Private Day Tour including Normandy Landing Beaches & Battlefields from Bayeux

Private
About this activity
During the nights of June 5 and 6, 1944, more than 16,000 paratroopers landed in Normandy, in northwestern France, and began the D-Day invasion of World War Two. Soon after, British, American, French and Canadian troops landed on various beaches on the Normandy coast and engaged in heavy fighting over the following days, which eventually led to the end of the European part of WWII.

This flexible private tour from Bayeux allows you to personalize your own itinerary – see what you want for however long you want! Visit the famous landing beaches, like Utah Beach (the first beach secured by the Allies) and Omaha Beach (where some of the heaviest fighting took place, giving it the nickname Bloody Omaha). You can also visit the Airborne Museum of Saint-Mere-Eglise or the American Cemetery, on the eastern end of Omaha Beach, which commemorates the US soldiers who died in this battle. This expansive space of reflection is the final resting place of 9,387 soldiers.

Or maybe you’d prefer to see Sword Beach, where the British, along with Free French soldiers, began their invasion of Normandy and quickly moved to capture Pegasus Bridge. You can also visit the Hillman Bunker Complex, outside the village of Colleville-Montgomery; the Merville Battery Museum; or the Commonwealth Military Cemeteries, where messages and epitaphs bear testament to the lives lost during the Normandy invasion.

If you’re interested in the Canadian participation around Juno Beach, visit the Juno Beach Center and the Canadian Cemetery near the villages of Veny-sur-Mer and Reviers. You can also choose to see the 12th-century Ardenne Abbey, initially the main point of French resistance and the site where 11 Canadian prisoners of war were executed.

However you choose to customize your private tour, you are sure to have a fascinating and interesting day at the D Day sites of Normandy.

Had very knowledgeable young French woman take us from hotel to Utah and Omaha beaches, then to flag lowering ceremony at Omaha cemetery. I was looking for where my Father had landed in August 1944 so she then she then took us to the British temporary harbor at Arromanches-les-Bains while asking other guides questions to help figure out the puzzle. Did work at home that night and emailed me with what she had found. Went above and beyond. Great Day.

Anne-Sophie was our guide for the day. She was both knowledgeable and passionate about the topic. A resident of the area she had a deep knowledge and a family connection. She took time to explain each monument, let us explore, and fall in love with the area.

The Viator tour guide, Matthew, did a great job. He was extremely knowledgeable and very well prepared for all of our questions. He arrived shortly before 9 a.m. at our hotel with a van large enough for seven of us with all of our luggage. We spent almost eight hours with him and he dropped us at the train station with plenty of time to catch our train. Everyone agreed he was a very good tour guide. He was even able to find a grave at Normandy for one of our group who had a friend ask about the possibility. I would rate Matthew a TEN as the experience was wonderful.

I will have to say I would give this tour 10 stars if I could. After 30 days in Europe and 8 different tours, this tour was the BEST! What a day of history, learning and a moving experience. This tour was so worth the money that we spent. Adrain was wonderful and so knowledgeable and committed. Loved every minute of this day!

5 STARS...Philip was the perfect combination of local resident, historical guide, and pointedly direct repartee. It was refreshing to meet someone as devoted to the human condition as he was to his work. If you like engaging conversation and humor, he's the guy. Learned an incredible amount while staying entertained. Great day.
