We booked a private tour with Bayeux Shuttles. We couldn’t be more pleased with the D-Day tour. Our guide Christian was more than a tour guide, he was a historian who knows his subject and the area. We spent a fun and informative day with Christian and can’t recommend him, and Bayeux Shuttles enough.

The full day trip with Marine was wonderful. We learned so much and were able to cover so many sites. We highly recommend it!

We were two former history teachers from the us who felt Chris gave us an unbelievable narrative of D Day and the Days after

Roma gave us the most wonderful tour. She is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions with dramatic stories. Our grandson was a sponge, taking in all the sights with Roma’s expert guidance. It is a solemn visit as well, and we were moved by the experience

Seeing with our own eyes the sites of these historic events was amazing. We didn’t expect to feel so personal about it as statistics became brothers, sons and husbands. Our guide, Fred, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful and helped us understand DDay in a new light.

Morgan was a dream. We had the best time with her and learned more than we could have imagined! She is a wealth of knowledge and a treasure for anyone who has her as a guide!

Our guide, Juliette, was young, energetic, knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Adults and children loved her. The full day trip flew by as it was so engaging and interesting. It would have been challenging to get it all accomplished without a knowledgeable guide and driver.

Visiting Utah Beach, where my father landed with the 4th division on D-Day was very special. I was happy my family and I walked where my dad started the liberation of France and Europe, 80 years ago. Morgan was an excellent guide, well informed on the history of the American landings at Utah and Omaha Beach.

We had a most excellent tour of the US D-Day Beaches and cemetery and surrounding areas of interest. Our guide, Marine, was most knowledgeable about the history of the area, the preparations for the invasion, and the battles themselves. She answered any question that was asked of her with expert knowledge. She was charming and funny, as well.

Morgane met us at the station in Bayeux. It was immediately clear she wanted us to have the best experience based on our knowledge. With her knowledge she wove a story of the battle that was steeped in fact, and connected to the people who experienced the day. Our day moved from Omaha beach to St. Marie Église to Utah beach to Angoville-au-Plain in between Morgane helped develop a Narrative that put the necessity of battle in perspective with the people in it. She gently provided a bit of perspective about the Germans and allowed us to use more than one lens to see the battle. The story of the Medics at Angoville-au-Plain was moved all four of us.
