Description

An exploration into the past as we pay tribute to our fallen soldiers and honour the immense sacrifices made during the landings. Experience the history on this unforgettable journey through Normandy.
Embark on a profound journey through history with our Normandy D-Day Adventure. Your tour begins at Utah Beach, where the first waves of American troops landed on June 6, 1944. Feel the weight of history as you walk the sands and imagine the bravery of those who stormed these shores.

Next, we travel to the quaint village of Sainte-Mère-Église, famous for the paratrooper who famously got caught on the church steeple. Here, you’ll explore the Airborne Museum, which vividly recounts the experiences of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions.

From there, we head to Pointe du Hoc, where you’ll witness the dramatic cliffs scaled by the US Rangers. The landscape remains scarred by the fierce fighting, offering a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made.

Our journey continues to Omaha Beach, perhaps the most iconic of the D-Day landing sites. Here, you’ll walk the very ground where the most intense fighting occurred, and gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by the Allied forces.

Following Omaha Beach, we visit the Overlord Museum, which houses an extensive collection of artifacts and exhibits that bring the events of Operation Overlord to life. Through tanks, weapons, uniforms, and personal stories, you’ll gain a comprehensive view of this monumental military operation.

Finally, we conclude our tour at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. Overlooking Omaha Beach, this serene and solemn site is the final resting place for nearly 9,000 American soldiers. Here, you’ll have time to reflect on the enormity of their sacrifice and honor their memory in a setting of great beauty and tranquility.

Join us on this unforgettable journey and connect deeply with the history and heroism of D-Day and Operation Overlord.
