★★★★★Viator review
Very Informative & Well Done
Nicholas_R, October 2026
We booked the 8 1/2 hour tour which sounds like a long time period, but was perfectly planned with time scheduled to enjoy lunch and do a bit of touring in the museum. We learned so much!! Our guide was so informative and very well spoken. Saw two different beaches, Omaha and Utah, as well as the American Cemetery with its beautiful gardens and Memorial Wall. Very somber but very moving. A heartbreaking reminder of the courage, sacrifice and bravery that changed the world forever. Lest we forget.

A Sad Day in Human Existence
ebsanchez, October 2026
It was a blistery autumn morning when we arrived at Omaha Beach. It was raining and a cold wind was blowing. I was glad I had a thick, waterproof coat. Umbrellas don't work too well due to the wind. Our guide, Charles, was terrific. He was extremely knowledgeable regarding the landings on these murderous beaches, the fortifications that had been put in place and the sequence of events. The American Cementary was impressive. All these white marble crosses looking west to the sea. Sainte Mere Eglise was our stop for lunch. Utah Beach was the last stop before turning back to Bayeux. it is well worth to take this tour. It gives you and understanding of what the human race is capable of.
