Utah beach D-Day guided tours

Private D-Day tour from Bayeux, Paris or Sainte Mère Église

Bayeux Sightseeing Tours can show you the ‘highlights” of D-Day, or whatever you want to see, and all possible in one day. This is a tour for people who do not want to share the vehicle with others or have specific interests and sites they want to visit. If you have children under 8 yo, this tour is suitable for you. Others will NOT be able to join this tour too. Groups up to a maximum of 8 people per vehicle! Bayeux Sightseeing Tours deliberately keeps her groups small for maximum personal contact and to have enough time to show you everything we promise. This way we will also be able to answer all your questions. If your party exceeds 8, no problem. Just mail us and ask for the possibilities.  If your interest is Band of Brothers or Airborne in general, this will be an excellent choice too. Even the biggest history buff will like this D-Day tour!
