On a typical group tour, you’re often on the clock. But with a private tour, you get the time to pause, whether that’s standing longer at the Normandy American Cemetery or reflecting quietly on Omaha Beach.
Rolling pastures, apple orchards, and windswept coastlines—Normandy’s landscape is as poetic as its past is powerful. From Paris, guided day tours will take you to its most moving sites like the D-Day beaches, quiet memorials, even Mont-Saint-Michel. But if you crave something more personal, a private Normandy tour offers just that: tailored stops, a guide who breaks down history in a way that actually makes sense, and the space to reflect, ask, and connect at your own pace.


Looking for a quieter, more personalized way to experience Normandy? These small-group tours from Paris offer a more intimate and insightful way to explore WWII and WWI history.



A private tour is just for your group, while semi-private tours are limited to 8 guests, offering a similar personalized experience without booking the entire tour exclusively.
Most tours run 12 to 14 hours round trip, including travel time, guided stops at major sites, and lunch breaks.
Some tours include a 2-course lunch with local cider (like the US D-Day Beaches tour), while others offer free time to dine at local restaurants. Check your ticket details.
No. Tours are usually focused on one theme either WWII D-Day beaches (US or Canadian sector) or WWI battlefields like the Somme. Choose based on your interest.
While full customization isn’t always possible, small-group formats allow more flexibility. You can often spend more time at places like the American Cemetery or Pointe du Hoc.
Yes, but keep in mind that the day is long with some walking on uneven ground. Comfortable shoes and pacing breaks are recommended.
