  What a great tour! Tip #1: Spend a couple of nights in a downtown Bayeux hotel. A nice small town with historical significance and great food. Being late in the season, the four of us ended up having a private tour which allowed us to tailor it toward our desires. Louis (sp) was our tour guide; the tour was fantastic based in no small part on his thoroughness, knowledge, and personality. The details he provided were thoughtful additions; the free time he allowed us in a number of locations was timely and much appreciated. Can’t say enough about how much his personal touch added to our experience. To actually stand on the beaches and battlefields, and in the towns that figured so prominently in the liberation of France and eventually all of Europe makes you that much more appreciative of what the Allies accomplished and the price they paid. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for an immersive, day-long tour of the D-Day beaches and surrounding battlefields/areas. I challenge anyone to walk away from the U.S. Cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach without being emotionally moved. Well Done!

  Highly recommend this tour. Wonderful tour guides who were extremely knowledgeable, personable and creative in their approach to our tour. Took us to all the sites we were interested in and encouraged lots of questions from the members of our tour group. It was a full day of non-stop learning and fun with our fellow travelers. Had a great group of people.

  Excellent tour guide, Louie who had a vast knowledge of the Nornamdy area. Good pace so we were not overwhelmed, but quick enough so we could see all the sites. The Band of Brothers tour was unique since we had just viewed the series. I would recomment this tour group and Louie B as a guide!

  Excellent tour. Our guide, Oliver, was very knowledgeable and well spoken. He had excellent tips for lunch. He is also an impeccable driver. The van was well maintained and comfortable. The sites were all excellent and matched our expectations.

  Incredible tour!! Suggest that you take this day 1 in Normandy so that you can determine where you would want to go for the rest of your trip. There is so much to see and do and most folks that we talked to spent 4 days in the area (so did we). The tour was 10 hours and we saw a lot!! There was not a question that our guide could not answer. He was so passionate and informative about every place that he took us to. We highly recommend this tour!

  My wife’s siblings were visiting Paris and the group wanted to visit Normandy. My father-in-law and his brother both served in WWII, the brother coming through Normandy in time to be captured during the Battle of the Bulge. So while the family did not participate in the actual landing itself, many of my wife’s family were intensely interested in the tour. 

We’re a family of nine people and so organizing a day trip from Paris to Normandy and back is, by comparison to D-Day, a minor logistical challenge. I am grateful for the Overlord Tour operators, because they walked me through all the details and logistics to set up a train to Normandy

We arrived in Bayeux by TGV (another thing that everyone wanted to try) and were met by Thierry B. Thierry is a most gracious host, and is extremely knowledgeable about the actions that took place during D-Day. Thierry asked us about grandpa and his brother, and offered to adjust some of the places we would visit to see where they had walked. 

We covered everything mentioned on the website guide: Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, the American Cemetery, Sainte-Mere-Eglise, La Fière - and what was really cool, the La Colombière Hospital. That was a story we had not heard before. Lunch was at a local restaurant and was quite good. An opportunity to taste local Normand cuisine. Overall, everyone was very happy with the tour and with Thierry. We highly recommend this tour and tour operator. 5 stars.

  Stephen led us on an incredible tour of Normandy and surrounding areas. It felt like Stephen was a scholar on the subject, effortlessly answering our questions and seamlessly adjusting our tour as light rain moved in. I want to go back and I'd request Stephen in a heartbeat. My wife and I were part of a tour of five. Stephen was attentive, asking if we wanted a bite to eat and a coffee when we got off the early morning train (yes!). Thankful for Overland Tours. A powerful trip that lives on thanks to thier reverence, knowledge, and enthusiasm for the subject. We took the early train from Paris and returned at the end of the day, arriving back in Paris around 9:30- long day, but worth it!

  I highly recommend the Band of Brothers tour. This tour exceeded my expectations. Being fairly knowledgeable regarding the activities on D-Day our guide Remy expanded that knowledge set continually throughout the day with granular detail. We were impressed not only by his knowledge but also his delivery and passion on the events of that significant day including those important days that followed. Thank you Remy for a memorable day.

  Overlord could not have been better. I began planning this trip in February 2025. I reached out by telephone and email multiple times with multiple questions. The email responses were always prompt and addressed my questions. They were also polite. When it came time to do the trip in October 2025 our guide, Ollie, promptly picked us up with a clean van and a well-planned itinerary. There are multiple itineraries, our group is from the United States so we chose Omaha Beach and Utah Beach and the band of Brothers tour. I tend to go for the bargain and candidly I did not shop around that hard but €1500 for eight people for two full days seemed pretty good. We could have gone to the various sites on our own in a rental vehicle but then we would not have had the benefit of Ollie. Ollie was an encyclopedia of information on the second world war as it related to the Normandy invasion. He knew a fair amount beyond that. He was constantly but not at all overbearing, giving us facts, context, back stories. He knew his topic extremely well, if he didn't know, he would find out. He showed us a decent lunch spot. You get the insiders version if you go with Overlord. Besides factual knowledge, he had a great personality, I very much enjoyed his Belgian French accent, he had a droll sense of humor. He also went above and beyond giving us extra help outside of the tour. We met him for drinks after the tour because even though this was a business transaction, the relationship developed into a great business transaction. I give overlord and Ollie the highest marks.

• Good tour for US D-Day sights

  Our full-day tour was both educational and fun. Guillaume was friendly and knowledgeable, and pointed out interesting facts which we had not known before. The only improvement I would ask of Overlord Tours is to update their instructions where to meet. Describing the meeting place as street side of the Villa Lara Hotel would have been easier than the walking directions provided. Once that small confusion was resolved it was very good day.
