From May 1st 2022, we are committed to providing a tour service all-year-round, however ultimately Covid's evolution will determine whether or not we operate a fully-restored, scheduled service next year in 2023 (bookable via the reservation system within our site), or whether we are obliged to continue to operate a more flexible on-demand 2023 service via email or last-minute phone reservation.
We thank you for your understanding during these difficult times.
The plaque reads: "Right here was the terminal (disembarkation point) of Mulberry Harbour B (*after D-Day it was renamed: 'Port Winston'), running 900m in length (actually the full breadth of the harbour was 5 miles wide!), which was used to guide 220,000 men, and 40,000 vehicles which, in 4 months, had landed here on this quay where the LSTs (Landing Ship Tank - large transporters) docked. *Note: There was also an American Mulberry Harbour A, erected at Vierville-sur-Mer, but which was utterly and tragically destroyed amidst Normandy's worst storm in 40 years which raged from June 19 - 22nd, 1944

→ So, whether it be guided Group Tour of one or all of the Allied Landing Beaches or a Group Shuttle to Le Mont Saint-Michel via The Overlord Museum or Colleville US Cemetery, or its stunning new {June 2019} Visitor Centre; perhaps a Private Shuttle with an early morning pick-up from a Paris hotel or Paris CDG Airport, followed by a trip up the Cheese & Calvados Cidre Routes in Le Pays d’Auge enroute to Normandy - no matter how simple or complex your itinerary - we have still got you covered!
Note: In late Dec 2019, *one family's experience of our flagship Overlord-Neptune customized Private Tour - spread over 3 days - included all of the aforementioned (*click link for the Trip Advisor review).
A full-day Private / Group D-Day Tour of the American landing zones and D-Day Beaches typically includes:
{Click to view a detailed intearactive map of The American Beaches D-Day Private Tour circuit, which is almost identical to the American Beaches D-Day Group Tour: 09:45 to 17:45. 'Early-Bird' 08:45 departure option on Private Tours only. Caen pick-up/drop off + €70). *Check in 10 mins prior to departure}.
Our flexible pick-up locations & Paris train times
(*check-in 10 mins prior to departure):
1. Bayeux Hotel departure 09:45 / 08:45 'Early-Bird' / later start & finish times available (for Caen pick-up/drop-off option add + €70.00 supplement);
2. Place de Québec departure 09:45 / 08:45 / or later on Private Tours and 09:25 on Group Tours (The square is very near The Bayeux Tourist Office / access also from opposite Post Office on Rue Larcher / convenient cash dispenser at Post Office. NB: They no longer exchange foreign currency);
3. Bayeux Train Station latest departure 09:45 directly in front of the station by the bus bays / taxi rank (we will be there at 09:30 sharp), arriving from Paris St. Lazare station on the 06:58 train for a Bayeux 09:18 arrival - returning to Paris on the 18:35 service.
Paris client option #1: Bayeux Station drop-off between 17:45 and 18:00 OR Paris client option #2: Central Bayeux drop-off, where clients would have 90 minutes to see the stunning Cathedral & visit old Bayeux (1-hr max recommended), then grab a sandwich and juice at the bakers' before strolling back to the station for the last train at 20:09 - a 12-minute walk from Place de Québec, central Bayeux. A nearby supermarket sandwich stop for liquids and food is easily added by us prior to drop-off too...}.
*2022/3 All Tours & Services: International flights, as well as our Normandy cruise ship ports of: Cherbourg/Honfleur/St. Malo/Le Havre, will hopefully be restored too.
Meanwhile please stay safe & well!
We look forward to welcoming you on board very soon...
