About this tour
Explore Normandy's D-Day landing beaches on a private seven to eleven-hour tour departing from Honfleur or Le Havre.

You set the pace and focus; the itinerary flexes around what matters to you. Transport, water, pastries, and snacks are provided.

What to expect
You'll spend the bulk of the day moving between three to five major sites across the invasion sector, with your guide narrating events and pointing out geography relevant to the operations. Expect to walk beach sections, climb some gentle slopes to bunkers or viewpoints, and spend time at memorials. The American Cemetery is sombre and reflective; other stops are more tactile. Weather is typically cool; bring a jumper. Lunch is your responsibility, though the cooler and snacks help bridge gaps. The guide adjusts the route if you're flagging or want to linger somewhere.
Good to know
