Meet Your Expert D-Day Guide
Meet your English-speaking local guide in Bayeux, a specialist in the Normandy landings and D-Day, who will introduce the key sites and schedule of your private half-day tour. Travel in a spacious, air-conditioned Mercedes minivan reserved just for your party, equipped with Wi‑Fi, bottled water and an audio system so you can clearly hear the commentary from any seat.
Discover Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc
Your D-Day experience begins along the coastal battlefield road at Omaha Beach, the most heavily defended of the landing beaches, where your guide brings to life the challenges faced by American troops on 6 June 1944. Continue to Pointe du Hoc, where U.S. Rangers scaled 30‑metre cliffs under fire to neutralize German positions; walking among bomb craters and bunkers, you can still see the scars of intense bombardments.
Pay Tribute at the Normandy American Cemetery
End the tour at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, overlooking Omaha Beach, where rows of white crosses honor the American soldiers who fell in the Battle of Normandy. You’ll have time to reflect, visit the Visitor Center to deepen your understanding of the D-Day landings, and then relax on the drive back to Bayeux.

Reviews
We had a very fun day with Matt to Mont Saint-Mitchel. Matt is an excellent tour guide & he cared for his clients very much. He's an on time person. We learned a lot about the history of Saint-Mitchel via Matt. He made sure we have enough time browsing this beautiful UNESCO. We definitely recommend friends & family this tour. Thank you Matt
Pascal was, above all, a smiling whirlwind of energy from the very start — bursting with knowledge, passion, and just the right amount of dramatic flair. He painted the horror of the Omaha Beach invasion so vividly that we could practically hear the chaos, then marched us through the bunkers at Pointe du Hoc like we were on a mission ourselves. And before we even caught our breath, he had already catapulted us back to Bayeux at invasion speed. A legend in tour‑guide form. Thanks from Croatian Team😉
Our Normandy D-Day tour was well worth it and we so enjoyed our tour guide Matt. He made the tour engaging, entertaining and informative. The tour was just the right size and a half day was perfect for us. It would have been much harder to get around to the sites and understand each without the information that Matt was constantly sharing. There was hardly a time that Matt was not telling us what/how/when of what we were looking at. Thanks Matt!
