Awesome! I really enjoyed it and the tour guide/driver was very kind and knowledgeable concerning the history. I give it two thumbs up!
I am glad you enjoyed the tour and the history of the area. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I have also spend a great time together with you.
What a beautiful experience! The Dyane was a reference for my wife and a discovery for me. What a pleasure to "drive a car" again. It must be said that Bernard, our driver, is a big part of it. After 3 minutes of conversation, you feel like you have known him forever because he knows how to create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. A passionate and captivating guide and storyteller, Bernard introduces you to the little stories that make up the big one. Time flies and the 3 hours pass at an incredible speed. Once back, we received a list of places worth visiting as well as some very good addresses. I would do it again without hesitation for the pleasure of driving in the company of an exceptional host!
Un très bel avis qui me touche beaucoup. Cela a été également un plaisir pour moi de vous faire découvrir le chemin mémoriel du débarquement sur les plages de Sword Beach. Vous êtes un couple très sympathique et vos connaissances de la seconde guerre mondiale ont permis un échange riche et de très bons moments de partage. Revenez quand vous voulez, la Dyane et moi vous attendons...
A very pleasant and interesting tour of less touristic places of Normandy. We really enjoyed the ride with the very likeable Bernard in the old 2-CV!
