What are people saying about Bayeux

Very good, with caveats
Suffice it to say that it was 104 degrees the day we took this tour and we're in our 70's - so it was very hard. Of course, the weather is not the guide's fault. Michael was very good, friendly and spoke good English as he gave us some history of MSM on the way. The van was OK, but the AC wasn't as good as some vans and, of course, those stuck in the third seat can't see as well. Nonetheless, there were 8 of us on the tour, including one lady who walked with a cane and immediately realized she wasn't cut out for the hike up the hill to the abbey. I'm glad we chose this tour instead of trying to tour the abbey ourselves because there is so much to see and learn that it would have been impossible without a guide. Michael seemed to know all the facts and was patient and encouraging of us as we climbed the 300 steps. I was sorry, though, that we only had one hour to eat lunch and visit any shops in town after the tour. Then we had to hurry back to the shuttle stop (1/4 mile, no shade, full heat) and wait in the long line (30 min.) to return to our van in the parking lot. The drive back to Bayeux was a bit hair-raising. I couldn't see the speedometer, but we were definitely passing every car on the road. As a result, we got back 30 minutes early, feeling like we could have used that 30 minutes to look around the shops in MSM a little more. Nevertheless, it was a good tour. Just be aware that you must be in good shape to do it.

Humbling experience
This was a lovely and very humbling experience. Helen our guide is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the topic. We had our tour during a massive heat wave with 30+ degree weather and Helen made sure we were doing okay and stopped for water and drinks and even provided us with umbrellas. I would recommend this tour

Very well done. William...
Very well done. William was very knowledgeable, friendly, and receptive to questions. You can tell he was very excited about the D-Day operation and Operation OverLord in total. It was great to have William help me complete one of my bucket list items!

This is a must experience for any Band of Brothers fan. Traces the footsteps of Major Winters & the men of Easy
Highly recommended. Very professional, authentic and knowledgeable. Our guide Paul was a wealth of genuine, accurate information about many aspects and events of the war, and in the Normandy area in particular. We visited several of the historic - and emotionally moving - sites, and spent informative, quality time at each one. You don’t need to be a “fan” of the Band of Brothers series to appreciate and enjoy this tour, but if you are, you will absolutely appreciate it that much more! We will do this very same tour again next year when we return to the area.
