World War II Tours in Normandy
My brother and I are traveling to Normandy for 3-4 days in June. Looking at doing a one + tours (especially one that focuses on the Canadian troops). Any suggestions on tour companies? We will be staying in Bayeux. Thanks!

There are several tour companies listed on the web, which mostly seem to cater to the large American client base.
A couple of companies though still offer Canadian/British site tours.
www.overlordtour.com, www.normandy-sightseeing-tours.com
Alternatively, expensive private tours now seem to be the way of the future especially since the numbers of vets has significantly dwindled and interest wanes.
This fellow, previously with Battlebus now has his own private tour company.
www.firstnormandybattlefieldtours.com. He does an excellent job but, as I said, the cost for 2 is prohibitive.

This isn't specific to a tour, however, I hope this thread helps you. I wrote it from a trip two years ago:
