This private tour covers the main operations and objectives of the American troops on D-Day. It is the perfect tour for a first visit to the landing beaches.
STANDARD AMERICAN TOUR LISTED HERE BUT WE CAN ALSO CHANGE FOR A BRITISH AND/OR CANADIAN TOUR - JUST ASK UPON BOOKING
About me : Born and raised in Normandy, my knowledge of the history of Normandy, its traditions, and its local differences depending on where you are in Normandy (agriculture, architecture, etc) enables me to provide countless bits of information. I always adapt the content of the tours to my guests, as well as the lay-out of the itinerary, to make the most of our time together. In regards of the DDay tours, I'm also seeing the two sides of the coins, those who fight, and those who just try to survive in the midst of the war.

Our tour guides were extremely knowledgeable about the area, the history and made it real for us They made it possible for my husband to sign the wall in memory of his dad in the Rosevelt cafe, as his dad, who landed on Omaha beach had signed the wall earlier. They were even able to give us a more complete history of the Normandy area prior to the war too

I have waited a long time to visit the landing sites and American Cemetery. Dominique was such a great guide. She is so knowledgable on the entire military operation in Normandy, we got great information about the objectives after the beaches and geographic challenges facing the allied troops.

Dominique was superb. She presented the facts of Operation Overlord from the perspective how the actual event s unfolded but with the added emotion of a Norman as she is from the region. We saw all the important areas from June 6th, 1944 and enjoyed a nice lunch in St Mere Eglise. I would highly recommend her regardless of your background or knowledge of D-Day. Tres Bon!

Dominique was fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure she involved the kids in her stories. We had recently watched Band of Brothers and she did a great job weaving in stories and sights from the show which my 16 year old loved! I would absolutely recommend Dominique - she is a first class tour guide!

Dominique was easy to deal with and customized our tour to cover both US and English aspects. She is knowledgeable, passionate and friendly. The tour was very informative and well worth the expense.

We were fortunate to enjoy Dominique’s guidance on two days while in Normandy. If you are lucky enough to engage Dominique, you are lucky indeed! Her knowledge of WW2 and Normandy is unrivaled. After one day of her guidance, we engaged her for a second. Dominique is an intellectual and deeply committed to educating visitors to the region and listening to their interests as well as generously sharing her own. She is a treasure and I hope to find guides equal to her in future travels.

Dominique our tour guide was wonderful. Her knowledge of the D Day invasion and other information she had about the events of that time were amazing.
We enjoyed the day and thought it was very worthwhile. We would definitely use the service again.

We booked this tour and had Dominique as a tour guide. She was wonderful! She asked us a lot of questions as we drove to start the tour, and that helped us get the most out of the day. When she found out that my son and I were Band of Brothers fans, she made sure we stopped at the memorial for Capt. Winters, as well as the actual field where Capt. Winters and his team took out 4 German artillery batteries on D-Day. This really brought things to life and was a great touch.
If you're even moderately interested in WWII, I would strongly recommend this tour. Dominique was a great guide and she shared a lot of information with us. Certainly worth the day-long adventure.
