WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Musee du Debarquement Utah Beach
You’ll join your expert guide in Paris aboard a comfortable, private coach. On the way to Normandy, learn the details of the Allied preparations for D-Day, the largest amphibious assault in history. Your guide, a fluent English-speaker, will stay with you throughout the tour to tell the story of the operation and answer questions from history buffs and curious minds. On Utah Beach, your first stop, the Allies quickly defeated the German forces. You’ll visit an extraordinary D-Day museum housed in an old German bunker on the landing beach itself. The collection here brings home both the scale and the personal sacrifice involved in the operation, with an original B-26 airplane on display along with collections of soldiers’ letters home.
2. Utah Beach
Discover Utah Beach where the Allies landed on the morning of 6th June 1944.
3. Office de Tourisme intercommunal de Grandcamp-Maisy
Next, experience some of the culture and traditions of Normandy. Many Allied soldiers found shelter with local farmers. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to tour one, featuring a 17th-century barn, locally-made apple cider and traditional apple brandy. Lunch is served at a restaurant in a quiet port nearby.
4. Pointe du Hoc
After your meal, your coach takes you to Pointe du Hoc. From Pointe du Hoc, you’ll get a sense of the challenges the Allies faced, with views of the English Channel – and intimidating cliffs blocking access inland. Cliffs combined with enemy fire to make the landing at Omaha Beach a desperate battle for survival.
5. Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer
We’ll also have the opportunity to pay our respects to the fallen at the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer. The cemetery is located on a bluff that overlooks Omaha Beach, which was one of the landing beaches of the D-Day invasion. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., son of President Theodore Roosevelt and a Medal of Honor recipient, is buried here together with the almost 10,000 soldiers who sacrificed their lives. Your guide will use the time spent driving to provide enriching commentary and answer questions, preparing you for each stop on the tour. You'll have time to look around the cemetery, visit the wall of the missing and awe-inspiring memorial, and look down upon Omaha, the beach where the Allies faced the stiffest resistance and suffered the most casualties. The journey back to Paris gives you time to reflect on all you’ve seen – and the tremendous courage and sacrifice of those who fought here.
6. Omaha Beach
From the American Cemetery, you can see Omaha Beach, one of the landing beaches where many American soldiers are buried. Inside the Omaha Beach Visitor Centre, gain insight into the landings that did not fare accordingly to plan.

The trip was great. Raymond the guide was very knowledgeable and funny. They added driving by Omaha Beach on the way to the American Cemetery, which was a bonus. Lunch was decent and the Cider Tasting was surprisingly great. Didn't know what to expect. Overall GYG has proven to be very useful while here. We've purchased basic entry tickets to some other museums and sites as we experienced payment issues when using the actual museum websites. GYG price was just a bit more and much easier to navigate and pay. The App is good!

Raymond was a great tour guide, and I thought the tour was incredibly well paced. The bus was comfortable and it’s a great tour for people who want to see Normandy D-Day regions without renting a car.

Raymond was fantastic, his knowledge was incredible and he mixed it up with some good humour. Every stop was perfectly timed so you never feel like you are missing anything or leaving too early. I would 1000% recommend this trip to anyone travelling solo or with a group, you will not regret it!
