WW II Private Guided Tour American Landing Beaches in Normandy

Despre activitate

Our private guided tours stand out due to their personalized and private natures, offering a more intimate and tailored experience for our guests.

This exclusivity can provide a deeper connection to the history of the American Landing Beaches in Normandy, making it a unique and memorable journey for those seeking a more individualized exploration.

Let us show you the American landing beaches like Omaha and Utah Beach. Walk over the grounds where the American Rangers tried so hard to silence the big guns at Pointe du Hoc.

Let's start where the American Paratroopers touched Normandy soil as the first American troops to bring back Liberty to Europe.

And pay respect to those who fought for our Liberation, and now are buried at the Normandy American Cemetary and Memorial.

Itinerar

  1. Sainte-Mere-Eglise

    o oră

    As one of the main objectives of the 82nd US Airborne Division, it is the first liberated village by this unit, to secure and protect the rightwing flank (as seen from the oceanside) of the landingbeaches, to enable the 4th and 90th Infantry Divisions pass through from UTAH beach, to cut off the Cotentin Peninsula, on their way to the deepsea port of Cherbourg.

    Visit the church where paratrooper John Steele was so unfortunate to got stuck upon the steeple, as shown in the movie “The Longest Day !”

    Statue of Brigadier General “Teddy” Roosevelt jr..

  2. Utah Beach

    1 h 30 min

    The smallest of the two American landingbeaches, but very important in according to seize the deep sea harbor of Cherbourg in order to bring in supplies.

    Considered as the most successful with the least casualties of all Normandy landing beaches.

    The beach where General Teddy Roosevelt came ashore, the first seaborn general to land on Normandy soil.

    We visit the beach, explain the situation the Allied soldiers had to deal with on June 6th, 1944

  3. Sainte-Marie-du-Mont

    30 min

    The first liberated village by the 101st Airborne Division, in addition to secure the exit roads leading off UTAH-beach. Visit the French resistance monument, and take a tour around the beautiful church, where elements of the 101st AB Div. eliminated a German sniper hidden in the steeple.

  4. D-Day Experience (Dead Man's Corner museum)

    Trecere fără oprire

    The crossroad to be taken by the 101st AB paratroopers before they would reach Carentan.

    The name DMC refers to a small allied tank that was taken out by German paratroopers, who were well entrenched around the building that today houses an interesting museum.

    The tankcommander was killed trying to escape his tank, and was hanging over the turret for days, before the body could be recovered finally.

  5. Carentan

    30 min

    Carentan, located inbetween UTAH Beach and OMAHA Beach, was of eminent importance. Carentan became of vital importance to link the two American landingbeaches. The battle for Carentan lasted from June 10th – June 15th. After 5 days of fierce fighting the 101st Airborne Paratroopers were kind of relieved by elements of the 2nd Armoured Division, and the 29th Infantry Division, both coming from bloody OMAHA.

  6. Pointe du Hoc

    o oră

    On top of 100 foot high cliffs, the Germans had constructed one of their biggest long range gun batteries. We follow the tracks of the American Rangers, under command of Col. James Rudder, who were given the task to destroy the guns.

  7. Omaha Beach

    2 ore

    The worst place to be on June 6th ! We’ll visit the part of the beach that was depicted in the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan.

    During and after visiting this beach, you’ll hear about the units involved, learn what went wrong and see the differences with UTAH beach.

    And you’ll have even more respect for the troops after seeing for yourself how initiative, determination and leadership resulted in success.

    1 h 30 min

    “All gave some, some gave all ……. !”

    More than 170 acres covers the cemetary overlooking OMAHA beach.

    More than 9.300 men (and women) are buried here, and more than 1.500 names are engraved in the wall of the missing…….

    Normally our last visit of our tour, and your opportunity to pay your respects.
