The Complete Normandy Experience: 3-Day Tour

Home / Tours / The Complete Normandy Experience (3 Day)

Discover the remarkable history and beauty of Normandy during a three-day journey based in the medieval town of Bayeux.

The first two days explore the principal American, British and Canadian battlefields of D-Day. Follow the airborne landings behind Utah Beach, stand on the sands of Omaha, walk among the surviving German guns at Longues-sur-Mer and discover the stories of Gold Beach, Juno Beach and Pegasus Bridge.

On the third day, travel beyond the battlefields to Mont-Saint-Michel, one of France's most spectacular historic landmarks, and explore the medieval island village and its ancient abbey.

Day 1: American Airborne & Omaha Beach

The afternoon moves toward Pointe du Hoc and concludes at Omaha Beach and the Normandy American Cemetery.
