Hold on tight and enjoy! - This sidecar tour was a priceless memory we will talk about for a long time. Remy’s presentation was outstanding. From prioritizing the tour from the start; to coming equipped with everything to make our ride enjoyable; to his deep knowledge and understanding of each aspect of the D-Day invasion, he nailed it. In our 4 hour tour he covered the Allies’ preparation, the movements of that fateful day as well as the days after June 6th. He led us to places not the average tourist would visit and guided us into a deeper understanding of D-Day.

Best Tour Ever! - Fabulous! Solo traveler, did the 7 hour tour with Remi. It was one of the best tours I have ever done. It rained off and on but we zipped all over the French countryside with our raincoats, helmets and visors. I feel like I saw everything I had on my list. Remi was like a walking encyclopedia! He answered all of my questions and told me all kinds of things I had never heard or read about D Day and the days that followed. I am eager to return home and dive deeper into the details of this incredible period in our history! I highly recommend Remi, and the 7 hour tour with Retro Tour. It is definitely worth the cost.

Sidecar Ride through Normandy - Wow, amazing, stunning, and iconic is the only way to sum up my day. This was by far the best and will be the most memorable tour. Remi took me on a seven hour tour and exceeded my expectations. Classic ride, great driver, covered a lot of ground, and Remi really knows his history. It felt like I was hanging out with a friend. To say I highly recommend is an understatement.

Best way to see Normandy - Amazing experience! Thomas, Philippe, and Remi were wonderful guides. This was our first trip to Normandy and I think this is the perfect way to see many of the sites. The sidecars are very fun - the guides are also extremely knowledgeable regarding the history you get to see. Would recommend this to anyone!

Great Fun and a Highlight of our Trip to France - My wife and I absolutely loved this tour — a great and unusual combination of on-site learning about the historic D-Day invasion along with scenic and adventurous zooming through and between the quaint Normandy coastal towns to see the various battle sites. Our motorcycle-driving tour guides, Phillip and Remi, were very knowledgeable and informative about D-Day but also personable and fun. The cycle sidecars were surprisingly comfortable and provided a great vantage point from which to soak in the beauty and historic backdrop of the Normandy area. Can't imagine any way we could have covered as much ground and seen so much in such a short time on our own or via any other tour, and certainly not while having so much fun along the way!
