Dress is dependant upon the season of your tour. Weather patterns are easily determined from many weather sites on the internet. We recommend in all seasons though that you bring an umbrella and/or rain coat just in case. It’s a good idea to take good, sturdy, and comfortable shoes as well since we will be doing a bit of walking on varied terrains. Be prepared to experience and explore foxholes!… Trenches!.. Bunkers! And the actual terrain of the Invasion!! Dress appropriately, and carpe diem!!

Wonderful Question!!! Overlordtour carries all appropriate insurances, diplomas, and licenses required by the French government to operate an “official” tour company. Many “cheap guides” work “under the table” with their fees and rates. Also, many non-French guide companies are not officially sanctioned by the appropriate French governmental authorities, and do not adhere to the legal requirements of operating a government licensed and approved tour company. Can you imagine having your tour interrupted by an arrest of your tour guide for non-compliance with the appropriate French regulations?

Why risk a touring disaster? Go with Overlordtour- a trusted, fully licensed and sanctioned French tour company. For more feed-back from our very many satisfied customers go on Tripadvisor and Rick Steves.

We cannot take responsibility for property left on our vehicles. If you realize quickly that you have left something of value (sentimental or financial), we will aim to return it to you before you move out of Bayeux. However in the case where you realize it too late and have already left Bayeux, we can offer to return it to you by post/courier service back to your country of origin, postage due. We regret that we have to apply this stringent policy but we unfortunately sent items in the past, trusting people to refund us and we were not.
