Thank you very much!

There is an excellent Airborne museum at St. Mere Eglise. Unfortunately most tours stop so briefly, there’s hardly any time for museums. I would research them carefully. If you want more freedom to explore at your pace, rent a car and visit the sites on your own. Or do a combination: a tour on one day, then your own visits another day. Public transportation is not good in the area.

Overlord Tours has a one-day Band of Brothers tour. I took a different Overlord tour and was very satisfied. There are additional tour companies with good recommendations on this forum, but I don't know whether any of them have BoB-focused tours.

Band of Brothers Tour

Bayeux has several worthwhile sights: the tapestry, the cathedral, the historic center in general, and the very good, not-too-large invasion museum. The tourist office may still have a walking tour of the old town.

FWIW, we just did the Overlord B of B tour that acraven references and it was terrific. I don't have anything to compare it to but I doubt there's a more well-paced and comprehensive tour that visits the various locations. The pickup point is a short stroll from the Churchill hotel.

Thank you so much everyone for all your great feedback, I really appreciate it, Judi

Acraven & Robert:
I really appreciate this information, I will look into the Overlord B of B Tours, because I am booked at the Churchill Hotel!
Sounds great! Judi
