Omaha, Pointe du Hoc & US Cemetery - Half Day

Retrace the events of the Allied landings on the Normandy coast and visit some of the key sites involved in the biggest military operation in history

Step into the pages of history on this powerful half-day tour of Normandy’s most significant U.S. D-Day landing sites, where bravery, sacrifice, and resilience shaped the course of World War II. With a knowledgeable guide bringing the stories to life, you’ll journey along the coastline where, on June 6th, 1944, the Allied forces launched one of the most pivotal military operations in modern history.

Your first stop is Pointe du Hoc, a dramatic clifftop battlefield where the U.S. Army Rangers scaled 30-meter cliffs under heavy fire to neutralize a critical German artillery position. The landscape remains deeply scarred, with original bunkers and massive bomb craters offering a haunting reminder of the fierce combat that took place here.

Next, visit Omaha Beach, the most infamous of the American landing zones. Here, strategic miscalculations, harsh terrain, and formidable German defenses turned the beach into a crucible of chaos and heroism. As you stand on the same sands where thousands fought and fell, your guide will recount the harrowing accounts of courage that unfolded on D-Day morning.

Your final stop is the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, where 9,386 white marble headstones stand in solemn tribute to the fallen. You'll have time to walk the serene grounds, reflect at the Wall of the Missing, and explore the visitor center, which provides in-depth personal stories and historical context through multimedia exhibits.

This tour is a moving, unforgettable encounter with the legacy of D-Day, one that honors the immense human cost and courage of those who fought for freedom on these hallowed shores.
