I will be in Bayeux for 4 days at the end of March and being a history buff I want to take a D Day tour.
After reading through the boards I wanted to take the two day Battlebus tour. However they do not have enough people booked to offer a tour the days I will be there. What other tours would you guys recommend for D Day sites?
I haven't take one of their tours myself, but I've read good reports about Overlordtour.
Kyle,
One suggestion you might consider. Check out some of the other tours, including Overlord and the one offered by the Museum in Caen. However don't book anything yet. You could also check out Ellwood von Seibold, however he may also require a minimum number for tours and the cost of his tours may be prohibitive.
In the same circumstances, I'd probably contact BattleBus again and ask them if it would be possible to add your name(s) to a waiting list. Provide them with the name and contact details for your Hotel, your Cell phone number (if you'll be travelling with a phone) and E-mail address.
As I recall, you'll be there in late March and it's possible that other people might request a tour by that time, so they may in fact have enough for a group. Of course there's no guarantees, so that's why it's a good idea to have the "backup plan" with the other tours.
Good luck!
Kyle, I highly recommend the Ellwood von Seibold tours that Ken mentioned. His company's name is D-Day Battle Tours.
