After departing from your centrally located Bayeux hotel or a prearranged meeting point, begin your half-day tour of Normandy's Canadian World War II sites.

Follow your guide on a guided tour of the 12th-century structure and hear of its turbulent history before returning to the vehicle and relaxing during the scenic journey back to Bayeux.

Normandy Battlefields Tour- Canadian World War 2 Sites
Darlene_D
, Jan 2020
My adult daughter and I enjoyed this tour immensely. It was a lovely sunny day and our tour guide was so informative. Given that my Dad had landed on Juno Beach on D-Day, it meant a lot to us to have this opportunity. The Beny-sur-Mer Cemetery was very moving to see all those graves of Canadians as well. There is so much history in the area and it made me want to know more!

Booking online was easy. Our guide and driver Caroline was very knowledgeable and we were given an adequate amount of time at each of our stops. The train station location was convenient as we had to take a train, then a bus back to our hotel in Cabourg. The Juneau Beach Centre was excellent with interactive displays and a very emotional film. We very much enjoyed walking on Juneau Beach and viewing the historical monuments there. Reading the headstones at the Beny-sur-Mer cemetery was also very emotional. We were disappointed that the write-up about the tour included a visit to Ardenne Abbey but there wasn't time to include that. Either the description should be changed or extra time allowed to include this important Canadian war site.

Our guide was not only knowledgeable and thorough, she had a great sense of time. She not only gave us a comprehensive tour of the sites, and tons of useful information, but she also gave the group time to explore on their own. That's good teaching ;) Thanks for a fantastic experience; would definitely recommend.

The best way to be introduced to Juno beach
mark_y
, Sep 2019
We were picked up promptly and our tour guide was an excellent driver. She was full of knowledge about Juno beach and kept the conversation going when it lulled. A car is really essential to see all of the Canadian related D day sights and having a friendly, knowledge guide who spoke excellent English made it a perfect day. She also has us back at the train station in plenty of time for the 1830 train back to Paris.

This is a wonderful half day tour from Bayeaux that encompasses the Juno Beach Centre, Juno Beach itself, the Canadian Cemetery, and the Abbey. Our guide Celine was excellent with her detailed descriptions, pictures, and patience with all our questions. While it is a sombrr experience, she was also able to inject stories that helped us understand the personal side of the Normandy battle. Thank you so much for a wonderful and educational tour.

Tour van was waiting for us as we were a tad late and our right away made us feel comfortable . Our guide was most informative on dates names troop movements etc for D day and the weeks following. I was glad as a Canadian to see the places of our contribution and the flag flying in so many spots . I would recommend all Canadians to take this tour .
