The local guide will meet you at your hotel. You can request the tour to start from any centrally located hotel. If you are staying outside the city, the activity provider will suggest a central meeting point or arrange pickup (if available).

Start your tour in this historic village where American paratroopers landed during the night of June 5–6, 1944. Visit the church with a parachute hanging from its steeple, honoring the dramatic Airborne landings.

Walk the fields where Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment took out German artillery in a successful assault, famously portrayed in Band of Brothers.

Pause at this small but meaningful memorial dedicated to Lt. Richard “Dick” Winters and the leadership of the Airborne troops in Normandy.

Visit the westernmost D-Day landing beach where American troops came ashore under German fire. Explore the museum and see restored bunkers and artifacts.

See the dramatic cliffs scaled by US Army Rangers to destroy German gun positions. The craters and bunkers remain as powerful reminders of the battle.

Stand on the bloodiest of the landing beaches. Once the scene of fierce fighting, this stretch of coastline now honors the bravery of American forces.

Visit the American cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach. Rows of white crosses and Stars of David commemorate the fallen heroes of D-Day.

Explore one of the best-preserved German artillery batteries. The original gun positions offer views over the English Channel and insight into enemy defenses.

End your tour in Arromanches, where remnants of the Mulberry artificial harbor still remain. Visit the museum to learn how this floating port supplied Allied troops after the landings.
