I was thinking of taking the overnight fery from Portsmouth to Caen and then taking a D-day tour. Questions?

Ferry arrives at 7:15 am (on time?) and tour would start at 8:30 am in Bayeux. How do I get from the ferry dock to Bayeux?

Anyone ever taken a D-day with Overlord tours?

How far is the Memorial musuem from the train station?

Hotel in Caen close to either memorial museum or train station?

If you weren't rushed, you could take a taxi from the ferry port to Caen and a train from there to Bayeux. But you'd have to catch the 07:32 train in order to get to Bayeux before the tour departs--and you have no chance of making it.

You'd have to take a taxi directly from the ferry port to Bayeux. According to www.viamichelin.com, it's a 35-minute drive.

Is there anyway to have it waiting for me?

Hello BM:

Easy. Call Roel at Victory Tours and ask him to pick you up in Caen for a personal tour. You'll never forget it. Gradyghost

Here is a quote from the Brittany Ferries site:

"There are usually taxis waiting outside the terminal for ship arrivals and departures. If there are no taxis, the tourist information desk can call a taxi for you."

The museum is in the town of Caen. It is excellent. We took a tour through the museum which was quite good. Overall, visiting the beaches and the museum was a fantastic day.
