Our first stop will be at the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, a poignant tribute to the Allied soldiers who lost their lives. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to pay your respects and learn more about the significance of this solemn site. Next, we’ll head to Omaha Beach, where you’ll walk along the sands that witnessed one of the most difficult assaults of D-Day. Your guide will recount the heroic efforts and sacrifices made by American forces during the landing. From Omaha Beach, we’ll continue to Pointe du Hoc, a cliff-top location that was a strategic objective for the U.S. Army Rangers on D-Day. Our journey will then take us to the charming town of Sainte-Mère-Église, famous for the story of paratrooper John Steele, whose parachute became entangled in the church steeple during the airborne assault.

5.00Such an informative, meaningful, unforgettable experience. Norman had tremendous knowledge and we learned more than we ever could have predicted! Norman was funny, kind, brilliant and we would highly recommend this tour! We traveled as myself and husband (53) and our daughter (23). Everyone was blown away! Thank you Norman!
Excellent Trip-worth the money!

5.00Norman was our guide and Audrey was our driver! They were incredibly knowledgeable, provided great suggestions for lunch, and the drive was incredibly comfortable. I would recommend booking with them 100x over a large bus tour. I walked away with so much new information, thank you so much!
Great Day in Normandy

5.00We did the Omaha and Gold beach tour. Our experience was amazing. Learning about the D-day was informational. Our tour guide Norman was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and communicated well in English. We would highly recommend Noresta tours.
Great tour for families.

5.00Excellent tour and just the right pace We have two teenagers so holding their attention is sometimes difficult but Peter did a great job of keeping things interesting. He suggested going to the American Cemetery first thing in the morning which was so nice as it was very serene. Also, Peter had zero accent which made it nice for the boys to fully understand.
Must-see

Many thanks for this visit with Noresta exceptional transports and its professional drivers who know how to bring us back to the history of Normandy. We had a very good day.

5.00The best tour I’ve ever been in. The transportation was impecable as was our drive Sebastien, our tour guide Peter was super knowledgeable and so so so nice. We learned about things we would’ve never if it hadn’t been for them. Would rebook 100 more times if I could.
Don’t hesitate to book this!

5.00Peter was an amazing guide. He is full of knowledge and lesser known facts. The pace of the tour was perfect, not too fast, not too slow. Peter times everything perfectly. Having a private driver and private tour made it so much better, I highly recommend this tour with Peter (and Sebastien as driver).
Great Tour!

5.00So glad we did this! Peter, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable and patient. He truly knows the hidden stories — like the actual landing craft he showed us. These were made from PLYWOOD, people!! We knew the basic outline of D-Day but he filled in with some GREAT stories about the men who fought there. This is the stuff that we will always remember. Topped it all off with Taps at the American Cemetery, which brought tears to our eyes! Thank you Peter! It’s a day we will always remember.
A beautiful day with your family

5.00This is the second time I have called Noresta to discover the landing beaches and it is always a great pleasure and head full of beautiful memories that I come back from these days. I have total confidence in them, both on the comfort of the vehicle and the driving as well as on the quality of the comments. This time it was with family that we had an incredible time, Norman was able to adapt his speech to all the generations present. A big Bravo and a big thank you!
