Sainte-Marie-du-Mont holds the distinction of being the second town in France to be liberated during the D-Day operations on June 6, 1944. Visit the church where the liberation was celebrated.

Visit the Pointe du Hoc, where the remnants of bunkers and cliffs bear witness to the incredible bravery of those who scaled them amid the chaos of battle. Even today, traces of the bombings that took place there are still very much visible.
Experience the delightful flavors of Normandy with a cider tasting at LEBREC. Nestled in the picturesque countryside, this charming farm offers a chance to sample a variety of traditional ciders crafted from locally grown apples. Discover the unique notes and aromas that define Norman cider while enjoying the serene rural setting. It's a perfect blend of taste and tradition, providing a memorable highlight for your day trip.

Could not recommend enough! Your guide was exceptional and the stops were timed out perfectly. Cider tasting was a must! Do not hesitate to book this tour!
It was a great day! The trip was extremely informative, and the service was outstanding.
Angeline was fantastic! Smart, knowledge and compassionate. We could not have asked for a better guide to the emotional beaches of Normandy.
Our day trip to Normandy was fabulous. We saw so much and learned so much. We highly recommend this booking. We had Angelina as our tour guide and she was amazing.
Angeline was great. She was very knowledgeable and seemed to love the history. Had a great time.
Very knowledgeable guide and great destinations
It was a very long and emotional day. Our guide was excellent and the private van ride okay. On a particularly hot day the van's air conditioner worked well. Our lunch was excellent, we ate at a small farm house type of restaurant and everything was excellent. Seeing the places where history occurred to save the freedom of the Western World took its tool on each of us. The bravery of the Allied soldiers and marines was extraordinary. Seeing the American cemetery was very moving, the grounds were so well kept, they were immaculate. All in all this is a destination each American must see for themselves to honor these most brave me who saved democracy.
Excellent tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable about the locations and added fun and relatable trivia for our teenagers. She was accommodating of our needs and kept to a tight schedule which we appreciated.
She was very nice and accommodating
Angline was fantastic. She was so informative and attentive. The best tour guide around.
Angeline was a wonderful and informative guide to Normandy. Patient and effective, she guided us through our wonderful day trip with ease. And her English was perfect. Our driver Paul was great too, made quick work of the roads! Highly recommended.
Went on a day trip of Normandy from Paris. It was great! Informative, super well organized and fun!
Wonderful experience! Angelin was a delightful guide, and very knowledgeable about the history of the sites we visited. I love learning about World War II.
Angeline was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable. Getting to the Omaha Beach cemetery to hear taps and the end of the day was very moving.
Angeline was wonderful. So knowledgeable and patient with our large group. Very kind and calm. Perfectly balanced giving us the right amount of tour information with allowing us to explore on our own. Sometimes all day tours can be hectic and overwhelming but she made it relaxing and enjoyable.
Great experience. Angeline, our guide, was terrific, as she shared with us a lot of interesting facts about the sites and D-Day. She was extremely accommodating, as she answered all of our questions and was very engaged with the group.
Angeline was outstanding including informative presentations at every stop.
Angeline was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable. Learned a great deal about D-day. The trip was everything we hoped for. Highly recommend!
Angeline was a wonderful guide and very patient with our group of eleven people!
Had a wonderful time. Guided were fantastic.
Great experience and your guide.
The day as a whole was wonderful. Anjali was very knowledgeable about each stop, able to answer all questions, kind, and it was clear she enjoys her job. The photographer was great as well. He was respectful of the customers, helping the women in and out of the van, and respectful of Anjali. He did his job without distracting from her, and he often followed the group to ensure everyone was together. Each stop was an appropriate amount of time. I really enjoyed the small group experience (5-6 people). This size group made it easy to hear all the information provided, stay on time, and was well worth the cost. The lunch and cider tasting was a bonus!
This was my 3rd time visiting Normandy. This was THE BEST experience. The entire team was very professional. Anjali knows her facts, but mostly she tells this important story with commitment and compassion. Her narrative/interpretation is so compelling that she has captivated us each stop. The sequence of the stops was perfect. The seemingly long day flew by and I am going home with a deeper understanding of this significant piece of WWII history.
Tour of the Normandy Beaches was exceptional!
Great experience, would recommend to all. Our guide was very knowledgeable and everything was perfectly organized.
Could not recommend this tour more! Anjali was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had, and I’m someone who books tours everywhere I travel! She was extremely knowledgeable and engaging! Her partner was great too. The entire day from start to finish was perfect. Even the meeting point provided a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower at dawn. Transportation was very comfortable and getting some rest is encouraged by the guides. Plenty of opportunities to grab a snack or use the restroom. The whole experience was beautifully poignant and haunting. It’s a tour that everyone should experience while in France. We had fun along the way, including my sister and I sliding down the kids’ slide at the rest stop on the way back to Paris. The cost is worth the experience tenfold. I will remember this day forever! Thank you for everything!
