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

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 booked a 1/2 day tour of the Omaha Beach area which included the American Cemetery, and we absolutely loved this tour. We were in Normandy for a couple of days, seeing many of the DDay sites and museums. But having a tour guide for the Omaha sector was certainly a highlight. Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable, he really loved telling the stories of the use heroes who sacrificed so much. We met up in Bayeux which was very easy - however we had about a 20 min walk from the parking lot we found, so the advice to get there in plenty of time was very helpful. The van was comfortable, and most importantly the details of the landing really brought it to life, and the reverence for the soldiers was heartfelt.
Learned so much on this tour!!

5.00Our guide was wonderful, so very knowledgeable about all the events surrounding Normandy and the D-day invasion! He explained the story at each stop, then allowed us to walk around a bit on our own. Highly recommend!
A Perfect Half-Day Normandy Tour

5.00My wife and I did the Omaha Afternoon tour with Overlord in April 2026. It was the perfect opening salvo for our time in Normandy. The afternoon slot gave us enough time to take the train in from Paris, grab lunch and walk through the Cathedral briefly before our meetup. The meeting location was centrally located and easy to find. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to go in Bayeux, so no need for a rental car or parking. Our tour guide was Remy, and he was personable, patient and very knowledgeable about D-Day and the region as a whole, while still being approachable when we had questions. His expertise and personality really made the tour a great experience. He even dropped off some of our fellow travelers directly at the train station after the tour and helped translate and facilitate their travel when their train was delayed. Over and above expectations, and we would love to go back and take the full day tour with Remy someday. The van was spacious and comfortable. The ride between locations was pleasant (no car-sickness, which I can't say for some of our other tours in the area). The histories were deep and well-fleshed-out with pictures and anecdotes from Remy. We got to see the Taps flag-folding ceremony at the American Cemetery. And to cap it off, two French Navy (?) fighters flew over while we were on the beach and tipped their wings in salute as they passed. Apparently, this is something they always do when passing the Normandy beaches. A powerful moment... and a powerful reminder of what was lost and what was gained that day. Well done, Overlord!
One of the best tours we’ve had

5.00This wasn’t one of those canned tours with a 20 year old tour guide with a memorized script. Our tour guide was engaging and very knowledgeable, We did the half day tour and learned a lot, not only about the invasion, but also the planning behind it, the key officers, and the men who went above and beyond to make it happen. This tour operator has really done his homework on background information. He wasn’t stumped by any of the questions people asked. The van was comfortable and because of the smaller group size it was a great choice. I’m giving it a 5 star rating because it deserves it.
Thank you , Thierry!

5.00We had an excellent experience on the Half-Day Overlord Excursion in Normandy. The entire tour was extremely well organized, informative, and moving. Our driver and guide, Remy, was outstanding — knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about the history. He explained everything in a way that made the events of D-Day and the Normandy invasion come alive. Thanks for a great day
Highly recommend this to start your trip in Normandy/ Bayeux

5.00This was an excellent tour and overview of D Day. Lucas did a great job of not only walking us through history and the tactical challenges but also provided a depth of knowledge and personalized stories of the soldiers,life in France during the occupation and the hero's of the historic day in all of its tragedies. We highly recommend this Tour.

5.00My parents and I took the half-day Omaha Half Day tour -- and it was a great experience! We had lucked out and were the only ones in the van -- we took the morning tour -- so it turned out to be a personal tour! Our guide, Jean DiLasser, was excellent -- he is very knowledgeable about the history of the landings and the area (he's a Normandy local) and was a wonderful resource! 100% recommend both the company and the tour, and will definitely book the other ones next time I am in Normandy.
A must do from Bayeux!

5.00What an amazing tour. Our tour guide Jack was exceptional. An absolutely surreal experience to walk on Omaha Beach and learn more about the devastation our soldiers endured. I can’t recommend this tour enough.
Fantastic Tour

5.00We had a fantastic tour with our guide Antoine. He was extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about the history and the impact on the area where he grew up. He started by learning each of our names and backgrounds. He tailored our trip based on that info. We all learned a lot, and I can’t imagine a better overview in 4 hours…OK, don’t tell his boss, but I think it was more like 5.5 hours. I highly recommend this tour. We are booked for a full day tomorrow!
