A must do in Normandy - If you are looking at this tour and you are having some doubts, don’t it was one of the most fun days that we’ve had. Terry picked us up and we were with him for the next so many hours he was fantastic. He was fun to be with. And he was very knowledgeable ! He is an excellent driver we felt extremely safe with him at the wheel by the end of the day, we actually felt like we were old friends!

Relaxed, fun, knowledgeable tour with Thierry - Thierry was very nice, knowledgeable, fun to be with, easy to talk to, relaxed, helpful, and a good driver! Our tour covered many areas, but it was relaxed (not rushed) and you were able to ask any question you would like.

Our Viator tour with... - Our Viator tour with Thierry was one of the highlights of our trip. My 12-year-old son and I explored the main Normandy World War II sites in a classic motorcycle sidecar, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Driving through the French countryside, along back roads and through small towns, was incredibly fun, and Thierry made the day even more special with his engaging personality and the way he tailored parts of the tour just for us. He gave us a personal, thoughtful tour of all the major sites and, through his guidance, helped us truly feel both the somberness and significance of the area while still making the experience exciting for both of us. It was meaningful, unforgettable, and a total blast.

A great way to experience D Day events on Utah, Gold, and the American cemetery - No other words than AMAZING! A private tour via motorcycle/sidecar made this adventure beyond words can even describe. Touring the countryside less travelled by tourists allowed one to understand the vast landscape covered by ground our troops endured. The detailed explanations of each days events during the invasion was to perfection. As we travelled with two teenagers it even kept them alive!!

10000% recommend! - Manuel was unbelievable! If you are looking for a unique and memorable experience, than I would recommend this tour to you! My husband and I had the most incredible time touring landmarks and sites in the sidecar. Manuel talked with us the whole time and shared stories about what happened in Normandy during WW2. This was such a somber and beautiful experience and I hope everyone who comes to Normandy will get a chance to see it with Manuel!

This is a MUST book!!! - Where to begin about this experience… this will forever be an amazing memory! Myself, my husband, and my mother all did this together and we all were so happy we did! My husband said it was the best thing he’s ever done in Europe (and I agree!). Manuel and Thierry were SUPER tour guides and drivers - extremely friendly, hilarious, and very knowledgeable about all of the sites. We all learned so much! It was the perfect mix of history, respect, and levity. You could tell through talking with them that they really put in a lot of thought and effort into these tours. I really cannot say enough great things about them! Getting the unique experience of traveling to these sites on beautiful back roads through picturesque villages on a motorcycle/in a sidecar was an unforgettable experience. I will recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

A unique alternative to your standard tour. - A unique & memorable excursion with Manuel. The motorcycle sidecar tour was much more than an ordinary tour. From the passenger seat behind Manuel or in the sidecar you got to fully appreciate the French countryside “up close and personal”, the cool breeze, the scent of cut grass. We stopped at German fortifications overlooking Omaha Beach, went down to Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery and several stops along the way. At each of these stops Manuel displayed his historical knowledge along with personal family experiences from the invasion. My wife and I (75yrs old) would highly recommend this unique experience.

Interesting historical tour and a fun way to travel - We had an excellent tour guide, he made the day a fun event. The motorbike and side car was a great way to travel around the Normandy coast line, travelling on country back roads. I have to say, we were very lucky with the September weather.
