Exclusive Private DDay Tour from Rouen
Enjoy a full day tour of the DDay Landings with a thorough visit of Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery, as well as Pointe du Hoc.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn about the 1944 Normandy battlefields. Your experienced driver-guide will provide maps and all relevant information of what happened there.
Note that we have a 2-hour drive to come from Rouen as well as the same return drive so there's a limited amount of sites that we can do, but it will be conducted in a way that will give you the full scale of the D-Day invasion.
We pick you up in Rouen at your hotel, private address, or at your Viking cruise ship.
