Omaha Afternoon Half Day Tour to Visit the Landing Areas at Omaha Beach

My father and I took a trip to Normandy, which was very special as his father died in France serving in World War II. 
 We were very pleased to have discovered OverlordTour and for our guide, Louis Boubat! Louis guided us through the events of D Day on Omaha Beach, Point Du Hoc and the American Cemetery at Colleville. He was animated in explaining the difficulties of the allied forces in landing and the strategies used both by the Germans and the Allied Forces. Louis was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic in guiding us on our tour and we would recommend him unreservedly.

I cannot say enough about how special this tour and our guide was in September! My 85 year old father had long had a visit to Omaha beach on his bucket list, and he pushed himself to travel from Virginia to visit us (in Ireland) and then get to Omaha beach in Normandy. He came well prepared with stories from families and friends- and even maps of the landing sites. Our half-day tour was not only informative. The passion and knowledge that our guide Louis truly made this an unforgettable experience. We will remain thankful for such a special a tour and a memory for both my father and my family. Thanks Overlord— 5 stars from us!

Our tour of Omaha Beach with Rémy was absolutely incredible — truly a tour we didn’t know we needed. Rémy was extremely thorough, unbelievably knowledgeable, and so deeply passionate about the history of the Normandy invasion. We learned so much more than we ever realized there was to know. What really set this tour apart was Rémy’s storytelling. At each stop, while other groups gave quick overviews, Rémy brought the history to life by showing us actual photos that tied directly to the stories he was sharing. It made everything feel real and personal in a way that’s hard to describe. He’s a natural storyteller with a genuine love for what he does, and it shows in every moment. If you’re visiting Normandy — highly, highly, highly recommend this tour. It’s an experience you’ll never forget.

We did the half day tour with Jacques, arriving from Paris on the train in the morning and going back to Paris in the evening. I had been to Normandy 3 times before, but the half day tour with Jacques was by far the best experience. His English is perfect, his command of the history and stories of the events which transpired in Normandy during and after the invasion were impressive and engaging. Our entire group departed for Paris feeling enriched and enlightened by the experience. Do not hesitate to book this tour.

This is a highly recommended tour. A must visit if you're in France. Overlord Tours was quick to response when booking and I highly recommend our guide, Remy. He's so knowledgeable and a really good storyteller. You can feel his passion and emotions from the way he talks about the different places that he took us to. An added bonus was a flyover of a C130 that Remy said sometimes flies over the five DDay beaches. Make sure to book your tour with Overlord Tours and ask for Remy as your guide. You won't regret it!

Guillaume gave us such a meaningful tour of Normandy. I learned so much and appreciated his vast knowledge, kind and thoughtful demeanor, and personal passion for all that happened on D-Day. We vacationed in Paris for a week, and took a day to do this tour. It ended up being my favorite part of my whole trip. Highly recommend Guillaume. He is incredibly knowledgeable and intelligent. The pace of the tour was very easy and manageable.

This is a half day trip to Omaha Beach, the American cemetery and Pointe du Hoc. The tour provided a brief but excellent overview of the Normandy invasion. And although we saw only three of the many important places connected to the Normandy invasion and campaign, our excellent guide, Louic, filled the driving time with compelling stories and expertly answered our many questions. Then at each site, he gave us excellent introduction to what we would be seeing. Louic was friendly, patient with our many questions and an expert driver. A very worthy tour for this truly important, educational and sobering experience.

There were four of us on the afternoon Overlord tour of Omaha Beach and Pont Hoc. We were in a small van which was very comfortable. Our guide was a young man whose grandparents assisted with the landing, making the tour feel particularly real and personal. We learned a great deal and all of our questions were answered. The town of Bayeaux is a treasure and worth spending some time in. The Normandy landings are such an important piece of our shared history, and the Overlord Tour was very well done.

Very moving Very very informative Our guide Jack was superb Meant a lot to me as my father was in WW2 Our guides maps illustrations added much to the day

Remy was a consummate professional. Friendly, engaged, passionate, knowledgeable, respectful, a statesman, a gentleman and a scholar. We had a wonderful time on our afternoon tour and pictures can’t do the experience justice. You have to walk in the footsteps of the soldiers that have sacrificed for us to truly get a feel for the power of this area. Thanks Remy!
