We're sorry, these tickets are no longer available.
Fall in with the Allies on this in-depth tour through the Normandy countryside, along the quiet, pastoral coastlines that were once the site of WWII’s most significant battle.
Based in the ancient city of Bayeux, the first city liberated by the Allies via the Normandy campaign, each day of the tour offers guided day trips into the surrounding area. Visit the Musée Airborne, the Utah Beach Museum, Mémorial de Caen and the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, alongside lesser-known monuments to heroism. Step inside a church where US medics treated both American and German soldiers, or sit side-by-side with tour companions for a communal lunch overlooking the sea.
This tour is designed for the enthusiast in search of the most authentic experience of rustic Normandy. Guests will fly into Paris, with all transportation to tour sites provided by locally licensed operators.
