Great Tour - Very Informative and Personable
Our family had a great experience learning how, and seeing where, the events of D-Day unfolded. Humbling, but also encouraging hearing about some of the heroic stories and sobering to be walking the same grounds where it all took place. Our guide was the best providing new insights and we walked away with even more of an appreciation for everything that took place in Normandy. Bucket list tour.

Wonderful Experience & Great Guide
Comfortable van ride to the Normandy D-Day sites and cemetery. Our guide was incredibly knowledgable about not only the sites we visited but additional French and European history relevant to the region. Our guide even pointed out sites in Paris while headed out of and back into the city; also providing some recommendations and site-seeing tips. We learned so much about the D-Day sites; it was exactly what we wanted. Our guide also selected a wonderful lunch in a small seaside town near the battlefields.

Take this tour!
This tour is a unique experience, for sure! The roads traveled to Omaha Beach were through pretty countryside. Bring a scarf for your neck and face because the wind is quite chilly while riding on the motorcycle. Remy and Philip were excellent guides with interesting information about D-Day and the cemeteries. Highly recommended.

Amazing historical tour of D Day following the Band of Brothers.
Sophie was so knowledgeable and gave the most amazing tour. It exceeded our expectations. She was able to describe the location of the troops along with strategic plans and details about the landing and paint a vivid picture of what they experienced on that day. We toured Omaha and Utah beach along with the American Cemetery where she explained how many troops were buried there along with those that were still missing in action. We loved the Marmion farmhouse where American troops stopped and took pictures and we were able to see where they actually stood. We cannot recommend this tour enough! As we rode from town to town Sophie answered all of our questions about the area, the French resistance, even the local cuisine. Her wonderful personality was one of the highlights of the trip!

Mont St Michel with HQ Company Tours
We had a wonderful tour of Mont St Michel with Michael from HQ Company tours. He picked us up in Bayeux, drove us in a comfortable minivan to Mont St Michel and dropped us back in Bayeux. The tour was 8 hours in total. Mickael was a well informed, engaging and polite tour guide who gave us a great tour of Mont St Michel. I would recommend this tour highly and especially, Mickael.

Excellent tour, highly recommended
Excellent tour, brilliantly handled by Nad. Instructions from Ophorus were clear and accurate about meeting places and what to expect in the tour. Nad was extremely informative and passionate about Mont Saint-Michel, as well as Normandy in general. Very highly recommend this tour.

Can’t recommend more!
If I could give Laurent 10/5 for this tour I would. To be able to provide us with information/knowledge from 8:30am through 6pm, to keep everyone’s interest, to provide excellent progress of the events through the day, to support us through wind and rain, and to be such an enjoyable person was fabulous. Highly recommended!!

D Day Omaha Beach Tour
We booked the Omaha Tour for 20th Sept 2025. Pascal our guide from the company Ophorus was outstanding.
His knowledge is excellent and passes this on in a very interesting and friendly manner with some humour thrown in.. We were a family of four from the UK. It was a pleasure to meet Pascal and recommend this tour to anyone thinking of doing this tour.
Stephen, Lynne, Bobby and Debs.

Once in a lifetime experience - worth it!
This was an amazing experience. Hugo was friendly and knowledgeable. Just enough history with a lot of riding. We got to see everything we wanted at our pace. It really does gives you an experience that is totally different than driving to Omaha Beach from Bayeux.
One of the best excursions we’ve done in France or on any vacation for that matter. Would highly recommend!

My husband and I had a...
My husband and I had a great experience with this day long Normandy Beaches . The meet up with our tour guide was easy. Naomi was friendly and full of information. She gave full , interesting information to paint the picture of the planning and execution of D-Day.
The lunch/museum stop could have been longer - it was hard to see both the museum and have a meal as well.
We enjoyed the day- it is a lot of information to take in but well worth the time. Thank you for a great tour Naomi.

Tour perfectio!
Phillipe, was our historian, affable experienced rider and WW2 renactor, Remey our sociable, knowlegeable second rider. They we super nice to our 12 year old granddaughter who experienced her first motorcycle ride.
We would do this ride again. The tour adds a lot of perspective to ones knowledge, the views as a result, even more breathtaking, and the bikes almost allow one to see in the minds eye the e ents that unfolded there. Our rider/guides the perfect topping!
We've taken tours at all the other major spots we have visited in France. This one I think we'll remember and talk about the most. If we could make it a six star review due to Phillpe and Remey, we would! (Remy, we already visited two of the places you suggested on the way home, merci!) We've already recommended to a friend and family member that they need to do this!

10/10 Experience
Our tour guide (V) was spectacular. She was knowledgeable and personable and paced the tour perfectly. We never felt rushed but it also never lagged or got boring. We enjoyed Mont Saint Michel and I felt like the abbey and village are among the most magical sites in the world. Absolutely recommend. One thing to note...there are a LOT of stairs, like a crazy number of stairs. Still recommend the tour company and the site as a 10/10 must do if you are in France.
