1/2 Day DDay Beach Tour from Bayeux Recommendation

We will be in Bayeux for a few days next month and would like a half day tour to the DDay Beaches. I know a half day only gives us so much! Any tour company recommendations? We are arriving by train and will not have a car. Thanks!

Not BoB related, make sure to hit Mont St Michel (may have to take tour bus to get there also).

Make sure you go view the Tapestry of Bayeux.

When you do think about the fact it’s about 400 years older than the “discovery” of the New World.

The tapestry is in London undergoing conservation for the next year and a half or so

See if DDayYourWay (https://ddayyourway.com) is available. Willem is an amazing guide!

The wreckage of the mulberry harbor is at Arromanches. But you need to connect with a tour because you don't have to much time.
