Amazing!

My family of four did the 3 1/2 hour tour with Philipp and Florent. We went in December, it was cold, but it was 100% worth it! I had read in the reviews to do the longer tour option and I'm so glad we did. Our drives were extremely kind, professional & educational. My 17 year old son said it was way better than he thought it was going to be! He really enjoyed listening to Philipp and Florent's stories. We are now home and still thinking about the tour. Such an incredible experience and I'm so glad we did it! Thank you Philipp and Florent!

An incredible, unforgettable experience!!

I brought my 8 year old son on a round trip from Paris by train in one day, in December. I was nervous it would be a long cold day, but no! Every minute was engaging, adventurous and compelling. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history and spoke excellent English. The gear they provided kept us warm and comfortable the entire time. We were never bored and we learned so much. I’m so glad we took a precious day away from Paris to experience the sites of D Day and the amazing history. We will never forget it!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience in our time at Bayeux. Philipe and Remy were the most wonderful guides. Knowledgeable, funny and brilliant drivers. Our experience visiting Normandy will never be forgotten, nor will the soldiers who sacrificed so much. Thank you Philipe and Remy.

Amazing!

An amazing tour. Philippe is skilled driver and knowledgeable. You must be in decent shape to ride the motorcycle at least on the back seat. Sidecar no issue. My wife rode there. He was flexible and took us places where the crowds do not go. Saw Omaha beach from a very different perspective and was able to go down the the docks in port Bassin. A great complimentary tour to our all day band of brothers tour. This was fun adventurous and informative. Highly recommend taking a chance. You will not be disappointed. A great life experience!

Amazing!

We had such a wonderful time. Remy, our tour guide was amazing. He is very knowledgeable and fun. Although it’s raing but did not make our tour any less enjoyable. Remy provided all the riding gears and rain gears. So rain or shine would be just fine. Great memory for the trip.
