Our guide, Marie-Noel, was excellent. Very knowledgable and enthusiastic about the beautiful town of Bayeux and its history. We saw parts of the town we had not seen on previous visits. Highly recommended.

My husband and I did the tour with Christéle. She was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and cared about the city and its history. We even learned things about France that we didn't know despite our many previous visits. We recommend that you do this tour early in your visit to Bayeux.

Tour start dagelijks om 9:30uur bij de VVV. Niet boeken of reserveren. Dus lekker praktisch. Leuke rondleiding met een klein groepje. Veel te vertellen over vroeger maar ook hedendaagse zaken komen aan bod. Zeker de moeite waard.
