I am looking for a one day tour with a morning pickup at a Paris airport, traveling to Normandy and ending in Bayeux, with potential stops in Giverny and/or Honfluer along the way. Traveling in September , 2025. inquired with Overlord Tours, but they are unavailable for the date I would like. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

nsmith20,
Am I reading you correctly? Do you plan on returning to Paris that same day, or are you staying in Bayeux that night? Or are you looking for someone to take you there and you return on your own (by train)? You say ending in Bayeux, so I am not sure if the "one day tour" means a return to Paris or not.
If you plan on returning to Paris that same day, you will spend the greater part of the day going to and from Bayeux/DDay beaches area. There will not be time for Honfleur or Giverny on this outing. Distances are too great and going by car is not as fast as a train, in this case.
I hope you find the opportunity to visit these places, but fear you underestimate the travel time needed, especially by car.
Bonne chance!

We would be spending the night in Bayeux after the drive from Paris airport.

NSMITH20 there are multiple tour companies in Normandie for starters. Secondly, CDG airport is a 3 hour drive from Bayeux, a 1/2 day tour of the D-Day beaches is 4 hours. At that point you’ve had nearly a full day. Giverny and Honfleur won’t fit in. Also Paris originating Normandie trips are a round trip affair.
You would be best served by coming to Bayeux on an early train, doing a day tour and perhaps consider a meandering drive back to CDG the next day.

We used https://www.firstnormandybattlefieldtours.com and he is excellent. He does not pickup from Paris, but you can take the train (very easy) and he will meet you.
