10 Tours in Bayeux That You Shouldn't Miss

May 6, 2022 Tambra Mccollister

The northern French town of Bayeux is best known for the eponymous tapestry that depicts the 11th-century Norman Conquest. You can see it, of course, on display at the Bayeux Tapestry Museum. The cloth’s original home was the Bayeux Cathedral, which still towers over the area, looking a bit like a Gothic wedding cake. Inside you’ll find beautifully detailed murals and haunting crypts. Bayeux makes an excellent jumping off point to tour nearby historic WWII sites.

We had such a great day with Hugo. We met near our hotel and took quiet backroads all the way to the American Cemetery. The ride was terrific. Hugo kept the pace steady. At all times he was in control. Even the rain did not stop the ride. He kept up a steady stream of information to prepare us for our visit. Our bikes were excellent trail bikes in great condition. Hugo even brought us a snack of local apple juice and cake. And he took us for a fun lunch. It is clear that Hugo is an experienced rider and a great tour guide. We felt safe and had loads of fun. I would highly recommend taking one of the bicycle tours he has put together. The price is right, and you won’t be disappointed with the ride either. Thanks Hugo, hope to see you again soon.

We visited desiring a "splurge" on the coast and experience of an all day tour of WWII spots in Normandy. We LOVED Bayeux Shuttle. It was worth every penny. Mike was our guide and his passion and knowledge shined through. He was truly one of the best tour guides we've ever had the pleasure of spending time with. We loved the flow of the full day tour - starting at the German cemetery and ending at the American Cemetery, very strategically, which you learn about why on the tour. Mike even researched a family member whose landing on Utah Beach we were curious about, before we arrived the for the tour. The vans are modern and are outfitted with tv screens that play informative videos that enhance the experience as you go from one location to the next.
