At the end of the tour, the minibus will return to the original departure point in Bayeux.

Very knowledgeable guide. Knew not only the British part of the invasion, but very familiar with the individual participants and what their rolls were. Very knowledge about Pegasus bridge, and the museum. Very highly recommended.
