About this tour
A three-day private tour exploring Normandy's D-Day sites and Mont Saint-Michel, departing from your hotel in a Mercedes vehicle with a knowledgeable guide-driver. You'll cover both Omaha and Utah beaches, walk through museums and memorials that chronicle the 1944 landings, visit the airborne jump-off point, then conclude with the UNESCO abbey and local Calvados tasting. Two nights' accommodation and breakfast included.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at the hotel each morning. You'll travel in a comfortable Mercedes, moving between sites faster than coach groups. Days alternate between beachhead positions (Omaha and Utah) where you'll stand where soldiers landed, then inland to museums with authentic artefacts and personal accounts. The Caen Memorial offers context through exhibits; smaller chapels and town stops provide quieter reflection. By day three, you've shifted mood entirely—Mont Saint-Michel's medieval silhouette and abbey interior feel like stepping back centuries. The drive includes Calvados sampling in Cabourg, a Norman seaside town.
