10000% recommend! - Manuel was unbelievable! If you are looking for a unique and memorable experience, than I would recommend this tour to you! My husband and I had the most incredible time touring landmarks and sites in the sidecar. Manuel talked with us the whole time and shared stories about what happened in Normandy during WW2. This was such a somber and beautiful experience and I hope everyone who comes to Normandy will get a chance to see it with Manuel!

This is a MUST book!!! - Where to begin about this experience… this will forever be an amazing memory! Myself, my husband, and my mother all did this together and we all were so happy we did! My husband said it was the best thing he’s ever done in Europe (and I agree!). Manuel and Thierry were SUPER tour guides and drivers - extremely friendly, hilarious, and very knowledgeable about all of the sites. We all learned so much! It was the perfect mix of history, respect, and levity. You could tell through talking with them that they really put in a lot of thought and effort into these tours. I really cannot say enough great things about them! Getting the unique experience of traveling to these sites on beautiful back roads through picturesque villages on a motorcycle/in a sidecar was an unforgettable experience. I will recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Fantastic tour - It was wonderful, dress warm. The bike was a little scary but so much fun. Our guide was so nice, and was so knowledgeable about the history.

A unique alternative to your standard tour. - A unique & memorable excursion with Manuel. The motorcycle sidecar tour was much more than an ordinary tour. From the passenger seat behind Manuel or in the sidecar you got to fully appreciate the French countryside “up close and personal”, the cool breeze, the scent of cut grass. We stopped at German fortifications overlooking Omaha Beach, went down to Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery and several stops along the way. At each of these stops Manuel displayed his historical knowledge along with personal family experiences from the invasion. My wife and I (75yrs old) would highly recommend this unique experience.

Interesting historical tour and a fun way to travel - We had an excellent tour guide, he made the day a fun event. The motorbike and side car was a great way to travel around the Normandy coast line, travelling on country back roads. I have to say, we were very lucky with the September weather.

A wonderful unique experience - We had a wonderful day with Thierry. He was kind, attentive and informative. We loved traveling the country roads up close and personal. . . And comfortable. Visiting Omaha beach, the American cemetery and Arranches was both educational and emotional. If you want a special memorable visit - book this tour. Thanks again Thierry.

Amazing - Manuel & Thierry were great! Very knowledgeable about the battles at Omaha and the surrounding area. The motorcycle ride through the countryside was beautiful and very comfortable. We travelled with our 2 adult sons (18 & 21) and they absolutely loved it. Highly recommend this tour.
