Licensed Tour Guide in Normandy
Discover Normandy with a passionate licensed tour guide
Explore the D-Day beaches, Bayeux, Caen, Honfleur, Deauville and Normandy’s major historic sites on private tours tailored to your interests, with a licensed tour guide.
Why explore Normandy with a licensed tour guide?
Normandy is a land shaped by history, where every town, village and landscape has a story to tell. From the D-Day beaches and dramatic coastal cliffs to the medieval streets of Bayeux and the seaside towns of Deauville and Honfleur, the region offers an extraordinary heritage best discovered with expert insight.
As a licensed tour guide, I help bring meaning and context to the places you visit. My aim is not simply to show you monuments and famous landmarks, but to help you understand the events, people and stories that have shaped Normandy over the centuries.
I offer private guided tours in Normandy in English and French, tailored to all kinds of visitors: couples, families, groups of friends, associations, companies and schools. Each tour is designed around your interests, your pace and the time you have available.
Whether you would like to follow in the footsteps of those who took part in the Normandy landings, explore D-Day sites such as Omaha Beach and the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, or discover Bayeux, Caen, Honfleur, Deauville or Lisieux, I create an engaging experience combining accessible historical explanations, fascinating stories and plenty of opportunity for conversation along the way.
Because every visitor is different, I place great importance on listening and personalising each experience. My role is to bring history to life, answer your questions and make your time in Normandy both meaningful and enjoyable.
More than simply a guided tour, I invite you to experience Normandy in a different way — by understanding its heritage, its history, and the women and men who shaped it.
Choose the experience that suits you best
Every tour is an invitation to experience Normandy in a different way. Whether you are passionate about history, travelling with family or friends, or visiting with a school group, I offer experiences tailored to your interests and level of knowledge, guided by a licensed tour guide.

We had a wonderful Normandy tour! Our guide was knowledgeable, personable, and made the day feel relaxed and well organized. We loved the cheese tasting at Fromagerie Graindorge, exploring Beuvron-en-Auge, and the Calvados and cider tastings at Père Magloire and Manoir d’Apreval. It was a perfect mix of local food, history, scenery, and culture. Highly recommend!
