Even better than I hoped!
Our guide, Michel, was a fabulous teacher. He knows the history, in depth, and with great breadth. Most important: he has the gift of conveying the stories behind and about the Battle of Normandy and the D Day landings that make those events meaningful in the way that only things we understand can be.

Great Small Group Tour of Mont St. Michel!
We had Arthur as our tour guide of Mont St. Michel and he did an excellent job of giving us the historical background needed to fully appreciate our visit to the site. His knowledge of Mont St. Michel and the surrounding countryside was truly astounding and he really made our visit very interesting. It is an amazing place to visit!

Tour - Juno Beach
Our tour guide, Remy, was exceptional. His historical knowledge was very detailed and he combined the factual history with many interesting and poignant stories. The tour was also well paced, and the nine hours flew by. I would recommend this tour and we will be back to take others. This was a moving and enjoyable experience all round.

A sensitive caring guide who understands the emotional weight of the stories he is telling
Boy is exceptional. If you want a sensitive and caring guide who has all the technical information (dates/numbers/battle fronts) but who grounds it all in personal stories…many, many times…of people he has actually met and talked to (yes - veterans who are in their 90’s) he is your man. The tour is unrushed but complete. He allows you time to absorb what you are seeing and is sensitive to what you are feeling. And there is a lot to feel on this tour. He took us to a great diner for lunch, answered all out questions, and generally was receptive. And something he did that the other tour guides cannot do…took us into some private places (he had the keys!) - we saw the living quarters of where the German officers lived during the occupation including murals on the walls drawn the the German soldiers of life in the barracks. He is a fantastic guide and we felt genuinely blessed to have him.

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.

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.

Tips for visiting Mont St. Michel
Ophorous provides the abbey ticket and transportation. Our trip driver/guide Valentin explained that due to crowds Go to the Abbey at the top first, while not busy, then after stop at view points for pictures, then shop at village shops and stop for lunch as the place explodes with tourists coming in, and lastly go out onto the sand if low tide, and get photo ops. It was a great tip, and then you can walk back and cut over on the right side dirt path to pass by the sheep for awesome pics on the way back to the meeting point.

Unbelievable Experience in Normandy!
Our day touring Normandy with Raphaelle was absolutely unforgettable! She was extremely pleasant, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing historical insights along with personal and unique stories that truly brought the sites to life.
She went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything on our list, even staying past our scheduled time (due to traffic)so nothing was missed. We had 4 children in our group, and she was wonderful with them, speaking to them at their level, keeping them engaged, and making the experience exciting for all ages.
Her passion for the region and dedication to her guests shone through in every moment. We could not have asked for a better guide and highly recommend her to anyone visiting Normandy. A truly 5-star experience!

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!

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.
