Don’t miss, memorable at all ages! - Greatest possible way to feel the environment, understand the history, see the sights and laugh with Emmanuel. Small things make the difference and Emmanuel was that difference A master of balance—time, knowledge, personality, humor, concern for our well being and comfort.. Bring a jacket can be cool because of sea. A must if in Normandy. My wife who is afraid of escolatars was at ease because of Emmanuel.

Great way to see WW2 sites in Normandy - Incredible tour! Manuel and Thierry were great drivers and guides. Friendly and a vast knowledge of WW2 and the area. The sites themselves are interesting, moving, somber and still beautiful. I only wish we had more time, but we were constrained by our train schedules. Would recommend the longer tour if you have time! We had beautiful weather and scenery so the sidecars added a little extra fun to the journey. Great value overall, definitely recommend!

The best way to see the D-Day sites! - This experience was unbelievable. Our tour guide, Terry, was the best. We were able to go to sites that large tours could not get to. He also explained a lot to us about the D-Day landings and was funny and accommodating. We would recommend this to everyone. The motorcycle and sidecar were comfortable and enjoyable.

Fantastic Sidecar Tour of D-Day Sites and Countryside - This was our favorite tour experience by far. Riding the motorcycle and sidecar through the quiet backroads of Normandy felt like going back in time. Our guide, Thierry, knew the area and the history and took us to the bunkers and turrets above Omaha Beach at a place not easily accessible by car so we enjoyed it alone before returning to the lower beach other other stops. I’d highly recommend this experience and Thierry is an excellent and safe driver, the sidecar is comfortable, and riding on the back of the motorcycle is too. (My teen son and I swapped spots at times.) Thierry has rain gear (it had rained before our ride), gloves, helmets, etc. I would definitely take this tour and so much better than being in a minivan or car for a private tour. Thank you, it was fantastic!

Book it! - We had a great day riding around and seeing all the DDay sites. Thierry was so knowledgeable and you can really tell he has a passion for talking about history with others. He was also funny and entertaining. Doing this excursion was one of the best parts of our trip to France. We’ll always have this really cool memory! Just book it. You’ll have no regrets!

An unforgettable experience! - Thierry and Manuel were very kind, professional, and attentive throughout the entire tour. They took us by motorcycle through spectacular landscapes and made us live a unique experience. We were a group of four: my husband, myself, and our 17 and 19-year-old children. Throughout the tour they explained the history of the Second World War to us and took us to very significant places, sharing very interesting information. The best part of all was that our children enjoyed the experience a lot, and that is saying something since they are usually not interested in history! Without a doubt, it was one of the most memorable moments of our trip. We recommend this experience 100%!
