Normandy American D-Day Beaches Full Day Tour from Bayeux

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,103 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $169Our pick

Spend nine hours tracing the American D-Day campaign with a guide such as Eric, Alex, Igor, Julie, or Kate. Walk Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc, pause at the American Cemetery, see the Utah Beach Museum and its B-26 Marauder, then visit Sainte-Mère-Église.

“I have done a lot of Viator and Get Your Guide tours in Europe. This was by far the best. Eric, on top of being extremely knowledgeable, was personable and experienced. I studied and read a lot to prepare for this trip, but it paled compared with Eric's knowledge. You are missing out if you don't do this tour.”

“A perfect trip to the Loire valley! If you are looking for an effortless way to visit some of the castles in the Loire valley, this tour is great. Our tour guide, Camille, was absolutely wonderful and made this tour a highlight of our trip to France. She is fun, outgoing, knowledgeable, and organized. Our driver, Aziz, was also excellent at navigating from the crowded highways to the narrow village streets. Visiting 3 castles in one day is ambitious and the time at each one is limited, but that was exactly what we were expecting and it did not feel too rushed. You got a taste of each one before…”

The small tour group size also enabled me to enjoy the experience and feel like it was truly unique and special. Overall, the tour was truly wonderful, the others in my tour group were great to share the time with, and lastly my tour guide Stefan…”
