What To Expect
Bayeux
Our starting point next to the tourism office.
Omaha Beach
Stand on the sands where history was made and gain a profound understanding of the pivotal events that unfolded at Omaha Beach. On June 6, 1944, this iconic stretch of coastline became the battleground for one of the most consequential military operations in history: the D-Day invasion. As part of Operation Overlord, American troops stormed ashore under a hail of enemy fire, facing daunting obstacles and heavy casualties. Yet, their unwavering resolve and extraordinary bravery paved the way for the liberation of Europe. Today, Omaha Beach stands as a hallowed ground, a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by thousands of Allied soldiers who fought and died here. With its pristine sands and serene waters juxtaposed against the haunting remnants of war, Omaha Beach offers visitors a solemn opportunity to reflect on the price of freedom and the enduring legacy of those who gave their all for it.

5.00We had an awesome tour with Thierry. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the venues we visited including the stops at Omaha Beach and the American Cemetary. Also, the experience riding through the beautiful French countryside on a motorcycle and sidecar was unforgettable. Even with a few raindrops, we had a terrific time and would highly recommend this tour!

5.00Manuel picked us up right on time right where we had suggested! He was also responsive on the app. We had an absolute riot on that motorcycle/sidecar! The weather was amazing and Manuel was super knowledgeable with the sites we visited. I had my 12 year old daughter and she kept looking at me and just smiling! Would definitely recommend! I loved being able to smell the countryside on the way to the war sites.
With the sidecar team to the D-Day beaches of Normandy - a unique experience!

5.00We were picked up by Manuel from the provider "Normandy Time Riders" on time at the meeting point in Bayeux. After a half-hour drive, we reached a stretch of D-Day beach where Manuel taught us many details about what happened in 1944 in easy-to-understand English. A lively and pleasant conversation developed. The visit to the American Soldiers Cemetery was also very impressive. But the best part was the way to get around. With a sidecar as new, it went safely and well equipped over the picturesque roads of Normandy. Even a short rain shower could not spoil our fun thanks to the rainwear provided by the provider! We would book the tour again anytime!

5.00My family and I had an absolutely fantastic time on this tour with Manuel and Thierry! They were warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable—true pros who made the experience both fun and fascinating. Out of all the tours we did during our 10-day adventure in France, this one was hands down our favorite. We can’t recommend it—or this wonderful company—highly enough!
Must do!

5.00The is one of the best things we did all week. It was absolutely magical. The guys are so kind and were so great with my kids. Both kids have been talking about it nonstop and thought it was so cool. My husband and I feel that it was worth every euro! Would definitely even do it again if we ever returned.

5.00What a wonderful, fun thing to do and worth every cent. Dont be worried about the safety side of things as its completely safe. My wife had never been on a motorbike let alone ever put on a helmet and she had a ball. Thierry was alot of fun and a nice person who took us alone side streets that you would never know. Lots of winding country lanes and roads so you never get up any real speed so you feel completly safe. We went on a chilly November Day and never felt cold at all. Overall i would fully recommend this adventure to everyone. Alex and Cath from Australia
