Whilst visiting Normandy battlefields is my main work, clearly it's not everyone’s glass of Calvados or cup of coffee. If you require a souvenir, a snack or shopping this can be sandwiched into the schedule. You could even cram in a croissant!
Whichever Normandy tour you choose, you will find it a worthwhile experience. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the tour!
Here is a sample listing of some of my current Normandy battlefield and history tours. I am constantly researching and uncovering new stories for these tours and keeping up to date with recent discoveries. More tours are being added all of the time. If you fancy something different to what is listed below ....please ask!
