Nearest tour - Manuel picked us up right on time right where we had suggested! He was also responsive on the app. We had an absolute riot on that motorcycle/sidecar! The weather was amazing and Manuel was super knowledgeable with the sites we visited. I had my 12 year old daughter and she kept looking at me and just smiling! Would definitely recommend! I loved being able to smell the countryside on the way to the war sites.

With the sidecar team to the D-Day beaches of Normandy - a unique experience! - 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!

History and Motorcycle 😃 - We had a great time. It was fun to ride with Thierry on the motorcycle to the different sites. He provided a lot of historic background and answered all our questions. I would definitely book it again.

Highly Recommend! - My family and I had an absolutely fantastic time on this tour with Manuel and Thierry! They were warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable—true pros who made the experience both fun and fascinating. Out of all the tours we did during our 10-day adventure in France, this one was hands down our favorite. We can’t recommend it—or this wonderful company—highly enough!

Must do! - 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.

Safe and alot of fun. A must do in Normandy - What a wonderful, fun thing to do and worth every cent. Dont be worried about the safety side of things as its completely safe. My wife had never been on a motorbike let alone ever put on a helmet and she had a ball. Thierry was alot of fun and a nice person who took us alone side streets that you would never know. Lots of winding country lanes and roads so you never get up any real speed so you feel completly safe. We went on a chilly November Day and never felt cold at all. Overall i would fully recommend this adventure to everyone. Alex and Cath from Australia
