Pascal was an amazing tour guide. He was so informative and detailed about everything. He really helped us to get a sense of what was happening at that terrible time in history. We saw so many great things, including the D-Day beaches, the American cemetery, and other sites. We could not possibly have understood what we were seeing without his expert guidance. We highly recommend this informative and moving tour!

We enjoyed an outstanding day with our guide, Pierre. All logistical elements ran smoothly. Pierre was knowledgeable, engaging and offered lots of depth and details beyond the standard "script" of events. A large format display book of photos and maps used by Pierre was very helpful in showing the historical events, aftermath and implications. Pierre also was very helpful with excellent and practical lunch recommendations at Sainte-Mère-Église. We highly recommend this tour!

Full description

Meet your guide at Place de Québec and then begin your D-Day exploration adventure, retracing history as you uncover the day of June 6, 1944.
The first stop is at the village of Sainte-Mère-Eglise, the heart of the jump zone for the 82nd Airborne U.S. forces. Listen to stories of how paratroopers rained on the village, and how one of them famously got caught in the tower of the church.
Visit Utah beach, the second location where American troops landed on D-Day
Then, continue to Pointe du Hoc, a breathtaking cliff offering lunar landscapes and a magnificent viewpoint over the English Channel. 
The site was built as a key point of the Atlantic Wall by the Germans because it was the highest point between the Omaha and Utah beaches and provided a great observation spot to notice any arrivals from the sea.
Head to Omaha beach, where the deadliest landings of the day took place. From your guide, learn about the landings here and the soldiers who risked their lives.
Your D-Day sightseeing tour of Normandy ends with a visit to the US military cemetery where you will have the chance to pay your respects and honor the soldiers of World War ll.

I cannot imagine a better person to help us learn about the events surrounding the D-Day invasion than Matt Turner. He is personable, knowledgeable, and entertaining. His presentation style is just excellent, and we learned so much context and nuance that enhanced our rudimentary knowledge about the events. He’s probably the best tour guide I have ever experienced, and I cannot recommend him more highly.
