Itinerary
Begin your journey on the historic sands where the 4th Infantry Division from the American troops landed on D-Day.
Located on the historic Normandy coast, the Utah Beach D-Day Museum offers a powerful journey into the events of June 6, 1944. Situated at the very landing site, it immerses visitors in the story of the Allied victory. The visit begins with a compelling introductory film, blending archival footage and veteran testimonies to recount the significance of Operation Overlord. The museum’s exhibits feature over 1,300 authentic artifacts, including personal items, military equipment, and the star attraction—a fully restored B-26 Marauder bomber. Interactive models, detailed maps, and photographs provide a vivid understanding of the challenges faced by the troops, making this museum a must-see tribute to history and bravery.
Witness the heroic legacy of Pointe du Hoc, where the courage and determination of the US Army Rangers forever echo in the formidable cliffs and inspire awe for their extraordinary feats during the D-Day invasion.
Step foot onto the legendary shores of Omaha Beach, where history echoes in the waves, honoring the bravery and sacrifice of those who stormed its sands, forever etching their mark in the annals of valor and liberation.
Lunch Break. Enjoy a relaxing lunch at a charming local restaurant, savoring the regional cuisine of Normandy.
Pay solemn tribute to the fallen heroes at the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, where row upon row of white crosses and Stars of David stand in dignified reverence, reminding us of the immeasurable price paid for freedom and inspiring us to honor their legacy with unwavering gratitude.

Awesome tour. Steve was extremely knowledgeable and presented the material exquisitely. The bus was clean and comfortable. All accommodations were thought of and all expectations were met!
Steve ran an excellent tour - informative, accurate, friendly, respectful, patient, and experience. Doing a small group brought additional meaning to this awesome, humbling experience. I left the day with such a great appreciation for what the allied forces accomplished and the sacrifices made.
This was an amazing tour! Full of historic information. Bus driver did a great job. Our tour guide was fun, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend this tour. Plenty of restroom stops as well.
We had a great tour guide and great bus drivers. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and FUN! I would highly recommend this tour
The tour guide, although funny, made mistakes when talking about the history of WW2, showing a lack o knowledge. Also, the trip was supposed to last 14h (7am - 9pm), but lasted only 12h. Because of that, the visit to the cemetery was really rushed. The vehicle was good and I didn't have any issues with that, but the experience could have been so much better with more knowledge from the guide and more time (that was part of the deal!).
Thank you for your review. I regret that the experience didn’t meet your expectations, but I must respond to a few points you raised. First, regarding historical accuracy: I’ve been guiding this D-Day tour for over three years and have welcomed more than 10,000 guests—including numerous historians, WWII educators, veterans and military professionals—who have consistently praised the depth and accuracy of the content. I take historical integrity seriously, and if you believe I made specific mistakes, I invite you to point them out clearly so they can be addressed. General accusations of “lack of knowledge” are not only unfair but also unhelpful without clarification. As for the duration: the tour is listed clearly onViator, GYG and TripAdvisor as approximately 12 hours, not 14. This has always been transparent and aligns with our schedule. Finally, while I appreciate your positive comment about the vehicle, I stand by the quality of this tour, which has earned hundreds of 5-star reviews. I remain open to constructive feedback, but it’s important that reviews are based on accurate information and fair expectations. Sincerely, Steve Letist Guide & Founder, French Experience
Steven was great, very knowledgeable, and very nice. He wasn't your typical tour guide he was informative in an engaging fun way. I'm so glad we did the tour and very happy with how it all went.

Steve was a wonderful tour guide. Very knowledgeable and great personality. I would highly recommend him. He went above and beyond pointing out several places on our way to Normandy and lots of history behind each one.
Steve picked us up early in a surprise upgrade of a luxury car! Steve was informative and friendly. The tour was amazing. The museums are really well done. The highlight was the American cemetery at Normandy. Highly recommend
