Full description

Explore some of the most important sights in Normandy – the remains of historic Allied landings that changed the course of the Second World War. The full-day tour from Paris will take you to the German battery of Longues sur Mer, part of the German's Atlantic Wall of defense. You will also stop at the American Cemetery in Colleville, for an emotional visit, where 9,386 soldiers now rest. In 2007 a new Visitor Center was created to commemorate the operations of the D-Day Landings, and you will have time to learn more about these dramatic events. Continue to Omaha Beach, where more bloody events took place, and spend some time contemplating those moments before you break for lunch. In the early afternoon, you will see the ruins of the Arromanches’ artificial harbor, built by the Allies in less than 15 days.

Finally, continue along the coast past Gold Beach to Juno Beach, where you will get a guided tour of the remains of the Atlantic Wall, before your return to Paris.

Information included in the Get Your Guide app was completely misleading. This was not a tour in a minibus (or semi-private van as described in the reviews), but a full sized bus with more than 25 people on the tour. Additionally, the "guide" was really just a glorified baby sitter; she knew very little about the sites visited. We drove past numerous key landmarks and sites, but the "guide" had no idea and did not provide any information to the group. Lunch was in Arromanches, but when the bus arrived there, the entire town (shops, restaurants, museum) was shut down except one restaurant. The "guide" was taken completely unaware that this town shuts down in the offseason.
