Our half day with Remy, our pilot, was engaging and fun! He drove safely from the Le Havre cruise port over the Normandy bridge and facilitated our accessibility getting in/out of the vehicle at each stop - a true gentleman! We visited a cidery, farmers’ market, iconic cathedrals and historical sites featuring amazing venues for photos and to breathe in the scenery. He willingly made a stop in Le Havre before returning us to the cruise port. This was a once-in-a lifetime, wonderful day!jodyd941

False advertising: Shows a teaser price of €269 per person, but charges a single rider double the cost when booking. ACTUAL COST IS €540 REGARDLESS. Thanks for getting my hopes up and wasting my time.

What a wonderful experience. We booked through Tripadvisor, but communicated directly with Thomas, CEO at Retro Tour Normandy. He was very responsive and helpful with any questions I had. Our driver, Remi, was OUTSTANDING. Knowledgeable, personable, safety conscious, and an overall fun ‘guy’ to be with. The drive through the countryside was amazing, with various stops to experience the beauty of the French countryside without the hassle of shoulder to shoulder tourists. Highly recommend this tour - for both young and old.christinelD4140OV

We had one final day in Normandy and wanted to explore in an upfront and personal way and we couldn't have found a better way to go and better tour hosts than Thomas and Alex. They were kind, fun, knowledgeable and the experience of stopping at many sites of interest while experiencing the joy of riding in the sidecar and seeing the beautiful countryside is unmatched. Even when it rained for about 20 minutes during the tour - they made it fun! The sidecar was comfortable, they provide you with all you need for warmth & safety. Just sit back and enjoy. Thank you for the best day.
