenses ahead of the beach landings.
At Omaha Beach, reflect on the most heavily contested of all landing zones. Here, the 1st and 29th U.S. Infantry Divisions suffered staggering losses under relentless German fire. Standing on the sand today, it’s nearly impossible to fathom the chaos that once engulfed these now-tranquil shores but your guide will bring the past into vivid focus through personal stories and military insight.
Conclude the day at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, a place of deep reverence and reflection. Walk among the 9,386 white marble crosses and Stars of David, honoring American soldiers who never returned home. Pause at the Wall of the Missing, and take in views of Omaha Beach below, where so many gave everything for freedom.
Throughout the tour, your expert guide will share personal accounts, military strategies, and little-known facts that help illuminate the human side of this monumental day.
