Pointe du Hoc

Experience the breathtaking beauty and deep historical importance of Pointe du Hoc, a critical World War II D-Day landing site. Situated between Utah and Omaha Beaches, its steep cliffs offer stunning views and a glimpse into a crucial historical episode. Pointe du Hoc, once a German defense stronghold, was central to a remarkable mission. On June 6, 1944, U.S. Army Rangers heroically scaled these 100-foot cliffs, facing intense enemy fire to neutralize artillery threatening Allied forces. Their bravery and tactical brilliance were crucial to the Normandy invasion's success. Presently, Pointe du Hoc is a solemn homage to their courage, its terrain scarred by bomb craters and ruined bunkers. A moving monument commemorates the Rangers' unyielding spirit.

  • Amazing place-bad tour company.

    We had an unexpected stop in Le Havre. Wanted to see D-Day sites. No bus tours available. Booked this private tour for $1632. A bus spot opened up for $700 but we kept private tour to get a guide to give us a more in depth historical view than a bus guide would give. That did not happen. We were promised a comfortable car with an expert English speaking guide. We had a basic car and were cramped in the back seat. The driver clearly did not know where he was going. The guide read history to us from his tablet. He was from a country that had no history with WWII or France. He has only lived in France a few years. He was nice enough but he had no passion or expertise. We went to the same 3 sites the bus tour goes. He gave us 40 minutes at the American cemetery. That would cut our tour short 2 hours of posted time. We insisted on staying longer and were still shorted an hour of paid tour time. Loved the D Day sites and the significance to so many men and countries. But very disappointed in tour company.

  • A respectful place

    This Normandy D-Day experience isn't your typical fun vacation, obviously. It's a serious and important journey into history and remembrance. But doing it with friends made it a truly meaningful and shared experience.

  • First time visit.

    Visiting Normandy for the D-Day historical tour was an unforgettable experience. Walking along the beaches and visiting the memorials gave me a deep sense of the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought here. The atmosphere is both somber and inspiring, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in history. I’ve captured some of my favorite moments in pictures, which I’ll be sharing soon. These images are a small way to honor the past and share the beauty and significance of this historic place.

    The Normandy countryside, with its picturesque villages and rolling hills, was breathtakingly beautiful. Walking on the beaches of Omahs and Utah, where Allied forcz landed on D-Day, was a humbling reminder of the sacrifice made during WWll, As a history lover I will recommend this tour because they have knowledgeable guides who can give you lots of value.

    Wonderful tour. Recommend a private tour for max flexibility and speed if coming from cruise ship in LeHavre. Our guide Zoe was really knowledgeable about the detailed history. The cemetery is humbling and awe inspiring. So glad to see that it is so well maintained. Point de hauc was our favorite with the shell craters, bunkers and gun batteries. Understand they may be closing entry to the bunkers soon from fear of cliff erosion. Would take at least a couple of days to see everything like St Mary Eglise, Utah and the other beaches. But this was a great day tour that gets you the highlights.

  • Great

    This was a bucket list trip for my brother Mart. Wanna was excellent. She was an amazing tour guide who not only was a wealth of information but made sure we reached every location with plenty of time to enjoy. I would strongly recommend her. On a busy holiday weekend we never could have done it without her!

    The Normandy cemetery was by far the most impressive. Also seeing Omaha Beach and the monuments there were memorable.

    The tour was delayed a couple times via email and all of us were ready to go a half an hour later than what was originally stated. It said we would leave at 8:30. Then the TOURS operator changed it to 9 o’clock. We were assured that he would meet us in the terminal. However, in the end he was not allowed beyond the gates of the terminal parking lot so I had to use my $10 a day Verizon account to call first Viator and then the driver to work out the situation. I was able to find him by walking out to the gate outside of the terminal when he and Dimitri finally made it at 9:02. The time that they picked us up was fine since they had already notified us of that change. We left at 9:02. Our ship, The regal Princess was to depart at 7:30 PM but due to getting a late start our visits at each destination were shortened and we were extremely rushed. We feel Pablo the guide and Dimitri. The driver did an excellent job with what they had. However, the fact that we didn’t have to return at five as they were trying to do to keep it within the time parameter set by Viator it made the visit to each place rushed Our ship was off board at 8 and back onboard by 7:30pm. However the rush was to leave Normandy before 3 to get back by 5. We noticed other tours with headphones so they could understand what they were seeing. We didn’t even have time to visit the museum. We literally had to run through it to get to Omaha Beach and the cemetery. We stopped to see the Pegasus Bridge which really didn’t need since we didn’t have an hour to go through the museum. A 15 minute stop for pictures and going to the bathroom would’ve been fine. However, the bathroom situation was not conducive to 16 people using the facilities. All of us had to pay in some form or another in order to use the bathroom. We realize that’s typical in Europe, but it’s frustrating. To use the restroom at the museum, we either had to purchase something in the gift shop or we had to purchase an entrance to the museum to use the facility. The van that we used was very nice however, two people out of the 16 had to ride backwards, which makes it kind of unfair for those two people sitting in those backwards seats Pablo was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed his descriptions and information When we got to Omaha and it was time to have some lunch, he made sure that the waiters and the waitresses served us very quickly so we could be out within 30 minutes However, the people who went to the other restaurant since there are only two, did not have any success in ordering. All in all, I give it a rating three because we did get to the sites that we’re explained in the brochure and we were picked up on time and rushed, but got back to the ship before it departed in plenty of time. Again, Pablo was an excellent tour guide because he didn’t know everything about the sites where we went, but he also had to commute from Paris so that was a pretty extensive commute.
