  • 5Excellent

    Lucas the guide was exceptional. He had a great knowledge of the tour which he put over in a lovely manner considering he was talking about the Second World War. He was fun to spend time with and gave good answers to all questions put to him. If you do the Omaha tour you will come away knowing more than you where hoping for. Well done Lucas ten out of ten.

    This was an amazing experience. Our tour guide was extremely kind and knowledgeable about Omaha and Normandy. He was very accommodating to a family member who had a problem walking due to a foot problem. I highly recommend. Very powerful information and experience

  • 5Normandy beach tour

    Excellent tour for myself and my husband and my adult son.The gorgeous Amandine through Viator tours was absolutely fantastic. She spoke wonderful English and was very clear telling us all the important details and bringing everything to life . We were so impressed that we went ourselves to the British beach the next day to continue our experience and purely by chance met her and she continued to give us information even on her day off.! Totally recommend this tour especially if you get Amandine

About Bayeux

Bayeux is a small Norman town of medieval lanes and a Gothic cathedral, home to a famous embroidery of the Norman conquest and close to the D-Day beaches.

A strip of embroidered linen almost seventy metres long, made in the eleventh century, tells the story of the Norman conquest of England in 1066 and hangs in its own museum in town. The cathedral, whose crossing spire towers over the rooftops, was consecrated in 1077 with William the Conqueror present. Bayeux escaped bombing in 1944, so its old centre of half-timbered and stone houses along the River Aure is largely intact.

Top-ranked sights in Bayeux: Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial.
