This private tour takes you from the cobblestones and fishing boats of Honfleur to the most significant D-Day sites in Normandy — Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, and the Normandy American Cemetery — and returns you comfortably before your ship sails.
No group bus. No shared itinerary. No strangers. Just your private vehicle, your driver, and the freedom to move at your own pace through one of the most important chapters in modern history.
You'll stand on the cliffs where Rangers scaled vertical rock faces under fire. You'll walk the sands of Omaha — quiet now, but once the site of one of the most intense battles of World War II. And you'll pause among 9,387 white crosses at the cemetery above the beach, looking out toward the Atlantic.
Your return to ship is guaranteed. Your driver manages the schedule so you never have to.

1Pointe du Hoc
On June 6, 1944, U.S. Army Rangers were assigned what many considered an impossible mission: scale a 30-meter cliff face under enemy fire and destroy a German battery threatening both Omaha and Utah Beach. They made it. Pointe du Hoc remains one of the most preserved D-Day sites in Normandy. Shell craters scar the earth. Concrete bunkers sit split open by Allied bombardment. Gun emplacements still face the Channel. Few places in Normandy are this raw.

2Omaha Beach
Omaha was the bloodiest of the five landing beaches. American forces from the 1st and 29th Infantry Divisions faced heavily fortified German positions on the bluffs above — and paid an enormous price. Today the beach is wide, quiet, and edged by dunes. Standing here, looking out to sea, it is almost impossible to reconcile the stillness with what took place on that June morning. Your driver will give you time to walk, reflect, and take in the scale of it.

3Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer
Perched on the bluffs above Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery holds 9,387 graves — soldiers, sailors, and airmen who gave their lives in the liberation of Western Europe. Rows of white marble crosses and Stars of David stretch across 70 acres of manicured lawn, facing west toward America. The site includes a memorial chapel, a Wall of the Missing bearing 1,557 names, and an interactive museum telling the story of the Normandy Campaign.
