What’s the time now in Bayeux ? (NB: We’re on Paris CET – please click the link to find out what time it is here in Bayeux – before calling! Note: Messages can also be sent anytime via Whatsapp – it’s a free mobile-phone app).
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Group Tours – If you are a single passenger travelling on a Group Tour, kindly get in touch and we will manually add you to our passenger manifest. Thank you.
Our 2023 + 2024 Services: There is a wider selection of tours available in 2024, with different itineraries too. Kindly ensure to book the correct tour (on the correct tour page).
Availability:
2023 PRIVATE Tours & Transport Solutions will operate from April 2nd, 2023 to Oct 31st, 2023 (and throughout the winter ‘on-demand’).
2023 GROUP Tours will operate from May 1st, 2023 to Oct 31st 2023.
→ Please refer to our FAQ section for our Quality-Of-Service promise.
Payment for Services: All 2023 Group-Tour payments are processed securely via Stripe.
PayPal is also available ‘on-demand’ (via the reservation system) for all Private-Tour and/or ‘Transport-Solution‘ clients.
For last-minute bookings we can also accept cash-on-the-day (€). Just drop us a line, via text (WhatsApp is best) or email. If really late – and for GROUP tours only – try just turning up on the day and speaking to one of our guides.
Private & Group Tours from Paris by train: There is an excellent weekday Train Service from Paris St. Lazare Station to Bayeux, which stops briefly in Caen (15 minutes outside of Bayeux). We therefore pick up our Paris-based PRIVATE tour clients at Bayeux station Mon-Fri for a 09:45 tour departure, returning to the station at 17:45-18:00, in plenty of time to catch the train back to Paris.
NB: Our 2023 Mon-Fri [T5] Omaha Beach Group Tour (Incl: Colleville American Cemetery, Pointe-du-Hoc, Omaha Beach & much more…), departs central Bayeux, Place de Québec, at 13:00 – just a 12-minute stroll from Bayeux’s tiny train station – returning to the station at 18:00, in plenty of time to catch the train back to Paris. It’s a GREAT way to see medieval Bayeux (its renowned Tapestry, stunning Cathedral and/or Battle of Normandy Museum) on the morning of your special day!
**Don’t forget to check all train schedules before booking your ONTour service please**.
Note: For Bayeux sightseeing options in the morning, we recommend the earliest direct train from Paris St-Lazare to Bayeux.
*See ‘Helpful Info’ menu for train info, maps and more…
Our Cancellation Insurance: As stated in our full T&Cs (also delivered as a PDF file with your booking confirmation), we will refund payments for all cancelled services, where our Cancellation Insurance has been purchased at checkout. It’s an inexpensive addition, which we really encourage clients to add to their shopping cart, just for peace-of-mind (since standard travel insurance doesn’t cover cancelled tours!).
Luggage: Please see reservation system for guidance.
Note: On Private Tours and Transport Services a foldable wheelchair and 5-point isofix baby harness are available upon request, and on Group Tours we can provide child booster seats (for kids under 10-yrs), as per French transport regulations.
NB: These must be requested when booking – to avoid disappointment on the day. Please let us know via the ‘Special Requirements’ section in the booking form.
2023 Flash Update: The Arromanches Visitor Centre has been completely rebuilt over the past 2 years and reopens April 1st, 2023!
Newsflash (16.03.23): The Pointe-du-Hoc site has just suffered a major landslide and is partially closed to public at present. We’ll keep you updated. However, at present we’ve removed it as a viable secure tour site (until further notice).
Request: Once Private-Tour & Transport clients have reserved a tour with us, we ask that you automatically add us to WhatsApp (mobile app) and drop us a quick line just to say “hi”. The app should then be used for any last-minute changes (only).
Note: For all ongoing communications, please keep using our main email address as per normal: admin@normandyontour.com.
Thank you!
We look forward to welcoming you on board…
REVIEWS

“First off our tour guide was AMAZING, he has a real love for the history of D-Day and you can tell when he talks and tells the stories. ‘The American Beaches‘ tour to Omaha Beach & Utah Beach was amazing. We did a stop at several places during our group tour including the American Cemetery which was breathtaking. We were even lucky enough to meet a Vet at Sainte-Mère-Eglise. Just going to these places and hearing what happened those days is beyond amazing. It might have been a long day but it was so worth it”.
“My daughter, Cousin and I came to France to pay tribute to our grandfather who was among the first wave of British soldiers to storm Gold Beach. Our guide organized our D-Day Tour perfectly and had given special attention to ensure we fully understood what transpired on that fateful day. The multiple sites we were taken to would have been impossible to navigate on our own. He was very knowledgeable, competent, patient and attentive. I highly recommend this tour company”.
“Together with my 18 year-old son, we took the early train from Paris and visited The Bayeux Tapestry and The Museum of The Battle of Normandy in the morning and grabbed a quick lunch before doing the 1pm Omaha Tour (T5). We were able to visit the D-Day highlights and make our 6:30 pm train back to Paris. It was perfect for our schedule. There is so much to see, so a half-day is really highlights only. Recommend full-day Tour if you want to get into D-Day history a bit more”.
“Our guide took us out for an amazing D-Day Tour, seeing Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery and he gave a great overview as we drove through the countryside, and took care to answer all our questions. it was a powerful experience to try to imagine the war time action, and this tour was no doubt one of those times our family will always remember. History came alive. He also made an effort to engage on a personal level with the children and teens on the trip – really engaging guy. Five stars”.
