Walk the sands of Omaha Beach, stand above the vast American Cemetery, and trace the story of liberation with a dedicated private historian-guide. One of history's most moving pilgrimages, told intimately.
What to expect
Your private driver-guide collects you at the Rouen port and heads west into the Calvados countryside. The day takes in the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, Omaha and Pointe du Hoc, and the German gun batteries — each site contextualised with first-hand accounts and archival detail. Lunch is taken at a local Norman restaurant before the afternoon beaches. You return to Rouen with time to spare before all-aboard.
Good to know
The round trip from Rouen is approximately 3–3.5 hours driving; plan on a 7–8 hour port day minimum. Pre-book well in advance — private D-Day guides fill months ahead, especially in summer. Confirm your all-aboard time with the operator so the return is scheduled with buffer.
