Overview

Meet your guide as you get off your ship for your shore excursion from Cherbourg and get comfortable in our vehicle for an outstanding day packed with emotion and history in the footsteps of the American soldiers who liberated France in 1944.

I always adapt the content of the tours to my guests if need be, as well as the lay-out of the itinerary, to make the most of our time together. It is possible to change the sites proposed here for others in the same area.

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.

A guided tour of the D-Day beaches in Normandy becomes something far more powerful than just visiting historic sites when it’s led by a local expert guide.

What makes it truly unique is the human depth they bring to the landscape.

Strictly private tour for your group only.

Omaha Beach

Omaha is the most famous of the five beaches of 6 June 1944. The U.S. divisions involved lost some 4700 men, who were either killed, wounded or missing. It was the highest rate of D-Day losses in any of the five landing zones, and soon the beach was dubbed ‘Bloody Omaha’.The two U.S. infantry divisions which landed from 06:30 onwards (the 1st Division on the eastern half of the beach and the 29th division on the western half) experienced critical moments. The first two assault waves were decimated within a few minutes.

Utah Beach

Utah Beach was the first beach to be stormed by the Allies on the morning of 6 June 1944. It was chosen to establish a beachhead in the Cotentin region in order to capture the town of Cherbourg and its deep water port. At the end of the day, more than 23,000 American soldiers landed to fight a titanic battle and liberate France. A lunch break will be planned as well.

Sainte-Mere-Eglise

A small and quiet rural community, Saint-Mère-Eglise was of great importance as it straddled all communications to Cherbourg. While nearly 13,000 American paratroops were being dropped under a full moon into the confusion of the surrounding countryside, famously one company was dropped, at about 1:45am, onto the village square and cattle market of this now world-famous village.
