Offered in: German and 4 more

Settle into your private minibus and enjoy a scenic 1 hour drive through the Normandy countryside.

Begin in Sainte-Mère-Église, the first town liberated on D-Day, and visit the iconic church associated with the dramatic airborne landings of American paratroopers.

Continue to Pointe du Hoc, where massive bomb craters and German bunkers still dominate the landscape. Walk the cliffside battlefield and learn how U.S. Rangers scaled the cliffs under heavy fire to secure this key position.

Travel along the historic coastline facing the English Channel to Omaha Beach, one of the fiercest and most significant landing zones of D-Day, where time is given to walk the sands and hear personal stories of the landings.

Conclude at the Normandy American Cemetery, where nearly 10,000 American soldiers are honored in a peaceful setting overlooking the beach, with time to reflect at the memorial, visitor center, and rows of white crosses.
