Normandy: Private Tour of the D-Day Beaches (American Sector)
Description
Our first stop will be at the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, a poignant tribute to the Allied soldiers who lost their lives. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to pay your respects and learn more about the significance of this solemn site. Next, we’ll head to Omaha Beach, where you’ll walk along the sands that witnessed one of the most difficult assaults of D-Day. Your guide will recount the heroic efforts and sacrifices made by American forces during the landing. From Omaha Beach, we’ll continue to Pointe du Hoc, a cliff-top location that was a strategic objective for the U.S. Army Rangers on D-Day. Our journey will then take us to the charming town of Sainte-Mère-Église, famous for the story of paratrooper John Steele, whose parachute became entangled in the church steeple during the airborne assault.

Norman was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and showed a lot of patience with our endless questions. Added a number of things to make the tour even more interesting. Would certainly book again and request him as a guide.
Don't you worry about your endless questions, I am happy to answer touristic questions about Normandy and different topics. See you soon again in Normandy.

We had a great experience with Norman. Spent the day with him as he walked us through the events that happened in the American sectors of Utah in Omaha Beach. He was easy to speak with and understand and have great knowledge of the events of that time.
Thanks a lot for this review, with pleasure. Norman from Noresta.
We spend the day with Norman who showed us the important American sites related to the Normandy D-day invasion. He was very friendly, easy to speak with and did a great job of keeping us engaged.
Thank so much Earl, it's been a absolute pleasure doing researches about your uncle who rests at the American War Cemetery. I'm hoping to see you again.
