From someone who loves Old Cars, taking the tour in a such a beloved, essential and stereotypical French classic car really sets the mood and state of mind when visiting the many historical Normandy sites. Bernard also has an excellent grasp of the local history which makes the tour so exciting. Thank you Bernard, I would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to do something different, off the beaten path and for a good price.

I struggled to find a tour from Bayeux to Omaha Beach at first, as many tour companies are currently not operating (or not operating on weekends). Finally I came across Normandy Sightseeing Tours and I'm very glad I joined their half-day tour to Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach and the American cemetery. Guide Adrien was very knowledgeable and friendly, and conducted the tour in both French and perfect English. We were a small group of just three people, so there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions. We also had a bit of free time to walk around and take pictures in Omaha Beach and the cemetery, which I appreciated.
