This tour is ideal for those who are coming to Bayeux in the morning and wish to visit the medieval town of Bayeux before boarding a guided tour to the D-Day sites. Also to be enjoyed by those already in Bayeux of course!
Beginning at the infamous Omaha Beach, on to the American cemetery and then to Pointe du Hoc.
From the German weapons strong hold of “WN 62” with its unmistakable view of Easy and Fox sectors on Omaha Beach, and the beach exit “D1” of Vierville sur Mer, we will take you back 80 years and relive the history of our liberators.
This is a complete tour, taking you from Omaha Beach to Pointe du Hoc in a four hour tour segment. When you choose this tour, you will undoubtedly understand why Omaha is such a mystical place in the Invasion landings, and will be remembered into eternity as “Bloody Omaha” on June 6th, 1944

What To Expect
Here we will see many WN’s - (wiederstandnest- meaning German weapons strong point emplacements) from Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes to Vierville.We will visit some of these strong points, which were the better-defended German Positions along Omaha. We will stop at WN 62 and WN 65 in Fox Green and Easy Red sectors of the American landing, and WN 73 in Dog Green at Vierville. This beach assault was a difficult assignment, given to US V Corps (General Gerow) whose Force O was made up of the 1st Infantry Division, 29th Infantry Division, the Rangers and several attached Units.
This Cemetery, extends over 172.5 acres, and is one of fourteen permanent American World War II cemeteries constructed on foreign soil.It contains the remains of 9387 servicemen and women killed for our freedom. The American Cemetery of Colleville conveys an unforgettable feeling of honor, peace and serenity.

5.00We toured as a group of ten (6 adults and 4 kids) and covered Pont du Hoc, Omaha, and the American Cemetery. Theo did an amazing job of sharing just the right level of detail and balancing the adults and kids attention spans. Highly recommended!

5.00Lucas was an amazing guide! His knowledge of the area and events were top notch. He was eager to help me learn more about the Battle of the Hedges in St. Lo Normandy where my grandfather died. Outstanding trip!
Great Last Second Tour with Lucas!

5.00My other tour operator (Ophorus) cancelled my tour 2 hours before it was to begin, so with the help of my hotel, I was able to call Overlord Tours and the very kind agent was able to book me on the last seat of a tour that was to leave at the same time. Lucas was a wonderful guide. We went first to Pointe du Hoc where the weather matched that of D-Day with wind and rain. Lucas did a great job filling in the details of the story. Next stop, Omaha Beach. Lucas took us to the sand (it was close to low tide, as it was that day) and once again told us the stories to make the 300 yard dash come to life. The final stop was the American Cemetery where Lucas timed it so we arrived at 4:00 PM as they were playing Taps and lowering the flag. All in all , an amazing experience. Highly reccomend!
Knowledgeable experience

5.00Our friends and my husband and I were really looking forward to this tour as I had a father that was wounded in the battle of St Lo Our driver/guide was Jack and was amazing. He had so much knowledge of everything it was amazing. He even told me a little of the battle of St Lo when I explained about my dad being wounded there. Jack was courteous and tried to take everyone’s questions and concerns. And he had a great sense of humor. He made the trip a wonderful and enlightening experience.
Excellent tour and guide

5.00For a 1/2 day tour, it was full of excellent information, stories, and key sites for Americans visiting the Normandy D-day beaches. Remy was a superb guide and a wonderful story teller who is well-versed in the history of this event. I highly recommend this tour and Remy if you get a chance to take the tour with him.
Excellent Half Day Tour

5.00Friends had recommended this tour and we were not disappointed. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very passionate. The pacing of the presentations, time to explore on our own, and travel to various sites was well organized. The pick-up and drop-off sites worked nicely and the bus was comfortable. I must give a specific shout-out to our tour guide, Remy. Returning to the train station, we learned that due to a power outage, the return train to Paris was cancelled. No other trains were scheduled and the train station personnel only spoke French. Remy translated for us and also negotiated with an independent driver to get our party of 5 back to our hotel - 3 hours away! Fantastic service!
