I did this tour for my... - I did this tour for my husband, but it ended up being one of my favorite things we’ve ever done on a trip. We took our 6 year old daughter and she loved riding in the sidecar. The guides were excellent and I’d definitely use this company again. Very much recommend.

Fun, enlightening & emotional. Make sure to lock in your rendezvous point early on. - My rider/host, Philipe, was great. Fun, knowledgeable & engaging. Since I ride a motorcycle too - I believe this was the perfect way for me to view & explore D-day & the Normandy coast. Weather was crummy with a lot of rain, still, the perfect day for me. By the end of our journey, I even looked the part having slipped & slid down a very muddy hill, muddy only on my bottom half our trip concluded with coffee & a great visit about each others counties “politics”. GREAT DAY!!

History Came Alive For My Kids! - Philip is an amazing guide. Very fun and engaging. My children were engaged! He is masterful at bypassing heavily touristy sites for ones that are still important and makes the most of the half day!
