A must do in Normandy! - This WWII tour was a great way to experience four of the must see places in Normandy! We enjoyed the exclusivity of the tour, which made it even more fun for my family! Riding through Normandy in a sidecar was a fun way to experience this part of the country. Our guides, Emanuel and Thierry, we extremely knowledgeable, friendly and answered all of our questions. They were also fully prepared with rain gear for us when we needed it. We would highly recommend this tour!

Unique experience of history and thrills - Thierry took us to key WWII sites and was a very knowledgeable guide whose vivid storytelling brought history to life. Riding through Normandy’s countryside in a sidecar made the journey immersive. The open-air ride let us soak in the lush fields, quaint villages, and coastal cliffs, amplifying the emotional impact of sites like Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc. It felt like we were part of the landscape, not just passing through. My 79-year-old father-in-law, who has limited mobility, initially had concerns about managing the sidecar, however he found it spacious, secure, and easy to access. Thierry ensured he could get in and out comfortably, and the smooth ride kept him at ease. The itinerary was well-paced, with stops that allowed us to explore, reflect, and take photos without feeling rushed. The motorcycle added excitement while remaining safe, and our guide’s expertise deepened our understanding of Normandy’s WWII history. This tour was a perfect mix of adventure, history, and accessibility. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique way to experience Normandy’s WWII sites, It’s a bucket-list adventure that delivers on every level.

This tour was one of the... - This tour was one of the best experiences my family ever had. Manuel and Thierry were knowledgeable and fantastic tour guides. Seeing Normandy in the motorcycle/sidecar was breathtaking with the wind blowing in your face and admiring the beautiful scenery! I felt it was a liberating experience! Being on Omaha Beach and at the American Cemetery was quite emotional and riveting. This is the perfect half day tour for a day trip from Paris. Manuel and Thierry were accommodating with the start time and pick up point. We were picked up and dropped off at the train station which was convenient. I highly recommend this tour and definitely get out of your comfort zone and do the motorcycle/sidecar! Thank you Manuel and Thierry for making our tour of Normandy so special which we will never forget!

Exceptional experience, outstanding knowledge - Unique experience with personal touches. Host, Manuel, is accommodating on pick-up location. His motorcycle is clean and eye catching. His driving is safe. Traveling the backroads rather than main highways adds touch of connection to the land and people of Normandy, as well as the imagery of Allied soldiers advancing despite challenges of the terrain. Manuel is an excellent host and guide. His knowledge of the history and his attention to finest details of June 1944 add remarkable insight to both the Allied and German perspectives of the invasion. Manuel is extremely personable. It was like we had been longtime friends and he was going to do his best to host us. Highly recommend this excursion and Manuel as your host/guide/friend. Especially recommend to those with keen interest in history, and trivia, as well as military strategy, planning, and tactics.

The Only Way to See Normandy - Exhilerating tour of the Normandy countryside on the way to the more famous sites of Omaha Beach, British Memorial, Pont du Hoc. Stop in in a fishing village for a coffee ... what a unique way to visit this special area. Our guide, Thierry, picked us up at our hotel, provided a splendid adventure and dropped us off at the perfect spot in Bayeux for lunch. Highly recommend.

Normandy with a Twist!! - What a great experience we had with Thierry and Emmanuel! The beautiful and exciting ride through the countryside of Normandy with stops along the way and history the entire time. Riding through small towns on a motorcycle with side car was truly magical! At each stop, we were given great history and up close and personal experiences. I can’t imagine doing this any other way! Thank you so much to T & E for all the fun and a good history lesson!!!
