5.00We met our guides at the train station for 1/2 day at Normandy. John and Remi allowed me to request the sites I was interested in, and then informed us the order we should proceed (it was a late start my fault). They got us to every place we requested lightning fast with their motorbikes— we always felt safe and it was a blast !! They were very knowledgable, told us great stories and humorous anecdotes. I wish I would have booked a full day or two with those guys — My wife, sister, and I all agreed it was the most enjoyable excursion we had in France — THANKS SO MUCH !!
Unique and total change of scenery

5.00Very nice experience. Our pilot guide was great. Already by his warm welcome that puts us at ease immediately, then by his comments and anecdotes, he guides us through the streets with passion and comfort to the sweet sound of Augustus' engine ( what a beautiful machine ). We haven't seen how much time has passed since that moment was so great. Thank you again to our pilot for this wonderful time. To do without hesitation.

5.00A great experience. Our pilot guides were passionate, professional and very attentive. The explanations were clear, interesting and they adapted to our children by involving them. It is a nice and original way to discover Deauville, in addition we had a beautiful sun! We liked it so much that we took a visit from Honfleur for the next day. We recommend this activity 100%! Many thanks to Thomas and Nicolas for this superb experience.
