Private British D-Day Tour from Bayeux

Discover key British D-Day sites on a full-day private tour from Bayeux, tracing the story of the 6th Airborne Division, the landings at Sword and Gold Beaches and the engineering feat of the Mulberry Harbour at Arromanches.

Pegasus Bridge – First to Land

Begin at Pegasus Bridge, where glider-borne troops of the British 6th Airborne Division landed just after midnight on 6 June 1944. Hear how they seized and held this vital crossing, and see the original bridge preserved at the nearby Pegasus Memorial Museum.

Ranville War Cemetery

Continue to Ranville War Cemetery, resting place of many 6th Airborne Division soldiers. Walk among the headstones in this peaceful setting and take time for quiet reflection.

Monument La Flamme

Make a brief stop at the Monument La Flamme, which honours Lord Lovat and Philippe Kieffer, symbolising the role of British commandos and Free French troops in the landings.

Sword Beach & Bill Millin Monument

Head to Sword Beach, where British forces came ashore on D-Day. Visit the Bill Millin Monument and hear the remarkable story of the piper who played his bagpipes under fire to inspire the troops.

Lunch Break on the Coast

Enjoy free time for lunch at your own expense, often in Courseulles-sur-Mer or another coastal town, where you can sample local seafood or classic French dishes.

British Normandy Memorial & Gold Beach

In the afternoon, visit the British Normandy Memorial overlooking Gold Beach, dedicated to the 22,442 men and women under British command who died during the Normandy campaign, then walk Gold Beach itself to understand its role in securing the beachhead.

Arromanches & the Mulberry Harbour

Stop in Arromanches to see the remains of the Mulberry Harbour offshore and learn how this temporary port enabled the Allies to land vast quantities of men and supplies after D-Day.

Longues-sur-Mer German Battery

Finish at the well-preserved German battery at Longues-sur-Mer, with its concrete gun emplacements still in place, offering insight into the Atlantic Wall defences and sweeping views of the coastline.

Why Choose This Tour

Travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes minivan with a private English-speaking guide, who tailors commentary and pacing to your interests for a personal, in‑depth exploration of the British D-Day story.
