What To Expect
Following a 9am pickup at your accommodation or the local train station in Bayeux, take a seat in your air-conditioned minivan and head onward to the Normandy beaches — where so much of the violent fighting of WWII took place. First, visit the port at Arromanches — built by the British to organize the landing of the Allied troops in June 1944. Enjoy lunch in a local restaurant (own expense) and admire sweeping views over the beach. Visit the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer with your private guide and learn of the many Allied soldiers who laid down their lives in battle. Next, head to Longues-sur-Mer to see the batteries the Germans used to protect the coast from the Allies. During your 8-hour tour, travel to top sites of WWII interest including the Pointe du Hoc and Sainte-Mère-Église. Along the way, learn of the now infamous battles that took place here between the German and Allied forces. When your tour comes to an end, return in comfort to your hotel or the train station in Bayeux at approximately 6pm.

Normandy Beaches & Mont Saint-Michel

5.00What a fantastic tour- extremely informative and very moving. Igor's knowledge of everything Normandy is beyond impressive. From the D-Day battles to the geography/cuisine was amazing. As we drove to/from each site, Igor had videos playing in the car which provided additional historical details. I don't belive there was a question the 4 of asked during the entire day which Igor could not answer with great information. The next day's tour to Mont Saint-Michel was magical. Igor not only had unbelievable information, but knew every alley to avoid the crowds at Mont Saint-Michel. Finished the day at St Malo which capped the tour at a wonderful town/city, with dinner at a fantastic seafood restaurant. Need a tour- Igor is the answer!
Great tour

5.00Great tour, so much to see and would not muss it for the world! Definitely recommend this private operator, he was so knowledgeable about DDay.

5.00Our family visited Normandy specifically to see the D-Day sites as my grandfather was there in WWII with the 82nd Airborne. Igor was great at communicating before the trip, recommended a breakfast spot in Bayeux before he picked us up, then took us all over for the day. He was very knowledgeable, had so many photos and videos to go along with his information, and clearly has been doing this for a while. It was a really great day. I can't recommend it enough.

5.00Igor Rosen was a very knowledgeable guide, even though I was familiar with most of the history of D Day, seeing it with an expert in person was incredibly moving. Igor took us to many of the important sites, and gave us many in sights into the battle.

5.00Igor brought us right into the battle with his history and knowledge of WW 2. My father landed on Utah beach at 10:30 in the morning. Igor personalized that day for us. He was very revenant of the Americans who fought that day for freedom. Thank you Igor. A trip we’ll never forget. Jim Finger

5.00Our trip totally exceeded our expectations. Igor Rosen totally personalized our experience. My Uncle was a member of the 101st Airborne Division and had jumped into Normandy on D-Day. Igor took us to where his unit could have been, and included a simulated flight on the type of plane he would have jumped from. It was a one day tour, but it was incredibly well planned and we were totally pleased.

4.00Igor was very knowledgeable and professional. Could have spent more time at American Cemetery welcome center and would have liked to have gone to monument on Omaha Beach -- weather was cold and bleak -- he couldn't help that -- we still saw A LOT!!
