What To Expect
Pointe du Hoc
On the morning of June 6, 1944, U.S. Army Rangers were given what many considered a suicide mission: scale a 30 – meter cliff face, under enemy fire, and destroy a German gun battery threatening both Omaha and Utah Beach. They made it. Today, Pointe du Hoc remains almost exactly as the Rangers left it. Shell craters scar the earth. Concrete bunkers sit split open by Allied bombardment. Gun locations still point toward the Channel. It is one of the most preserved D-Day sites in Normandy — and one of the most visceral.
Omaha Beach
Omaha was the bloodiest of the five D-Day landing beaches. American forces from the 1st and 29th Infantry Divisions faced heavily fortified German positions on the bluffs above — and paid an enormous price. Today the beach is wide, quiet, and edged by dunes. Standing here, looking out to sea, it's almost impossible to reconcile the stillness with what took place. That contrast — between the peace of the place now and the violence of that morning — is what makes Omaha unlike anywhere else. Your driver will give you time to walk, reflect, and take in the scale of it.

5.00Lise and Teddy were extremely accommodating throughout our entire day together. We were able to spend adequate time at each location. Lise clearly knew her facts, and provided more details whenever requested. We would highly recommend this excursion to any other interested parties. One detail, which was not at all Lise’s fault… my sister is somewhat hard of hearing at struggled at times to hear the commentary while the car was in motion. She would have benefited from some form of amplification… possibly a microphone for Lise. Overall, this was still a very professional experience.
