Mobile ticket

Take a guided day trip from Paris to explore Normandy’s historic D-Day sites.

Start at Utah Beach, where American troops first landed, and learn about the strategic planning behind Operation Overlord. Walk along the battle-scarred coastline and hear stories of the soldiers who helped shape history.

Enjoy a pre-arranged Norman-style lunch in a charming port town before heading to Pointe du Hoc. Here, U.S. Army Rangers bravely scaled towering cliffs to capture a key German stronghold. The site remains much as it was, with bomb craters and bunkers overlooking the English Channel.

Next, visit Omaha Beach, where you'll have time to walk along the shore and reflect on one of the war’s fiercest battles.

The day ends at the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, where nearly 10,000 soldiers are laid to rest. Stroll through the peaceful grounds and take in the powerful tribute to their sacrifice.

This immersive tour offers a moving and unforgettable look at the events of D-Day.

What To Expect

Musee du Debarquement Utah Beach

You’ll join your expert guide in Paris aboard a comfortable, private coach. On the way to Normandy, learn the details of the Allied preparations for D-Day, the largest amphibious assault in history. Your guide, a fluent English-speaker, will stay with you throughout the tour to tell the story of the operation and answer questions from history buffs and curious minds. On Utah Beach, your first stop, the Allies quickly defeated the German forces. You’ll visit an extraordinary D-Day museum housed in an old German bunker on the landing beach itself. The collection here brings home both the scale and the personal sacrifice involved in the operation, with an original B-26 airplane on display along with collections of soldiers’ letters home.

Utah Beach

Utah Beach was the westernmost landing site on D-Day and played a crucial role in the success of the Allied invasion. Unlike Omaha Beach, the landings here were met with lighter resistance, allowing troops to move inland more quickly and secure vital strategic positions. Standing on Utah Beach today, with its vast stretch of sand and open coastline, gives a powerful sense of the scale of the operation and the courage of the soldiers who fought there. The site remains a deeply significant place to reflect on the challenges of D-Day and the determination that led to the liberation of Europe.

Fantastic day trip to Normandy to the landing beaches of the 2nd century. World War I. The day tour from City Wonders was perfectly organized and our guide Ash did an absolutely great job. His remarks were as instructive as they were informative and entertaining.

Ash was an excellent tour guide from beginning to end! The tour was an all day extravaganza and there were many people to keep track of. Ash’s knowledge about the history was great. There is SO MUCH information and I’m glad he was able to hit the highlights. The bus was comfortable and the stops to break up the long parts is nice to get out and stretch. I would recommend this tour!
A day well spent

Excellent tour! Our tour guide, Ash, was very informative, friendly, and funny. He was definitely a 10/10! The structure of the tour was also great with a good balance of rich/cool stops and information with driving/rests/food. It was a lot of driving, but Ash's commentary made it super painless and engaging. All and all, would definitely recommend!
Great experience

As a big WW2 historian this tour was amazing! Ash our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative throughout the whole trip. He gave us detailed information on every attraction including minor details that most wouldn’t think about. He was interactive with the group and got us involved with his lectures which kept everyone engaged the whole time. The tour timelines were great the only criticism I have is to add St. Mere Eglise and the airborne museum to cover all aspects of the operation. Besides that I highly recommend this tour and Ash to get the full experience and knowledge of Dday.
