We booked online and I was a little worried I’d been scammed, since I couldn’t find concrete info on these guys and I didn’t get a confirmation after the initial booking that the tour would go ahead with enough numbers, but our experience was ultimately excellent.
We caught the train to Bayeaux from Caen and then walked into the city centre - less than ten minutes. The meeting spot for the tour is in a carpark, next to a public toilet (one of the only ones in Bayeaux!) Look for a sign with the names of lots of tour companies and you’ll be in the right spot.

Read moreAmazing Tours but every better people! Words and a review can not express how grateful I am that we booked with Gold Beach. They will be my only call (and they should be yours) when visiting France!
The tours of Le Mont-Saint-Michel and the beaches will be something our group remember for the rest of our lives.
Kate is just a special person! Thank you is not enough to express how lucky we were to have you lead our group. Her tours, knowledge and recommendations are top notch. What made Kate special was her care, kindness and her genuine concern for us was touching. We had a medical emergency during our stay and Kate jumped right in and continued to stay in touch after our tours ended to make sure that we had everything we needed. Kate & Gold Beach helped us translate with the hospital staff to ensure our group was...
