Look a squirrel!! - We had the honor of visiting Normandy right before the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Our private guide was Remy who did an AMAZING job! He was so thorough and knowledgable, I don't know how he remembered everything he did! The motorcycle/sidecar was so much fun to ride around on throughout the French countryside to get to each stop. This was an experience we will remember forever. Thanks Remy for the drinks! Now I know not to slam Brandy hahahahaha

Amazing Tour - My son is a WW2 history buff and found this tour for our visit during the 80th anniversary of D-Day. I had high expectations and the Retro Tour team met every one of them. I reached out to Thomas to book since we needed 6 motorcycles. He responded very quickly and helped to make the reservation. Since our tour was during the same time period of the anniversary ceremonies, Thomas made some suggestions on how we could alter our trip to get the best experience. On the day of the trip, the 6 drivers were a great fit for our group which ranged from 7 years old to 65 years old. Remi was my and my son’s driver and he was fantastic. He is knowledgeable about the surrounding area and has a great sense of humor. If you want an unforgettable experience of visiting the D-Day beaches and surrounding areas, this is the only tour to book.

Great experience with excellent information - What a fun experience! Phillipe was an excellent guide and really helped bring the events to life with stories tracing an individual. The motorbike was so much fun, especially the ride back with such stunning views on the French country roads. Would do again and highly recommend!

An unforgettable way to see the sights - Remy was an excellent guide, navigating us smoothly through the congestion (it was June 4 and roads were crowded!) and maximizing our time at the sites. It would be best to hit the museums first or know some details about the events before the tour. But nothing beats the feeling of traversing the same roads by motorcycle.

Florent Showed Us A Great Time - We added this unusual attraction to our schedule while on a UNIWORLD river cruise, and visiting the town of Honfleur. Our driver, Florent, did an outstanding job in driving my wife and me around Honfleur, where we stopped at an ancient church and at a cider mill. Florent spoke excellent English and he drove his motorcycle with great care. Florent is a big fan of Americans, and is involved with a group that restores World War II military vehicles. I would recommend this attraction to other tourists without exception.

50th Birthday Tour - Thank you so much for an amazing tour yesterday, my husband and nephew had a really wonderful day. The guide was so passionate and knowledgable about all the sites they visited and he went into great detail explaining everything that was seen. He selected a fabulous restaurant by the water for lunch and suggested amazing local produce for our party to try. We would highly recommend this unique tour to anyone who wants to visit all the best locations in Normandy.
