Our Viator tour with...
Our Viator tour with Thierry was one of the highlights of our trip. My 12-year-old son and I explored the main Normandy World War II sites in a classic motorcycle sidecar, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Driving through the French countryside, along back roads and through small towns, was incredibly fun, and Thierry made the day even more special with his engaging personality and the way he tailored parts of the tour just for us. He gave us a personal, thoughtful tour of all the major sites and, through his guidance, helped us truly feel both the somberness and significance of the area while still making the experience exciting for both of us. It was meaningful, unforgettable, and a total blast.

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 Masterpiece of a Tour!
Matt went above and beyond all of our expectations in every way. His historical and military knowledge of D-Day is absolutely incredible, the result of interviews with first-hand witnesses - including Normandy locals and D-Day veterans - and rigorous academic study. It isn't all facts and figures, though. Matt's tour brings a very Human perspective of D-Day through masterful storytelling giving an immersive experience we've never seen anywhere else. The tour is clearly years in the making, and we are so proud that Matt continues his pursuit to keep our shared History of defending Freedom alive.

Outstanding tour. ...
Outstanding tour. Emanuel was a wonderful guide. So passionate and knowledgeable. Our group spanned from children as young as 9 to grandparents in their 80s. Emanuel crafted a tour that was perfect for everyone. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Great tour
This was a fabulous tour. While the weather wasn't fabulous, very wet and cold our guide Bryce was great! He was very knowledgeable and told us so many stories and we learned so much as we went on the tour. I would definitely recommend this tour especially if you have an interest in WW2 history.

This was an outstanding...
This was an outstanding tour with an excellent and well-informed guide (thank you Marian). We learned much and experienced much, and came away with a sense of awe and appreciation for what our young soldiers accomplished on June 6 and beyond. The visit to the cemetery was very moving. For those considering a shorter tour, we'd highly recommend this one - there was a lot of information packed into the trip.

Great way to explores Normandy
This was such a wonderful experience, I would love to recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy Bayeux countryside. It’s not physically challenging as I thought. Rather very relaxing and manageable ride. Our tour guide Theo was very nice and knowledgeable about the D-day and Normandy . We rode around the area and learned about the history. I cried at the Normandy memorial site. What a tour!

Great group tour
Bastian provided an absolutely amazing tour, making sure to take us to all the best tourist locations, giving wonderful historical background, and even providing personal recommendations for food options. Highly recommended! Thank you, Bastian, for a fantastic tour!

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.

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.

Unforgettable Sidecar Adventure in Le Havre!
I can’t recommend this sidecar motorcycle tour enough! From the moment we hopped into the new vintage sidecar, we knew we were in for something special. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable about Le Havre and its history, but also clearly passionate about sharing the beauty of the region.

Wonderful tour
This was a fantastic tour and our guide Miriam was wonderful. She allowed adequate time at each site to explore and explained the history of the area and what happened during D-Day really well. We didn’t have a lot of time to spend in the area, but thought this tour gave us quite a bit of perspective on the D-Day invasion. Would definitely recommend this tour.

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.
