This was a wonderful way to see the Normandy D-Day sites. My gentleman driver, Manuel, was knowledgeable with a quick wit. Manuel knew the best spots to take terrific shots with my camera- and he took some excellent photos of me as well. As a single traveler, it was refreshing to have someone to chat with- he spoke English fluently. It was fun to watch people's faces light up when they saw the motorbike and side car. I waved to them all and they returned the wave! This was a highlight of my trip- you should do it, too!

The vintage bikes were sure to please. My 10 and 13 year old Grandkids loved it. It was comfortable for the four of us. The guides were flexible to the weather and our train schedule from Paris. The guides also were concerned for our comfort as we stopped for rain gear change. The scenery is magnificent and the war information with a map to show where the landings took place was a good visual guide. I would do this trip again!

We had a wonderful time visiting the landing beaches and learning more about D-Day and the area with our tour guide. The side car was a great way to transport between sites and enjoy the lovely terrain that Normandy has to offer. We loved everything about this tour!

Booked at short notice and Thomas our guide was not only a very competant motorcyclist but a knowledable guide. We really enjoyed the tour as 'Wallace & Grommet' for the day. Well worth booking!

Thierry was our driver/guide. The sidecar ride was so much fun and Thierry was so knowledgeable about the history of all the sites we visited. Highly recommend!
