Half-Day D-Day Museums Tour from Bayeux

Step back in time on this small-group half-day tour from Bayeux and explore two key museums dedicated to the Normandy landings: the D-Day Museum in Arromanches-les-Bains and the Overlord Museum near Omaha Beach.

From Historic Bayeux to the D-Day Coast

Meet your expert guide in Bayeux and board a comfortable vehicle for the short, scenic drive to the coast, where the story of D-Day and Operation Overlord unfolded in June 1944.

Arromanches-les-Bains & the Mulberry Harbour

Begin in Arromanches-les-Bains at the D-Day Museum, built overlooking the remains of the Mulberry artificial harbour. Learn how these temporary ports were designed and assembled to unload men, vehicles and supplies onto the beaches and support the Allied advance.

D-Day Museum: Immersive Exhibits

Inside the museum, discover models, multimedia presentations and original artefacts that explain how the Mulberry harbour worked, why it was vital to the landings, and how engineers turned a bold concept into reality under extreme conditions.

Overlord Museum in Colleville-sur-Mer

Continue to the Overlord Museum near Omaha Beach for a broader view of Operation Overlord. Explore large-scale dioramas and extensive collections of tanks, vehicles, weapons, uniforms and personal items from the Allied and German forces.

Stories, Strategy and Human Experience

As you move through the museum galleries, your guide brings the exhibits to life with testimonies, maps and explanations of the key decisions, movements and battles that shaped the campaign in Normandy.

Expert Guidance in a Small Group

Travelling in a small group allows time for questions and discussion, with your guide on hand to interpret the displays and connect what you see in the museums to the wider story of the D-Day landings.
