What To Expect
Bayeux
Your Gentleman Sider (guide/driver) will meet you with his vintage sidecar at the pickup location of your choice, or at the parking lot of the Bayeux Battle of Normandy Museum, or at the Bayeux bus station. He will help you gear up with helmets, gloves, and retro goggles before getting you settled in. There will, of course, be stops along the way to take breaks and capture photos.
Port-en-Bessin-Huppain
AMERICAN SECTOR OPTION *This stop may be excluded if your guide estimates that there is not enough time left.* Liberated on June 8th, 1944 by the 47th Royal Marines Commando during Operation Overlord, Port-en-Bessin became, as early as June 16th, the central hub of a pipeline network of approximately 120 km designed to supply the Allied armies with fuel. By the end of August 1944, this system was expanded through Operation PLUTO, which involved laying underwater pipelines between the Isle of Wight and Querqueville near Cherbourg.

5.00Great experience with a very knowledgeable guide. The sidecar took a lot of the walking out of visiting places.(for us the British sectors)

5.00Amazing experience! Lots of fun riding on the sidecar motorcycle. I always felt safe. Beautiful scenery! The tour guide, Phillip, was knowledgeable and had interesting stories straight from the veterans he has come to know. The grounds are stunning and it is a stark contrast to the battles that were fought there.
A must-do!

5.00This tour was amazing! Our guides Remmy and John were and absolute blast! taking us around the different sights explaining what went on there- just full of knowledge about the area. Riding in the side cars was a lot of fun for the family keeping the kids interested and enjoying the views. Even though we only had a couple hours it felt like we were able to do so much. Thanks again guys!

5.00Phillip is a great guide He is very knowledgeable and he can bring you to where you want within the time limit The car ride itself already with the while as you can cruise along the coastline Phillip will point you every point of interest along the road and explain every detail about the dday I pick 2hour trip for more flexibility but I’m sure a half day trip must worth every second of it! Highly recommend
We loved our tour! John,...

5.00This was a really fun trip! Remi is a terrific guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about WW2. We gained a lot of insight and saw specific sights which we would have missed on our own. The motorcycle/sidecar experience was new for us and he made us feel very safe. He’s a very good driver and the whole experience was wonderful!
Had a blast !!!

5.00We had the dynamic duo of Remi and Monty who were fabulous! There was a little snafu at pickup location, but that did not affect our adventure. We chose to explore Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery Normandy. Quite the adventure riding on the back of the motorbike with my hubby in the side car! My daughters loved it as well. A great 2 hours of exploring and learning more about the incredible feats that took place in this historic area. Don’t miss a chance to book with the dynamic duo! And Remi made the daughter’s heart swoon! And thanks, Remi, for the fabulous recommendation to the Bread Rolls restaurant in Bayeaux—delicious. Merci mille fois!
Unforgettable Experience