We had a wonderful day exploring Normandy with our guide Anjali!!! She shared many stories and had a wonderful sense of humor. It was an amazing day for our entire family.
Anjali was fabulous as our tour guide! She was very knowledgeable and accommodating of my fathers mobility needs. The vegetarian options for lunch were delicious! Though I could go on at length about how moving the entire experience was, I want to specifically mention Omaha beach and the cider stop. Others tours do not make these stops. Omaha beach was the most moving part of the day for me. Touching the sand those men (and boys) walked on to fight for our freedom meant everything. Supporting the local economy and experiencing the culture was a much needed reprieve from the heaviness of the day. Also, there’s a slide at a rest stop from the second floor down. I was the first to go down on their tours… my sister the second. Will you be third?
Anjali was absolutely incredible for our tour. She set a clear itinerary right from the get go and kept us to it all day through multiple stops. We had an amazing time and she added so much commentary and imagery to the different sites we visited, it is clear that she has a passion for this. I would give more than five stars if I could
Had a wonderful time on this trip. Anjayi was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable! The sites we visited were meaningful, and she was great at giving us background and stories as we traveled to the sites and around the sites. Highly recommend this tour because of her and the team, they made the day enjoyable.
Anjali was awesome, had a fantastic time. Highly recommend
Anjali was very knowledgeable and super kind. She made the trip come alive with the history of the area. I cannot recommend touring with her enough!!
The day started out early but it was well worth it. Anjali and her co host was so knowledgeable. I knew a little bit about WWII however I can confidently say im walking away with more knowledge. The group size waa percect as well, with only myself and a married couple. This was an all day experience but again, it was worth it. 💖🖤💖🖤 They are strict on the timelines but considering Normandy is 3.5 hours away I understand. Highly recommend
We had an amazing trip to Normandy! Our hosts were knowledgeable and friendly. We would recommend this trip to anyone coming to Paris that has interest in WWII. This is one of our favorite things we did during our trip!
AnjaIi was a delight! Our day trip was filled with meaningful visits to Utah and Omaha Beaches. Anjali added depth with her knowledge of history the culture of Normandy. Added bonus a cider tearing and seafood lunch.
Knowledgeable, kind, and very considerable of my husband's age. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@#@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
We had no experience. After waiting for over 30 minutes in 40 degree weather, outside in the dark, in a random not well lit location, we finally contacted the tour operator. The other couple and the two of us kept being told by text that the driver was almost there. Then the tour operator stopped responding to us. After over another 30 minutes passed, they called and told us the tour was cancelled.
Angéline was fantastic fun & informative.💟 we had a great family day filled with history & beautiful sights thank you 😊 Happiest of Birthdays 🎉
Had a fun trip. Angeline was very informative about our trip to Normandy. Price was more than fair for alll the avtivities we got to which were the museums and thecidery we picked up a bottle. Our driver victor was great and safe. The trip was long but it’s worth the time and there really isn’t anyway around driving out to the coasts crowd size was small and easy.
Our tour guide Anjali was a total sweetheart and so knowledgeable. She took us all over Normandy and explained so much. She was able to pivot to accommodate our dietary and travel needs without missing a beat. A true professional through and through!
Fantastic tour and wonderful information provided. Angeline was a phenomenal host and made our trip all the more enjoyable!
This was an amazing experience. Very informative. Our tour guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable
Angeline is a wonderful guide and person She has a compassionate heart for the well and important preserved history . I highly recommend this outing and would love to see younger generations have an opportunity to visit . I myself didn’t understand the magnitude of the sacrifice until visiting, hopefully are hearts can preserve this memory. God Bless these Countries . Caron Roesler
Our guide Angeline was wonderful, she was professional, informative, friendly, and caring. It is humbling to visit the places so many scarified their lives for our world freedom. I would have given a 5 star but I would like more than 30 min in museum and our driver was careless and got into a wreck.
It will give an authenic history of what happened in Europe during World War Two and how Americans made a massive sacrifice to save France and the rest of Europe.
Angelina was a great guide. Explained everything. There's driver was not so great. ,.................
Great history, great views, a well rounded tour. Anjali was a very knowledgeable guide. She shared the history of Normandy with us, some facts that were not in the museums. A delightful guide.
Angelina was a very professional tour guide and very pleasant. Very clear on length of time to spend at each place. We learned a lot and we're glad we could experience Normandy.
Anjali was absolutely amazing! Very knowledgeable and very friendly. She answered every question we had. She truly loves her job ☺️
