I have e-mailed several touring companies in the Normandy area about a tour in early Dec. However, I have not received any reply from any of them. Battlefield Tour is one of them. Does anyone know of others?

The Caen Memorial Museum does tours right from the museum. They offer some decent package deals as well if you are looking to stay in Caen. I was pleased with their tour, but didn't get to see everything I wanted to. There is so much to see there. Next time we will hopefully rent a car.

Jim, it's very possible that at least some of the tour companies are now closed for the winter (which could explain why they haven't replied to your E-mails). In order to run tours, some firms need to have a minimum number of bookings which is more difficult to achieve in winter as there are fewer travellers. ¶ I would highly recommend BattleBus, but you could also have a look at Overlord Tours or D-Day Battle Tours (Ellwood von Seibold). Happy travels!
