Visit the Normandy Invasion Beaches on a Small Group Tour

Visit All Five D-Day Beaches

To fully understand the story of the Normandy invasion, it is important to see all five landing beaches.

This tour includes Utah and Omaha, where American forces landed, as well as Gold and Sword, where British troops came ashore, and Juno, where Canadian forces played a critical role. Seeing all five beaches provides a much clearer understanding of how the Allied invasion unfolded and why it succeeded.

That is one of the great advantages of a carefully planned small group Normandy tour.

Honor the Heroes of D-Day

This tour offers the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of some of the most courageous men of D-Day, including Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr., 1st Lt. Jimmie Monteith Jr., T/Sgt. Frank Peregory, and Pvt. Charles DeGlopper.

Learn what these men faced, what they accomplished, and why they were awarded our nation’s highest military honor. Pay tribute at the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, where extraordinary courage and sacrifice are remembered with dignity and respect.

Important Museums and Historic Sites

In addition to the beaches, this tour includes many of the most important museums, memorials, and battlefield locations connected to D-Day and the Battle of Normandy.

Sites may include the Hillman Bunker private tour, based on availability, as well as the American Cemetery Visitor Center and other important interpretive stops that help bring the events of June 6, 1944, to life.

See the Places That Tell the Full Story

This Normandy tour includes many of the region’s most important historic sites, including Pegasus Bridge, Café Gondrée, Ranville Commonwealth Cemetery, Ouistreham Casino, the Commandos Memorial, the Mulberry harbor remains, La Fière, Sainte-Mère-Église, Brécourt Manor, Easy Red sector, Vierville Draw, Pointe du Hoc, the Church of Angoville-au-Plain, Le Cambe German War Cemetery, Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, and other significant memorials and battle sites.

Because this is a small group tour, we can often provide a more flexible and in-depth experience than larger motorcoach tours.

Mont St-Michel Included
