Full-Day Private Tour Omaha Beach and Bayeux from Cherbourg

This tour will allow you to visit two historical landmarks of Normandy, Omaha Beach, and Bayeux. Your driver-guide will take you to the best locations and you will have plenty of time to explore Bayeux without feeling rushed. This tour is perfect for those who want to diversify their visit and get a little taste of both medieval history and WWII history.

Omaha Beach was part of the invasion area assigned to the U.S. First Army, under Lieutenant General Omar Bradley. The assault sectors at Omaha were code-named (from west to east) Charlie, Dog (consisting of Green, White, and Red sections), Easy (Green and Red sections), and Fox (Green and Red sections). We will have one or two stops on Omaha Beach, at either Vierville, St Laurent and/or Colleville.

This World War II cemetery in France contains the graves of nearly 9400 war dead, and nearly 1600 names on the Walls of the Missing. This tour makes extra time for you to be able to explore the Visitor's Center.

Capital of the Bessin area, Bayeux has deep historic roots stretching back to Roman times, although what you see only goes back as far William the Conqueror’s reign – the Duke of Normandy, also King of England by this time, was even present at the cathedral’s consecration in 1077. Enjoy free time in Bayeux, stroll around and in the cathedral, treat yourself to a lovely lunch.

Visit the Bayeux Tapestry (audio-guide with an extensive presentation by your guide beforehand). The Bayeux Tapestry is one of the world’s most famous pieces of medieval art. It is 70 metres long, and chronicles the legendary tale of the Norman conquest of England, when William the Conqueror invaded and defeated King Harold Godwinson. Entry tickets included.

After the Bayeux Tapestry, let us take you back to Cherbourg, expect a 60 to 70 minutes drive.
