Unique experience. My grandson loved it. What teenager doesn’t want to do 50 on a motorcycle! Guide was well informed so the history information was really good. Countryside is beautiful.

    John was our rider. He had great wit and confidence. His knowledge of the history of the places we visited was excellent. I would highly recommend this tour and I plan on coming back to visit the other sectors.

    Phenomenal Step Into History

    Megan_A, Apr 2026
    How can I even begin to describe what a phenomenal tour this was! Talk about stepping back into history - Our guides, Phillip, John and Thomas, brought the beaches and scenery of Normandy to life. And the sidecars were just plain fun! Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for active adventure on their travels.

    Heaven on wheels in Normandy

    Theresa_S, Apr 2026
    This is one of the most amazing experiences I have been fortunate to have been able to enjoy. The ride in the sidecar was absolutely exhilarating Remi or Driver and Host was full of history and stories and humor, and he took really really good care of us don’t hesitate book it.

    Amazing Experience

    So fun! Guides were so kind and very knowledgeable with history. They also were very sweet to help us find a family member that is buried at The American Cemetery. Beautiful scenery and a memorable experience we’ll cherish!

    Exceeded Expectations

    Cliff_D, Aug 2025
    This 2-hour tour was exceptional in every way. Wish we could have booked a longer one. Phillip, Thomas and Remy were the perfect guides; prompt, courteous, adaptive, informative, pleasant and accommodating! We started our vacation in Scotland, traveled to London and then on to Paris. This excursion at the end of our journey was the all-time family favorite given the uniqueness of it and the genuine kindness of these three personable men. We couldn't have asked for a better experience to suit our history buff crew, and the sidecar experience was exciting as we rolled thru the quaint and charming towns. It exceeded our expectations and we are happy to leave them this glowing review. My husband Cliff commented that they represented the company exceptionally well and that given the opportunity, we'd book again. Don't hesitate to try this. There's not a better way to experience this historic event - D-Day. Respectfully, Cliff and Sylvia

    Thrilling and Chilling

    Terence_B, Jul 2025
    This is a great way to viscerally experience the Normandy countryside (whizzing through it) AND to get a personalised tour of the key D-Day sites. We thoroughly enjoyed the bikes (heads up: the guys don't potter around, it's a proper quick ride) and the passion and insights they had around the events of June 6th, 1944 were informative and sobering. In summary, the bikes are thrilling, and the events chilling, but as a way to cram a lot into 2 hours, this would be very hard to beat.

    Such a great tour

    Amelia_V, Jul 2025
    Such a fun tour! Super knowledgeable and the side cars were awesome. My tour was private and my family got to decide where and what we saw of Normandy! Super personalized, I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting and wanting something to do!

    Wonderful unique experience for family. Wife and I rode on the back and one kid in each sidecar. Drivers were experienced motorcycle riders.

    Awesome experience !!

    cheryle_d, Oct 2024
    Michael and Flo were exceptional !!!!! Both were so knowledgeable regarding the beaches and helped us visualize what happened on that historical day. We traveled that day so we all were stressed and overwhelmed , however, our adventure with them made us forget all of our negative travel experiences. It was amazing.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Thank you for your fantastic feedback! It’s great to know they helped turn your day around after a stressful start. We hope to welcome you back for more amazing experiences in Normandy!🏍💨

    INCREDIBLE TOUR WITH INCREDIBLE GUIDE

    jeffery_t, Aug 2024
    Our guide Phillipe was Knowledgeable, personable and engaging. Gave us a thorough tour of Omaha Beach and the US cemetary. The hilight was the stories of just some of heroes buried there. Highly recommend. AND riding in a motorcycle and sidebar was super cool!

    Tres Magnifique!

    greg_f, Aug 2024
    Fantastic way to see Normandy and experience the history. the guides are fantastic and own a wealth of knowledge to share. highly recommended!

    Unforgettable Tour and Experience

    Lori_M, Jun 2024
    Our pilot Thomas made this experience unforgettable. Riding on his army green bike and side car made our tour as authentic as possible. Thomas answered all of our questions as we safely rode around the area. When booking your tour look for the army green side car - you won’t be disappointed!

    great tour

    Carole_T, May 2024
    We had a fantastic time on our tour. Our drivers Philippe and Tomas were great at showing us around, and Philippes knowledge of the d day history was astounding. Highly recommend this tour, a highlight of our trip to France

    Topissime

    ISABELLE_D, Aug 2024
    Circuit découverte au top avec de vrais passionnés pour l histoire et cette région. Le duo Thomas /Thomas est complémentaire et très à l’écoute. On ne peut que conseiller ce moment d évasion ,déçu de n’avoir pris que 2h de visite.
