For a day, a weekend or a short break, our private tour will drive you to an «out of time» and commemorative immersion from Omaha Beach to Utah Beach.
A full day steeped in history in the heart of Normandy's beaches
Welcome to the D-Day landing beaches in the department of Calvados in Normandy, located in the north-west of France, 4 hours' drive from Paris. On the early morning of 6th June 1944, tens of thousands of Allied soldiers landed on Normandy’s beaches: it was the greatest invasion in our history to begin the liberation of Europe from years of Nazi occupation.
Your private chauffeur will drive you to the D-Day landing beaches with a few stops which marked the Second World War, like Pointe du Hoc, where you will meet your English-speaking guide who will accompany you all day long.
From Pointe du Hoc to the famous Omaha Beach, your dedicated guide will make you discover a few other historical sites like the American Cemetery located in Colleville-sur-Mer, the German artillery battery in Longues-sur-Mer and the seaside town of Arromanches in order to learn more about the history of this period.
Your private visit of the landing beaches with a private guide
The landing beaches are freely accessible and during your day, you will discover all the history of the landing operations thanks to your English-speaking guide in order to better understand the History of the D-Day Landings in Normandy and to honor American, British forces and other allied troops.
You will do a first stop at the Pointe du Hoc, located in Cricqueville-en-Bressin which is the most important and strategic area between Omaha and Utah beaches where you will discover a fortified site with artillery battery, firing command posts, shelters and casemates.
Then, your chauffeur will drive you to Omaha Beach which is one of the « must-see » sites in commemoration of the historical date of 6th June 1944 and to the followed Battle of Normandy.
Explore the cultural and historic heritage of D-Day Landing Beaches through other unmissable stops
After your lunch in Omaha Beach or in surroundings, you will be carried to the historical and famous site of the American cemetery located in Colleville-sur-mer overlooking Omaha beach. With its nine thousand individual white crosses dedicated to American soldiers who lost their lives on D-Day events, you will be surprised by the tranquility of this historic place. Your guide will accompany you during the visit.
Then, your driver will drive you to other vestiges of the Second World War with the visit of a German battery located (in Longues-sur-Mer) which played a strategic role during the Normandy Landings on June 6th 1944. Then, you will enjoy a visit in the beach resort of Arromanches with its remains of a port which linked with the liberation of Western Europe after D-Day.
Depending on your wishes, we can recommend you other stops such as the Caen Memorial to learn more about history of the region.

« William, our driver, and Jacques, our guide did a fantastic job on our recent tour of Normandy! Jacques has been guiding since the 1980’s and had example after example of personal info, stories and pictures of sites which brought Normandy to life again. He was 4 years old and living in Caen on D-Day and has an interesting story to tell you. We had four adults and two 7 year old boys. He captivated all of us with his stories. At one point another guide passing by told her clients, “There goes the godfather of Normandy tour guides!” William was right there the whole time and did a great job as well. Highly recommend these two! »

« My Daily Driver was wonderful. Both our driver, William, and our tour guide, Jack, were amazing on our tour to Normandy from Paris. It was a very cold day and they adjusted our tour to our group’s liking. They were on time, courteous and fun. It is so convenient to have your personal car pick you up from your hotel and take you on your tour and then drop you back off at your hotel in Paris. I highly recommend this company!! »

« From the moment we were picked up by William to arriving at the museum to meet Jack, we were impressed and very happy. Not all drivers are as pleasant and we trusted William's driving and navigation immediately. Jack was truly a gift. Having him as our guide was a blessing. His insight, personal experiences as a little boy on D-Day and his background material with pictures was absolutely amazing. We know not everyone will get Jack as he is semi-retired, but if you do, embrace and learn everything you can. Truly the highlight of our entire trip to France. Merci! »

You'll travel with both an English-speaking driver and a certified World War II guide, ensuring comfort and expert insight throughout the day.
The itinerary covers major D-Day landmarks such as Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, and the remains of the artificial harbor in Arromanches. All entries are included, though most sites do not require tickets. The itinerary can also be adapted to your preferences, for example, adding an additional stop at the German battery at Longues-sur-Mer or spending more time at specific locations.
Bottled water, onboard Wi-Fi, and phone chargers are provided for your comfort.
Is a tour guide included?
Yes. A knowledgeable, English-speaking guide accompanies you throughout the day, offering expert insights and historical context at each site. Their passion and storytelling will make this Normandy beach tour from Paris truly memorable.
Can the tour be customized?
Absolutely. As a private experience, the itinerary can be fully tailored to your interests, whether you'd like to explore additional locations, spend more time at specific sites, or adjust the pace of the day.
Can we focus the itinerary on Canadian D-Day sites?
Yes, we can fully adapt the tour to focus on Canadian landing sites such as Juno Beach, the Juno Beach Centre, and the Canadian War Cemetery at Bény-sur-Mer. If you'd like, we can also combine Canadian and American sites for a broader perspective of the D-Day operations.
Will we be part of a group during the tour?
No. This is a completely private tour, just for you and your party. You won't be sharing the vehicle or the guide with any other travelers, allowing for a fully personalized and flexible experience from start to finish.
Is this tour accessible for all ages?
Yes, it is. We can adjust the schedule to match your group's pace, whether you're traveling with young children or elderly family members. Some walking is required on rocky ground, so we recommend wearing comfortable footwear.
How long is the drive from Paris to Normandy?
The drive takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours each way, depending on traffic. Your chauffeur ensures a smooth and comfortable ride in a premium Mercedes vehicle.
How far in advance should I book the tour?
We recommend booking at least 2 months in advance for spring and summer, as these are peak travel seasons. During the rest of the year, booking at least 2 weeks in advance is usually sufficient. That said, we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Feel free to contact us to check short-notice availability.
How can I book this tour?
You can submit a reservation request directly on our website by selecting your preferred date and filling out the booking form. Once we receive your request, our team will contact you to confirm availability and finalize the details. If you have any special requests or need assistance, feel free to reach out, we're happy to customize your experience and answer any questions before confirming your reservation.
Booking RequestIs it possible to combine this tour with a visit to Mont Saint-Michel?
While both destinations are located in Normandy, visiting Mont Saint-Michel and the D-Day landing beaches in the same day is not recommended due to the long distances involved, it would require over 8 hours of driving in a single day.
However, if you're interested in exploring both, we can arrange a two-day private tour with a personalized itinerary and overnight accommodation. This allows for a more relaxed experience and enough time to enjoy each site fully. Feel free to contact our team to plan a custom multi-day tour that includes Mont Saint-Michel.
« We used My Daily Driver for our day trip to Normandy in October. Our driver was lovely and the guide Jack was so knowledgeable and friendly. We had a wonderful experience. Only negative is that I did not get a confirmation email the day before the trip which left me a little concerned about whether the driver was coming. But the driver texted on the morning of pick up to announce his impending arrival so we knew everything on track. »
