Best way to explore Normandy! - Manuel and Jerry were a blast! We learned a lot and enjoyed our ride around the countryside. My family agreed that this is one of the best ways to explore Normandy and learn the history. Manuel and Jerry adapted to the traffic because of the DDay events and we appreciate their professionalism and humor. We had 9 year old with us and he loved being in the side car. Would totally do this tour again!

Absolutely amazing experience!!! - Absolutely amazing!! We did our tour on Sunday, June 9th, 2024, during the 80th anniversary. Because of this the crowds were much larger traffic was a bit busier, but we got to witness an amazing parade of WW2 vehicles. Our guide went above and beyond to make sure we saw the sites. Riding in the motorcycle side car, down the roads through the small towns was incredible! Way better than being crowded in a van with 14 strangers!! I would highly, highly recommend this tour company!!

D-Day week tour - Manuel is friendly, knowledgeable and an extraordinary motorcyclist . He is familiar with every alternate route so despite the traffic challenges we faced by taking our tour just one day prior to the D-Day 80th anniversary, we were able to see nearly everything we’d hoped. Thanks for an absolutely breathtaking ride.

Exhilarating side car tour! - The side car rides with Manual and Thierry were exhilarating! It was the single best experience we have had in Paris. The American cemetery is so moving and the guides pointed out all the important details of the bunkers and the barriers to the ships in the ocean. Both Manual and Thierry were knowledgeable and had relevant background information which we did not expect from a tour of this kind. We totally endorse the experience they provided.

A very unique and special experience - Manuel was such a knowledgeable guide without being overwhelming. We learned so much. It was a great experience to actually be able to go into one of the old bunkers and to walk on Omaha Beach. I think, however, what made this trip really unique and special was to be able to see the countryside and small towns on the motorbike and side car. I am not someone that generally is interested in big thrills or adrenaline rushes, but on this tour I felt very safe and relaxed

A wonderful experience! - A very original way to discover the D-Day story and the lovely Normandy landscape. Thanks Manu for this wonderful experience! We really enjoyed your many anecdotes on the tour and your advices about what we should see in the region (without you we would have missed the Bayeux Tapestry and a few nice restaurants :).

Book a tour!!! - We had the most excellent day thanks to Thierry! We enjoyed the wisdom he shared about the beaches of Normandy, as well as just chatting throughout the day. What a fantastic way to explore. Even it being overcast & having a bit of rain could not put a damper on the day, as we were provided with rain gear, & the beauty all around was enough to make us forget it was a bit soggy. Thierry speaks excellent English for those wondering. We highly recommend taking a tour!!

Fun unique way to visit Normandy invasion sites near Bayeux. - Riding through small roads away from traffic with wonderful nature and chateaux views. Description/maps of day's activities prior to departure helped craft mental picture of invasion areas visited. On time early departure insure we had early visited sites to ourselves. Guide was personable and a careful rider. Felt safe at all times.

Highlight of our trip to France. - Highlight of our trip to France. We enjoyed Bayeux and the beautiful countryside of Normandy. I booked the tour for my husbands but I enjoyed it just as much. We were not only looking forward to seeing the WWII sights but getting back on the sidecars. I highly recommend this tour. We are hoping to return and do the tour again with our friends.
