Interesting tour of Omaha Beach and American cemetery

5.00Our guide, Louis, was a local and very knowledgeable, and patient with our questions. He spoke English well and brought a book of pictures to accompany the tour, including some of what the sites looked like at the time of the invasion. We toured the area around the 1st Infantry Monument on Omaha Beach where there are ruins of fortifications, as well as the beautiful American cemetery. Walked about one mile total with some steep but short trail sections. Recommend.
Brilliant Tour!

5.00Louis is so kind, knowledgeable, and generous. He is a great listener and answered all over our questions with incredible detail. You can tell he loves his work and is passionate about these events. The tour gave me new insight and I will be forever in awe of what happened here and the men who gave their lives- not only in the United States, but from those around the world. I have a newfound appreciation for the Norman people- who still live with the effects of war almost 100 years later. Such gratitude for the memories they keep alive for so many who gave their own lives. All of this came alive for me through Louis, his storytelling and knowledge, but also the traditions he holds close to his heart to remember. Absolutely would recommend to anyone going to Normandy! Thank you, Louis!
Lots of information, told with emotion.

Through anecdotes and portraits of illustrious soldiers, the 2h10 visit passed very quickly. It looked like it! And with the sun, we were very lucky. I highly recommend 🫶
