Traveler Reviews

What a great way to get an overview of the the Normandy beaches and countryside. The motorcycle easily negotiated the narrow streets and country lanes for a totally different view of the region. Thomas, our driver, came with all the gear - including warm bomber jackets ! His personality, skillful driving and knowledge of the area made this a memorable day.

We had an excellent time on this tour. We loved being zoomed around by our amazing tour guide Roman. He was very friendly and was an amazing human being. The sites we saw were exactly what we wanted to see and we weren’t bogged down by a big tour group- it was just us! Definite VIP experience. Riding around the area in a sidecar and motorcycle was worth it in itself.

Booked this tour for the Saturday after D Day events. We had a great day with Thomas on his fantastic motorcycle- even through the rainy part.
