Normandy D-Day beaches tour operators

[bethohio3]

I'm looking for a private tour operator for the D-Day beaches from Le Havre.

 

Overlord doesn't have availability and there aren't open slots on any of the roll call tours.

 

I'm interested in knowing alternative private tour operators to check with. As a backup, I signed up for the Princess tour, but it's not our first choice

 

There are 2 of us, but we're traveling with friends, so I'm sure between them and our roll call we could fill a van of 8-16, which is my preferred your size.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

I'm sorry Overlord is booked, they were great.

 

I would suggest you post your inquiry over on the France board, since Normandy is in France. Also, do a search on that board, as there have been threads in which folks have asked the same question and gotten the names of some other private guides.

 

Good luck, and enjoy your cruise!

I am in the same situation. I wonder if we are on the same cruise!

I've posted a list of possibilities on the France board.

We used Dale Booth 2 years ago! Fantastic tour! Check out his reviews on Trip Advisor.

I'm watching for answers to your question with interest, because we are in somewhat the same situation (and also have booked with Princess "just in case"). We're on the July 22 cruise.

I can pass on some ideas. I don't have any personal experience with any of them other than email--and the communications have been without fail polite and helpful.

I hope you are able to work something out. I'm very impressed with the emails I've received from Adrienne at Albion-Voyages and am looking forward to our tour.

 

As I said, though, these are contacts but not recommendations.

When I was a travel agent in UK we always used Battlefield Tours. They will put together bespoke tours too, to fit your party. http://www.battlefieldtours.co.uk/ I know they are UK based but they may be able to offer something for you to meet them at a certain point in France.

 

Try also Normandy Battlefield Tours. I think they pick up in Le Havre http://www.normandy-battlefields.com

Which sailing are you on? I have four seats left on my June 15 Normandy tour (June 4 sailing of the Ruby Princess). It is with Jules Vernon, the premier tour guide from Overlord who has branched out and now owns his own company. If you are on this sailing, I look forward to hearing from you. flora dot m dot herbert at gmail dot com

We're on the May 11 sailing if the Ruby Princess. I was able to

Book a tour for 8 of us with Albion Voyage.

We used Dominique Eudier, dominique.eudier@wanadoo.fr last June as we were 9 people and most tours could only accommodate 8. She used a mini bus for us and gave us a great tour from Le Havre of the Normandy beaches. We informed her what we wanted to see in advance and she did quite well. BTW, Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network used her as well.
