5.00Noemie is a phenomenal guide! She provided historical context and visuals to make everything come alive. Utah & Omaha beaches with the bunkers, defense lines & positions of the allies were unbelievable. We visited a museum & ended at the Normandy American Cemetery when the flag was lowered and taps were played. There are no words to describe the feeling - except our deep gratitude to all service members! Our guide was flexible & so easy to be with. We highly recommend a private tour!

5.00The tour was wonderful, very complete, and the guide also made the effort to speak to us in Spanish, which we greatly appreciated. She also took us to the German cemetery, which was not originally included in the itinerary, because we were very interested in seeing it. She was delightful at all times, especially when she kindly offered to take family photos for us. We had a wonderful day — a totally recommendable experience.
Highly recommend this tour!

5.00Excellent Tour! Our guide Charles was extremely knowledgeable and gracious. He related numerous anecdotes from D-Day veterans whom he had encountered during previous D-Day anniversary commemorations. I have read numerous D-Day history books, Charles added many things about the landings that I was not aware of.
Wonderful, Personalized Experience

5.00Visiting the D-Day area was very important to us while in France. We were only able to do a day trip. From the beginning Bayeux Shuttle was fantastic to work with. Lucie helped me set up a 1/2 day private tour that corresponded with when our train arrived into Bayeux. Our tour guide, Mathieu, was amazing. We visited Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery, Longes Sur-Mer battery, and with a few minutes left before our train departed he brought us by the Cathedral in Bayeux and we walked through the Christmas market. Mathieu was extremely knowledgeable and the tour was super informative. We are so thankful for this experience and would highly recommend Bayeux Shuttle!
Great Tour with Pierre-Alexandre. Highly Recommend!

5.00Pierre-Alexandre was our tour guide. Pierre picked us up at the train station exactly on time. Since this was an all-day private tour, Pierre asked me if I had any special requests. I told him my father was a bombarder on a B-17 bomber and dropped bombs on Normandy on D Day in 1944. Pierre was immensely knowledgable on the events during the allied victory against the Nazi army during the war and the details of the fierce fighting men. My father left me the handwritten flight records of every mission he flow and the target locations. I gave Pierre a copy of those records since he was such an exceptional guide. I highly recommend this tour and especially Pierre. Ask for him when you book. You won't be disappointed!
The go-to historian for D-Day is Charles!

5.00I cannot imagine a better guide to Normandy than Charles. He has obviously immersed himself in the history of Operation Overlord for years. His face lit up when he related all the stories of that period in history. His passion was contagious. My friends and I were enthralled with this anecdotal account of what occurred on that 60 mile stretch of beach. I admire Charles' interest in keeping this history alive for everyone.
Amazing private D-Day Tour

5.00This was an amazing private experience. We spent the whole day with Pierre and he was so knowledgeable & pivoted the tour as needed based on a massive rain storm so we were inside when we needed to be but also perfectly timed the American Cemetery and Utah & Omaha beaches. Would highly recommend & if you can get Pierre even better!
Amazing way to experience the key sites from D-Day.
