Private Tour to Bayeux, Honfleur and Pays d' Auge from Caen

About this tour

An eight-hour private tour through three Normandy highlights. Travel by minivan from Caen to Bayeux, where the 11th-century tapestry tells of 1066's conquest (note: museum closes September 2025 for renovation until October 2027). Continue to Honfleur's pastel-lined harbour, then into Pays d'Auge for tastings of Camembert, Calvados and local cider. Your driver doubles as guide throughout.

Highlights

• Bayeux Tapestry Museum (subject to closure; check dates)
• Honfleur's colour-washed waterfront and artist heritage
• Working farms and cheese producers in Pays d'Auge
• Regional cider and Calvados sampling
• Private transport for up to eight travellers

What to expect

You'll be collected in an air-conditioned minivan and driven through rolling Norman countryside. In Bayeux, the museum (when open) displays the 70-metre embroidered narrative of William's invasion. The harbour town of Honfleur shifts mood entirely—expect a leisurely wander past fishing boats and converted warehouses where Monet and Boudin once sketched. The afternoon focuses on Pays d'Auge's rural heartland: smallholdings, orchards, and producers keen to show how they make cheese and distil apple brandy. Tastings happen at working farms rather than tourist shops.

Good to know

Museum entry fees aren't included. Food and drink purchases are yours to cover, except where tastings occur at producers. The minivan accommodates wheelchairs, prams and service animals. All fitness levels are welcome. Verify Bayeux Tapestry opening status before booking, as renovation work runs through October 2027.
