Wonderful bike tour!
We had a great tour with Hugo. He is very knowledgeable and, in addition to having a great time biking through scenic areas, villages and rural areas, we learned a lot! Hugo was very attentive to our needs. The bikes are great, the power assist was very helpful on a few hills.

One of the best tours we have experienced
We have been on many Viator tours and this was one of the best. We not only saw the beaches and the bunkers, but David, our tour guide, made the American experience so much more impactful through his detailed accounts of the invasion and his stories about the heroism and sacrifices of the soldiers who fought to gain a foothold in their efforts to liberate Normandy. We also went to another Normandy beach tour, but this one was more engaging and better presented.

Day Tour with Lawrence
Lawrence said he created this tour to highlight two areas he loves in France. I highly recommend it if you don’t have time for the Normandy or Paris tour from the dock in La Havre. You’ll enjoy both towns and Lawrence is knowledgeable and passionate about the area.

Matthew was a great tour...
Matthew was a great tour guide! His knowledge of and respect for the events of D-Day made the tour wonderful.
I do wish we would have had a little more time at a couple of the sights but that is to be exii of expected when you do a half day tour. My only recommendation is to do a whole day tour if you can. This tour was excellent for our situation!

Excellent Experience for quick half day tour!
The experience was fantastic! Antoine got very detailed which I wanted and answered all my questions about D-day the players, battles, weapons and impact it had on the men who fought as well as the macro picture of the war. His politeness, knowledge and enthusiasm was top notch! I would recommend this tour for casual observers or big time WW2 buffs.

A great way to experience D Day events on Utah, Gold, and the American cemetery
No other words than AMAZING! A private tour via motorcycle/sidecar made this adventure beyond words can even describe. Touring the countryside less travelled by tourists allowed one to understand the vast landscape covered by ground our troops endured. The detailed explanations of each days events during the invasion was to perfection. As we travelled with two teenagers it even kept them alive!!

Matt, our guide was...
Matt, our guide was incredible. His depth of knowledge, passion & storytelling abilities around all things DDay & WWll made for the best tour. He answered every question & provided perspective from all sides of the invasion. I highly recommend this tour & Matt if you plan a visit to Normandy.

A unique experience you won’t regret.
My husband and I had a great time. Remy is a personable and excellent tour guide and driver. We had a great time learning about the area and the history. This was a great way to travel to and through Honfleur and the countryside. Definitely the highlight of our vacation. Thank you, Remy. All of our Calvados made it home and intact!

Outstanding Tour
Fantastic tour…Helene, our guide for the day was amazing! She was so knowledgeable, happy, and enthusiastic about giving us a very comprehensive account of all the happenings on 6 June 1944! Our visit to Ste Mere-Église, Ponte du Hoc, the Landing Beaches - Utah and Omaha, and to the American Cemetery were all quite moving as we relived the landings and all that our Boys (US), not to forget the Brits and Canadians who landed at Gold, Juno and Sword (we did not visit these 3 beaches on this tour) went through just trying to make it ashore and capture the beachhead for follow on troops…WOW! Highly recommend this tour and if you get Helene as your guide, well you are lucky…she is great!

Highly recommend the tour & our guide ROMA
Our English guide Roma was excellent! She was very knowledgeable and knew how to tell the complex history in a way that was easy to understand. She was not only a great communicator but also a very friendly and lovely person! She drove us to places that would be hard to navigate on our own. I highly recommend Roma and the D-day tour.

Do not miss this experience!
Such an excellent experience! Highly recommend. Our guide was very knowledgeable and quite entertaining. Great experience for kids. I would not recommend for elderly since walking surfaces are uneven and the water in the (3) rivers can be deep (to the knees).

Great tour and guide!
We enjoyed our tour very much. The smaller group tours allow everyone the opportunity to ask questions and relay what the observe to the whole group. The guide was well versed in the history of the different sites and added details and tidbits of information that he knew would interest the different people in the tour. For those who don't speak French, our guide spoke very good English. I have recommended the experience to friends who are thinking of doing a guided tour in Normandy.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Normandy is home to iconic medieval monuments, World War II battle sites, and picturesque beach resorts, but with limited time, it’s best to focus on the highlights. Normandy half-day tours are an ideal choice for time-crunched travelers, but they are also a great way to get to know a city better or enjoy a memorable activity. Inject fun into your trip by opting for a unique transport method, such as a sidecar, WWII-era Jeep, or an e-bike. Combine a sightseeing tour with a cider tasting at a local winery, or join friends for an exciting scavenger hunt.
