    This was an extremely well-organized tour that visited Pointe du Hoc (where the Rangers made the initial landing), Omaha beach, and the American Cemetery. Our guide, Theo, was very personable and knowledgeable; he really brought the day alive, and was even able to share memories from his great-grandmother, who at the time was 14 years old and living just a few miles away. You may have seen the movies and read the books, but you cannot begin to understand the immensity of D-Day and the experiences and sacrifices of those who fought there without visiting. I wish we had been able to take a longer tour, but if you are coming from Paris on a day trip (like we were) this is the only option.

    Memorable experience. Always wanted to pay my respects to those who gave their lives. Very touching to hear the stories and see where the battle took place. Such courage and sacrifice. We owe them all a great debt of gratitude. Our guide was so informative. Answered all of our questions. He was from Normandy and was also able to tell us about the town and French lifestyle. For only a half day tour they really provided a wealth of information. Strongly recommend without hesitation. Kudos to our guide (sorry, I don't remember his name. Glasses and beard from Normandy :-) )

    Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide whose name I cannot recall at the moment. He touched on the major events of D-Day which is just what we wanted. Would highly recommend this tour group!!

    What an OUTSTANDING experience! Oliver brought June 6, 1944 to life and was very knowledgeable! He was very engaging and answered any questions we had. He had many stories of individual heroism and you could tell it meant something to him! I strongly encourage you to use Overlord Tours if you visit Normandy!

    Omaha Beach

    Here we will see many WN’s - (wiederstandnest- meaning German weapons strong point emplacements) from Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes to Vierville.We will visit some of these strong points, which were the better-defended German Positions along Omaha. We will stop at WN 62 and WN 65 in Fox Green and Easy Red sectors of the American landing, and WN 73 in Dog Green at Vierville. This beach assault was a difficult assignment, given to US V Corps (General Gerow) whose Force O was made up of the 1st Infantry Division, 29th Infantry Division, the Rangers and several attached Units.

    Pointe du Hoc

    Located on a cliff 8 miles west of the Cemetery, this monument was created by France to honour elements of the 2nd Rangers Battalion under the command of LTC James E. RUDDER which scaled the 100-foot cliff. Admiral Hall’s Intelligence officer remarked: "It can’t be done. Three old women with brooms could stop the Rangers scaling that cliff!". RUDDER replied to General BRADLEY: "Sir, my Rangers can do the job for you".
