Walking tour of Bayeux a must do! - We had a fabulous walking tour around Bayeux! What a wonderful place. Marie, our guide, was fantastic—so knowledgeable and engaging. She pointed out details we would have completely missed on our own and gave us just the right amount of history to bring the city to life. It was the perfect way to spend a morning!

I learned the 'whys' about Bayeux, not just the 'whats'. - Had a fabulous tour. I would highly recommend these guides if you want to know the 'whys' and not just the 'whats' of Bayeux. Our guides depth and passion for knowledge shows and is much appreciated. The city became a friend as we learned about her histories and nuances. We learned so much. As a mom, I'm claiming victory that my teenager was attentive and off his phone for 90% of the tour. Thank you!

Bayeux overview - Wear comfortable shoes and clothes. Good summary of the area, although her timeliness could have been clearer and more thorough.
