  • Can I combine the D-Day beaches and Mont-Saint-Michel in one tour?

    Contact our team to assess your plans rather than assuming both can fit into a single day. Feasibility depends on your departure location, travel time, and the visits you want to include. For a broader Normandy journey, consider visiting the D-Day sites and Mont-Saint-Michel on separate days.

     

  • Do you offer Normandy shore excursions from Le Havre and Cherbourg?

    Yes. We offer Normandy shore excursions from both Le Havre and Cherbourg. Available routes depend on your port and time ashore. When discussing a private excursion, provide your ship name and scheduled arrival and departure times so our team can assess a suitable itinerary.

     

  • Can I visit Normandy on a day trip from Paris?

    Yes. Ophorus offers a small-group D-Day battlefields and landing beaches day trip from Paris, and you can contact our team about private options. These are full-day experiences that include travel to and from Normandy. Review the schedule and included sites carefully before choosing your tour.

     

  • Do you offer Mont-Saint-Michel tours?

    Yes. Our private Mont-Saint-Michel village and abbey tour offers an experience dedicated to your travel party. Check the product page for the itinerary, departure arrangements, and included services. If you are planning a wider Normandy stay, our team can help assess how this visit fits your travel plans.

  • Can I book a private Normandy tour tailored to my interests?

    Yes. Our private Normandy experiences allow you to discuss your preferred destinations and interests with our team. Focus on D-Day history, château and medieval heritage, regional food, or coastal towns. The final itinerary depends on your starting point, travel time, opening arrangements, and visit availability.

  • Should I choose a half-day or full-day D-Day tour?

    A half-day tour suits travelers who want to focus on selected D-Day sites or have limited time. A full-day itinerary allows a broader exploration, with more time for visits and historical context. Compare the published routes rather than assuming every full-day tour visits all five landing beaches.

  • Which D-Day beaches and sites can I visit?

    Depending on your itinerary, you can visit sites such as Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery, and Pointe du Hoc. For a private tour, contact our team about the landing sectors or battlefield sites that interest you most. Not every tour covers the same locations.

  • Where do your Normandy tours depart from?

    Departure locations depend on the experience. Our D-Day tours include departures from Bayeux,Caen and Paris, while shore excursions depart from Le Havre or Cherbourg. Other private experiences have their own departure arrangements, so check the individual tour page before booking.
