Exciting and relevant knowledge conveyed with humor and sense - We had a very lively and good trip around the city, which everyone liked. The guide was good at reviving the stories of Bayeux and over 1000 years of history in 2 hours - well done! Both teenagers and parents will recommend the trip!

A “must do” when visiting Bayeux - A thoroughly enjoyable and informative tour which set the scene for our time in Normandy and our base in Bayeux. Our guide Christele was truly excellent, so knowledgeable, and engaging with our group. The pace of the tour was perfect too. Definitely a tour to do if visiting Bayeux.

An engaging and humorous tour of beautiful Bayeux - Today I was part of a small group who was taken on a tour of beautiful Bayeux, by our guide Christele. The tour, which lasted slightly longer than the allocated, seemed to fly by and was both informative and interesting. There are so many high points not least about the common sayings (I could not repeat these) which can be attributed to the tanning process. Christele our guide was one of the best tour guides I have encountered. She was brilliant, delivering the information in a warm, humorous way that kept our attention, whilst at the same time, keeping an eye out for other pedestrians and cars on the narrow streets. We even had a quiz on the way back. Well worth participating in this tour. Colin
