This immersive experience offers a unique opportunity to delve into the historical significance of the D-Day landings and gain a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made on June 6th, 1944. Local Culture and Tasting: In addition to exploring the historical sites, we’ll go to a quiet port for a two-course lunch in a local restaurant. American Military Cemetery: The tour concludes with an emotional and thought-provoking stop at the American Military cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer.

Lawrence was an excellent guide! The only complaint was we could have spent a little more time at the Utah Beach museum, it was really good. Tour bus was comfortable and cold AC. Lunch stop was good as well. The Norman sauce on the chicken was soo good!

The tour was excellent, and the guide was fantastic. The drive it four hours each way, but the bus did stop halfway. The included meal was wonderful. It was a very long, but very worthwhile day. The guide explained everything that took place on D-Day. The tour of the beaches was so moving and beautiful. I highly recommend going there.

We had a wonderful tour with an exceptional guide who gave excellent history “lessons” throughout the day. Normandy and the beaches and museums was very moving…a “bucket list” place for us. We highly recommend the trip.
