Overview

This is the bucket list D-Day shore excursion from Rouen — a fully private tour covering the complete American story of June 6, 1944, with a licensed WWII expert guide exclusively for your group.

At Pointe du Hoc, as seen in Saving Private Ryan, you walk among the original craters and bunkers where U.S. Army Rangers scaled the cliffs under fire. At Omaha Beach, your guide narrates every sector of the landing. At the Normandy American Cemetery, 9,387 white marble crosses face the English Channel — one of the most moving sights in all of France.

This tour is fully customizable. Tell us your interests and we build the day around your group.
