What you'll see and do
Sainte-Mere-Eglise
Discover one of the most iconic Normandy towns, a place made famous by John Steele, F/505 PIR, and other members of 82 Div., and depicted in the book and later in the movie "The longest day". It is considered to have been the very first town liberated by U.S. paratroopers on June 6, 1944, and became, by the end of the war, an American sanctuary in Normandy with over 13,000 American dead resting in its temporary cemeteries.

Utah Beach
Situated at the western end of the assault area, this sector was not included in the initial draft of the "Overlord" plan but was added later in order to facilitate the taking of a deep-water port. Despite a few problems that influenced the actual landings of the 4 US Div., Utah came to be remembered as the beach with the fewest D-Day casualties.
60 minutes here
Manoir de Brecourt
Located on the outskirts of Ste. Marie du Mont, Brecourt Manor /battery was assaulted in the morning of June 6 by elements of Easy Company under the leadership of Richard 'Dick' Winters, US paratroopers immortalized in the book & TV series 'The band of Brothers'. Revisit their actions a stone's throw away from the hedgerow that on D-Day was concealing four pieces of artillery capable to lob shells on Utah Beach.
25 minutes here
Pointe du Hoc
The 100ft tall cliffs scaled by the US Rangers on D-Day coupled with the lunar landscape shaped by hundreds of tons of bombs make this place one of the most iconic Normandy landmarks. As you will be exploring the site, its craters, and the remnants of the German fortifications, your guide will recount the planning and execution of this complicated mission entrusted to Lt. Col. Rudder and three companies of the 2nd Battalion.
60 minutes here
Omaha Beach
The landings on Omaha Beach came to be known as "the best imitation of hell" the American troops had to go through during the Second World War. As you will be traveling along the beach, your guide will purposefully stop at the 'Dog Green' sector, the backdrop for the opening scenes in 'Saving Private Ryan', where the German bunkers still remind the visitor of how the defenders managed to turn the beach into a killing zone and inflicted massive casualties on the first units coming ashore that fateful morning. (+quick lunch break)

Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer
Situated on the bluffs overlooking the 'Easy Red' sector of Omaha Beach, Normandy American Cemetery & Memorial represents one of the 14 WWII cemeteries created by the US government after the end of the conflict and, more importantly, the final resting place of over nine thousand men and women. Your guide will walk you through the history of the cemetery, and the symbolism of the different elements adorning it, and will explain the role played by the ABMC (American Battle Monuments Commission) in honoring the American dead of different conflicts, from WWI to Vietnam.

Full Day Tour of Omaha and Utah Beach with a Professional Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bayeux.
How much does Full Day Tour of Omaha and Utah Beach with a Professional Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $877 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bayeux usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Tour of Omaha and Utah Beach with a Professional Guide take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bayeux is not rushed.
Is Full Day Tour of Omaha and Utah Beach with a Professional Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Bayeux, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Tour of Omaha and Utah Beach with a Professional Guide?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Full Day Tour of Omaha and Utah Beach with a Professional Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour of Omaha and Utah Beach with a Professional Guide?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bayeux can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bayeux and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Tour of Omaha and Utah Beach with a Professional Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bayeux within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bayeux?
+
On Outty we rank every Bayeux experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Omaha and Utah beaches, Normandy American D-Day Experience - Group tour from Bayeux, Omaha Full Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bayeux?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bayeux?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
