Be ready for an outdoor adventure. We rode all over the countryside but stopped for Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery.

We had an awesome tour with Thierry. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the venues we visited including the stops at Omaha Beach and the American Cemetary. Also, the experience riding through the beautiful French countryside on a motorcycle and sidecar was unforgettable. Even with a few raindrops, we had a terrific time and would highly recommend this tour!

The is one of the best things we did all week. It was absolutely magical. The guys are so kind and were so great with my kids. Both kids have been talking about it nonstop and thought it was so cool. My husband and I feel that it was worth every euro! Would definitely even do it again if we ever returned.

Manuel was exceptional. His personality was calm, fun, kind, he was an excellent driver, knew all about Normandy and D Day. The motorcycle took us through the country so we experienced small towns, farms, castles, neighborhoods. Really fun experience and a great way to learn a lot about the war and culture. We want to return and go on another trip with him! 10/10!
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thank you very much for your kind review, I will tell Manuel.
Best regards,
Thierry

Manuel was an excellent guide and driver: experienced, friendly, knowledgable, and a great sense of humor. Driving in the sidecar was exhilarating and novel. The Normandy tour of the beach and the cemetery was informative and done in a very respectful manner. Manuel’s time management was also excellent. Thank you for a most memorable experience.
Hartmut_S, Jul 2025
We were picked up by Manuel from the provider "Normandy Time Riders" on time at the meeting point in Bayeux. After a half-hour drive, we reached a stretch of D-Day beach where Manuel taught us many details about what happened in 1944 in easy-to-understand English. A lively and pleasant conversation developed. The visit to the American Soldiers Cemetery was also very impressive.
But the best part was the way to get around. With a sidecar as new, it went safely and well equipped over the picturesque roads of Normandy. Even a short rain shower could not spoil our fun thanks to the rainwear provided by the provider! We would book the tour again anytime!
