What a Normandy private tour is
A private tour puts your party alone in the vehicle with a driver-guide, from your hotel in
Bayeux or Caen, or from your door in Paris. You set the order of the stops and the time at each,
within the length of the day. Most private fares are quoted per person; one car is quoted per
group of up to seven, and the e-bike ride and the Paris Mont day ask for two travellers at
least.
The sites are the same free ones the shared days visit: Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, Pointe du
Hoc and the Normandy American Cemetery, and the Mont with its abbey ticket paid on the Mont days.
What changes is who is in the car and who decides the route.
Why choose a Normandy private tour
You set the order and the pace
The private Bayeux day runs its stops in an order your party can change, and the VIP day from
Paris follows a route you can shape. Stay longer at the cemetery, skip a museum, add a stop that
matters to your family.
Your hotel is the meeting point
The private days collect you at your hotel in Bayeux or Caen, or at your Paris address. The
e-bike ride can arrange a pickup too. Nobody waits for latecomers.
Access needs are planned for
The private Bayeux beaches day takes wheelchairs, strollers and infant seats, and the VIP day
from Paris says its transport is wheelchair accessible. No shared day here says it takes a
wheelchair.
Per car can cost less than per seat
The car for up to seven costs $986 once, which is $140 each for a full
car. That is less a head than a shared full day from Bayeux at $154 to $216.
Private vs small-group tours
A small-group day from Bayeux already caps the minivan at eight. Here is what going private
adds, and what it costs.
| Private from Bayeux or Caen | Private from Paris | Small group from Bayeux |
|---|
| Who is aboard | Your party only | Your party only | Up to 8, or 19 on some |
| Pickup | Your hotel | Your Paris address | Place du Québec or selected hotels |
| Route | You can change the order | A route you can shape | Fixed |
| Price | $404 a person, or $986 a car | $667 to $928 a person | $107 to $216 a person |
| Wheelchair | The beaches day in the minivan | The VIP day | Not accommodated |
| Refund | 24 hours or 6 days ahead | 24 hours ahead | 24 hours or 6 days ahead |
Check availability from $986
For two people, a shared day costs far less. From three people up, the car priced per group
costs less a head than the private minivan, and from five it costs less than the e-bikes.
What you get, and what you don't
- Vehicle and driver: always. A driver-guide on the Bayeux days, a cycling
guide on the e-bikes, and on the private Paris Mont day a live guide from four people or on its
guided option.
- Tickets: the abbey on the Mont days, and the Colleville museum and the
abbey on the private Paris Mont day. The private Bayeux beaches day lists museum fees as
extra.
- Water and fees: the car for seven, the VIP day and the Paris Mont day list
all fees and taxes, and the car and the Mont day add bottled water.
- Lunch: never. The Bayeux days also leave out the guide's lunch.
- Weather: if the operator cancels the e-bike ride or the VIP day for bad
weather, you are offered another date or a full refund.
Your own minivan from your Bayeux hotel
A driver-guide for up to eight, about five and a half hours at the sites in the order you choose. Wheelchairs, strollers and infant seats accommodated.

Our guide to what each fare buys sets the private fares beside the shared ones, and the map of the meeting points shows
where each day collects you.
Who should choose something else
- If you travel alone on a budget. A private fare costs the same or more for
one. A Bayeux half day starts at $107; see the Normandy tours from Bayeux.
- If you want a museum ticket paid. The coach day from Paris with lunch
and the Caen afternoon both put one in the fare.
- If your party is more than eight. The car takes seven and the minivans
eight, so you would need two.
- If you like company on the day. A small group of eight shares the stories
and the questions, at a lower fare.
Frequently asked questions
What does "per group of up to 7" mean?
The fare buys the whole car for up to seven people, so a party of seven pays $986 once. That is the private American-sector day from Bayeux or Caen.
What does a private tour cost for four?
On the car priced per group, $986 split four ways is $246 each. The private Bayeux day charges $404 a person whatever the size of your party, so the car costs less once you are three or more.
Is the driver also a guide on a private tour?
On the private Bayeux days, yes: the fare names a driver-guide. The private day from Paris to the Mont adds a live guide on its guided option, and always from four people. The e-bike ride comes with a cycling guide.
Are Normandy tours wheelchair accessible?
Only the private Bayeux beaches day and the private VIP day from Paris say they are. Every shared tour listed here says it is not, and the paths at Pointe du Hoc are rough during the works.
Do tours pick me up at my hotel?
The private tours do, and Normandy Sightseeing Tours collects from selected Bayeux hotels. Most shared days meet at Place du Québec in Bayeux, at Porte Maillot or avenue de Wagram in Paris, or outside the Le Havre cruise terminal.
Is there a bike tour of the D-Day beaches?
Yes: a private half-day e-bike ride from Bayeux to Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery, from $219 a person. The helmet, water and snacks are in the fare.
What is the cancellation policy?
It depends on the tour, and every card states its own. Most refund in full up to 24 hours ahead, the Normandy Sightseeing Tours days up to 6 days ahead, and the Mémorial de Caen tour up to 48 hours. The train day from Paris is non-refundable.
