This was a group tour, but it was small. They picked us up in a van, and I don’t think our group was larger than 12-15. I highly recommend this tour company. Their presentation and knowledge of the history of D-Day was fantastic! As you drive in the van from one site to the next, they play informative videos on the TV in the van, and they also have a very interesting book/photo album they pass around. When you arrive at each site, they explain the historical events of the day before you explore on your own. They will respond to your email. Contact them and see if they can provide you with a private tour. Enjoy!

Our guide met us at the train station in Bayeux at 9:30 and had us back at 6:15

The price did not include the trip from/to Paris. It was set up that you take the earliest train from Paris to Bayeax (leaving Paris at Saint Lazare) arriving ~9:30AM. If the train is delayed, the tour waits for you. We did book round trip tickets, choosing the latest train back to Paris and then changing it to earlier once we were dropped off at the station. I think we'd have been better off only booking it one way and purchasing the return once we were already at the station.

No, you must pay extra for your travel from Paris to Normandy. It's very easy to get to Bayeaux, and if your train is late, as ours was, your guide will wait for you. Also, we had booked a rather late round-trip ticket to Paris, and Ian, our guide, gave an excellent suggestion for a place to eat. We followed that with a walk through the church "Notre Dame de Bayeaux", which only added to a wonderful day's adventure.
