From Bayeux, ride in an air-conditioned minivan with a small group of up to eight. Your guide takes you to Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, and the American Cemetery, adding battlefield context and personal stories. Guides such as Wally, Emma, Louis, and David have led highly praised departures.

“Our guide spoke too fast and with his accent it was very difficult to understand and enjoy. Everyone in our group felt the same. I asked him to slow down and he ignored my request. Also the tour was o e hour less than was advertised. He did not walk with us and update us nor make himself available for questions as we walked. In 20 years of using Viator, this was the most disappointing tour.”
