Half Day Tour
About This Tour
For visitors with limited time, or those seeking a first introduction to the Normandy battlefields, our half-day tour delivers a meaningful and moving experience in four hours. We focus on the heart of the American sector, Omaha Beach and the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, with expert guided commentary throughout. Standing on the beach looking up at the bluffs, and then walking among the 9,387 white marble crosses and Stars of David above, is an experience that stays with visitors long after they leave Normandy.
