Private Day Tour Omaha beach and Pointe du Hoc
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Private Tours are designed to allow you to discover the D-Day sites in optimal conditions. Each circuit is indeed preceded by a "briefing" which will allow us first of all to get to know each other, then to contextualize the events of June 6, 1944. This moment may also be an opportunity for you to express specific requests. For example linked to the story of a member of your family who fought in Normandy.
The "small group" format also allows you to adapt the pace of the visit to your own needs and desires.
If the price of admission to the museums is not included in the price, the circuits are however designed to allow you to take advantage of this opportunity and to devote approximately one hour to the visit of one of these (you benefit from the reduced rate granted to Memory Tracks).

What To Expect
After about 25 minutes drive from Bayeux, we will first position ourselves at the top of the cliff, at the eastern end of Omaha Beach. You will then discover an extraordinary view on the 6 kilometers of the beach ... There, a few meters from the first German bunkers, we will evoke the plan of attack of the German defenses by the 1st and 29th Infantry Divisions of the United States on June 6, 1944, at 06:30. After this first step, we will reach the beach, at the foot of another German Fortified Point, the "Wn62, where you will discover that unfortunately nothing went as planned...
Widerstandsnest 62
Once on the beach, a few dozen meters from the infamous "Widerstandnest 62", a formidable German fortified position, we will recall the death trap into which the first waves of American assault fell due, in particular, to the failure of preliminary bombing and the tragedy experienced by the crews of Sherman tanks "Duplex Drive" amphibious. We will also see together how, after several hours of fierce fighting, small, determined groups managed - against all odds - to turn the situation around and bring down the 15 fortified positions protecting the beach.

5.00Franck made this experience unforgettable. He teleported us to the moments of the assault by noting the differences between what had been planned and the actual implementation of the mission.

5.00Excellent tour and tour guide! So glad that we chose a guided tour and didn’t try to self-guide. Franck Gobert does an excellent job and spends time at each site explaining details about this history that are not well known. Highly recommend this tour company!
An Extraordinary Day in Normandy with Franck Gobert!

5.00We spent an incredible full day touring Normandy with Franck Gobert, and it was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip to France. Franck is not just a guide — he’s a gifted storyteller, a passionate historian, and a proud local who brings this sacred ground to life in a way that’s both educational and deeply moving. From the moment he greeted us, we knew we were in great hands. He led us through the D-Day beaches, the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, the museums, and countless important landmarks — weaving in stories, personal insights, and local perspective that made every stop unforgettable. What stood out most was Franck’s genuine connection to the region and his ability to make history feel alive. He balanced emotion with expertise perfectly — sharing details about the battles, the soldiers, and the local families who lived through the occupation and liberation. He was patient, engaging, and made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. By the end of the day, we didn’t just learn history — we felt it. If you’re planning a visit to Normandy and want an authentic, heartfelt, and truly memorable experience, Franck Gobert is the guide you want. Absolutely five stars — and we couldn’t recommend him more highly!
The best.

5.00We consider our day-long tour with Franck to be the most valuable of our experiences in France. We gained so much knowledge about the details of D-Day which we would not have gleaned by just exploring on our own. Franck is extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and kind. He was flexible and listened to our specific preferences, presenting us with multiple options along the way. He made our time in Normandy more enjoyable and meaningful.
Wonderful morning with Franck

5.00Our family of 6 had a wonderful morning tour with Franck touring Pointe du Hoc and Omaha beach! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about all of the sites and was adaptable to whatever we wanted to see, giving us multiple options throughout. For example, when he heard of our son’s interest in code-breaking and the Enigmas of WWII, he suggested a detour to a museum which had an authentic Enigma. Leading up to the tour, Franck was very responsive and helpful. We would 100% highly recommend taking one of Franck’s tours!
If you truly want to learn about the D-day invasion sites, this is the tour for you.

5.00Franck is highly educated and passionate about the events leading up to, during and following the D-Day invasion. He is native to the area and the tour was very informative. He tailored the trip to our interests and took us to a local museum run by a local collector/discoverer of WWII relics, which was unconventional but more interesting to us than typical historical museums. But most importantly, Franck is a delight with a genuinely kind and interesting personality. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Best of many we took in France.
