Overview

Our private guided tours stand out due to their personalized and private natures, offering a more intimate and tailored experience for our guests.
This exclusivity can provide a deeper connection to the history of the American Landing Beaches in Normandy, making it a unique and memorable journey for those seeking a more individualized exploration.

Let us show you the American landing beaches like Omaha and Utah Beach. Walk over the grounds where the American Rangers tried so hard to silence the big guns at Pointe du Hoc.
Let's start where the American Paratroopers touched Normandy soil as the first American troops to bring back Liberty to Europe.
And pay respect to those who fought for our Liberation, and now are buried at the Normandy American Cemetary and Memorial.

Carentan

Carentan, located inbetween UTAH Beach and OMAHA Beach, was of eminent importance. Carentan became of vital importance to link the two American landingbeaches. The battle for Carentan lasted from June 10th – June 15th. After 5 days of fierce fighting the 101st Airborne Paratroopers were kind of relieved by elements of the 2nd Armoured Division, and the 29th Infantry Division, both coming from bloody OMAHA.
