Let us show you the American landing beaches like Omaha and Utah Beach. Walk over the grounds where the American Rangers tried so hard to silence the big guns at Pointe du Hoc. Let's start where the American Paratroopers touched Normandy soil as the first American troops to bring back Liberty to Europe. And pay respect to those who fought for our Liberation, and now are buried at the Normandy American Cemetary and Memorial.

    As one of the main objectives of the 82nd US Airborne Division, it is the first liberated village by this unit, to secure and protect the rightwing flank (as seen from the oceanside) of the landingbeaches, to enable the 4th and 90th Infantry Divisions pass through from UTAH beach, to cut off the Cotentin Peninsula, on their way to the deepsea port of Cherbourg. Visit the church where paratrooper John Steele was so unfortunate to got stuck upon the steeple, as shown in the movie “The Longest Day !” Statue of Brigadier General “Teddy” Roosevelt jr..

    1 hour

We visit the beach, explain the situation the Allied soldiers had to deal with on June 6th, 1944

  • D-Day Experience (Dead Man's Corner museum) (Pass By)

    The crossroad to be taken by the 101st AB paratroopers before they would reach Carentan. The name DMC refers to a small allied tank that was taken out by German paratroopers, who were well entrenched around the building that today houses an interesting museum. The tankcommander was killed trying to escape his tank, and was hanging over the turret for days, before the body could be recovered finally.

  • Carentan

    Carentan, located inbetween UTAH Beach and OMAHA Beach, was of eminent importance. Carentan became of vital importance to link the two American landingbeaches. The battle for Carentan lasted from June 10th – June 15th. After 5 days of fierce fighting the 101st Airborne Paratroopers were kind of relieved by elements of the 2nd Armoured Division, and the 29th Infantry Division, both coming from bloody OMAHA.

A Memorable Journey Through History with Willem

Published on Dec, 2024

Our day with Willem exploring the beaches of Normandy was nothing short of extraordinary—it far exceeded all expectations! Willem’s deep passion for World War II history, Northern France, and the Normandy region truly brought history to life in a way we never thought possible. Unlike the impersonal experience of a cruise ship bus tour, Willem’s private tour was intimate and engaging. In his personal car, he met us at the cruise terminal and then took us on a journey through the scenic back roads of Normandy, reaching locations inaccessible to larger vehicles. These locations, combined with his profound knowledge and captivating storytelling, made for an unforgettable experience. Willem has a remarkable ability to make historical events feel vivid and real. It was as if the stories we had only read about in textbooks were unfolding right in front of us. He personalized the tour to our interests, ensuring we fully appreciated the significance of each stop along the way. He even went out of his way to stop at a local pharmacy to help us get some cold medicine and helped translate for us with the locals when needed. If you're looking for an authentic, heartfelt, and incredibly informative way to explore the beaches of Normandy, Willem is the ONLY guide you need. His dedication to sharing the history and culture of this remarkable region is truly unmatched. This experience will forever be etched in our memories!

Absolutely amazing experience!

Published on Oct, 2024

Willem “Wim” was beyond fantastic! Our group was multigenerational from teens to grandparents and everyone loved him and the amazing tour / experience! There are not many guides as passionate or knowledgeable as he is! He went way beyond the basic facts and points of interest; he took us on back roads and told us all the “little stories” of the real people who lived D Day. From locals to soldiers, their stories were all so personal and intimate and just incredible. If you want a true “experience” and not some “basic tour” give Wim a call. He shared all the local haunts - excellent restaurants:pubs/bakeries and even joined us for dinner one night. He went out of his way to find us a room to rent when our rental car broke down and left us hotel-less for the night. Honestly cannot say enough good things about him or his tour. We liked it so much, we ended up doing a second day! Have traveled frequently and taken a lot of different tours and Wim has been our favorite hands down! Even recommended him to our kids’ orthodontist when we got back and he canceled his original tour for his family to go with Wim and had the same fantastic experience. Thanks for taking such great care of our family Willem!!
