The D-Day Experience

€600.00 flat fee

June 6, 1944 changed the world. The beaches of Normandy – Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, Sword – are not simply historical sites. They are places where ordinary people did extraordinary things, and where the weight of what happened is still felt in the landscape, the cemeteries, and the silence.

This is a private guided day designed for those who want to understand what really happened here -not from a plaque or a guidebook, but from someone who knows these places intimately and can give your group the context, the stories, and the time to absorb them.

Your guide is a local Norman specialist who speaks English fluently and tailors every visit to the interests and pace of your group. There is no fixed script and no rush. The itinerary is yours to shape.

The day is long – plan to leave at approximately 6:00 a.m. and return by 8:00 p.m. or later. For many guests, it is the most memorable day of their stay.
