D-Day Landing Tours offers One Day, Multi Day and Part Day Tours to the D-Day beaches, Airborne sites and the Battle of Normandy sites. I have been guiding clients , from veterans to 3 star generals, since 2005. You can choose from my suggested tours or I offer bespoke tours for clients with specific wishes.

I suggest that clients spend more than one day visiting the battlefields, one day tours offer overviews with too much to see and understand in one day, never really gives enough time to visit and understand all the sites , see the monuments or take in any of the museums.

If you are interested in a more specialised tour following a particular unit, battle or family footsteps . Please contact me for details

In March 2019 We decided to book( for the second time ) a last minute,one day, D Day Tour with Eric. He suggested to visit Omaha, Sword and Gold beaches with a stop to the Pegasus Museum and bridge. Straight from the start Eric impressed us with his extensive knowledge on the subject and attention to detail. Eric's passion for the topic made the tour fascinating, and as well as being packed with historical information, very easy to follow. The mid-morning tea break and delicious lunch ( best baguette sandwich ever ) were just a perfect addition to a wonderful tour.

Eric took six of us on a D-day landing tour which was well thought out following the sequence in which events happened, full of information and very enjoyable. We had a fantastic day and Eric's knowledge is unbelievable, his explanations are engaging and backed up with good photos and maps. He sorted a great lunch and was punctual and polite throughout the day - thanks Eric, you made it a memorable trip and would have no hesitation in recommending you.

Great day with Eric . Myself , my wife, 2 kids and grandad did the British sector tour. 
However , Eric tailored it to suit our needs - which was to see all we could, while keeping the kids happy - a 14 and 11 year old. He did a great job.
Eric knew his stuff - a font of knowledge . We covered Pegasus Bridge and museum , Ranville and the military cemetery, Sword beach, Juno and gold beaches . Plus he gave us a wealth of info and stories along the way. We finished off at the German Battery at Longues-sur-Mer. All in all a packed full day. Highly recommended
