Any Advice on Finding a D-Day Tour Guide for Sep 2014?

Maybe you could contact your hotel in Bayeux to see if they can help. Otherwise rent a car for a do-it-yourself tour. We did that one year and while a guided tour is better, with a guide book and info on Canadian army participation, it worked well for us. Plus we were just the two of us, which I liked.

Did you try Normandy Sightseeing Tours (www.normandy-sightseeing-tours.com, Tél: 00.33.(0)2.31.51.70.52)? We took a tour with them in May and enjoyed it.

Try Dale Booth. He has his own tour services. Google his name. We took several tours with him and he's outstanding in his knowledge of history.

Rick's book recommends quite a few different private guides and organized tours, including the one departing from the Caen Memorial Museum, which has more departures. As with hotels, you can put out a few different request emails concurrently, then confirm with the one that responds first or best.

browns,

I don't know which firms you've tried already, so this is just a partial list of guides in that area......

• http://dboothnormandytours.com/
• http://ddayhistorian.com/
• http://www.overlordtour.com/
• http://www.ddaybattletours.com/welcome.html
• http://www.bayeuxshuttle.com/

As your visit to that area is only a month away, hopefully you'll be able to get a reservation with one of them.

Good luck!
