Great D-Day Tour
This was a great day tour. Boy is very knowledgeable and obviously a lifelong learner. He will not talk your ear off, he’ll calmly guide you and answer questions, then bring up stories he has learned or been told by vets. My husband has done some reading so had plenty of questions—it made for a rich experience. Bring water with you, it’s a long day with a nice stop for lunch, but wished we had water with us!

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!

The tour was wonderful,...
The tour was wonderful, very complete, and the guide also made the effort to speak to us in Spanish, which we greatly appreciated. She also took us to the German cemetery, which was not originally included in the itinerary, because we were very interested in seeing it. She was delightful at all times, especially when she kindly offered to take family photos for us. We had a wonderful day — a totally recommendable experience.

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.

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.

DDay tour with Pascal-Highly recommend
Excellent tour! Our guide, Pascal was very knowledgeable, so interesting. We not only visited all the D-Day sites, but we were able to understand so much more from Pascal. The tour was amazing, moving, and the all day tour was the perfect length. Also, I had the best almond eclair at our lunch stop at a boulangerie.

Perfect day with Corrin to Mont St. Michel from Bayeux
Corrin (I hope I have her name correct) was excellent. She gave us an excellent tour to Mont St. Michel starting in Bayeux. She was so knowledgeable and patient with our small group of 8. I would highly recommend this tour. It’s a long day but very worth it! Leave by 8:00 and back by 16:00.

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.
