Traveller reviews
Awesome! I really enjoyed it and the tour guide/driver was very kind and knowledgeable concerning the history. I give it two thumbs up!
10/10, very interesting insights into local architecture and history that you don’t get on the beaten track. Wonderful English spoken. Definitely worth it, added to which a lovely apple juice was served!
I absolutely loved this tour. Bernard was the sweetest and the car was adorable. I would recommend 100000 times!!! Whenever I need to take my mind to a peaceful place I will think of this time when I was driving throughout the Normandy countryside and along the beaches.
First of all I love the cute convertible. It was very comfortable and the breeze was welcome. It was amazing how my tour guide introduced me to so many interesting places in Normandy. He is informative and insightful. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon. Highly recommended!
We had a brilliant time with our knowledgeable host Bernard, exploring Ouistreham in the classic Citroen Dyane, stopping at historical sites and landmarks. A very fun and enriching experience with not too much walking for those who like a leisurely pace. We highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Normandy. An afternoon well spent and a very memorable experience.
I had the best time on this tour. Bernard was the best guide and took me to so many places. I would definitely recommend if you want a relaxed tour of the little beach towns and some history about the architecture, city construction, and the influence of WWII on the towns. When a doctor, yoga instructor, etc., asks me to take my mind to a quiet place, I will think of this afternoon I spent on the tour. Driving to see where the countryside meets the Channel was so peaceful. I learned such a variety of things. I wish I could describe the harmony I felt with the wind blowing in my hair and driving in this adorable car. Thank you for the great tour, Bernard!!! :)
A wonderful journey around Normandy, in a neat vintage Citroën Dyanne, but better than that is Bernard, who is a fount of knowledge of the area. We went to places not seen by the average tourist, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Bernard.
Bernard was full of information, historical and architectural. The open-topped ride was comfortable and so much fun. I would recommend it everyone as a joyful way to see this area
