My husband and I enjoyed...
Catherine_N, Dec 2024
My husband and I enjoyed our walking tour of historic Bayeux. Our guide provided us with interesting history of the town and was responsive to our questions.
Fantastic Tour!

We had an excellent experience on our private walking tour with Christele. She was so knowledgeable about Bayeux and shared so much information with us. It was the day before the 80th anniversary of D-day so there were some obstacles in town, but Christele took the time to find ways around and still give us a wonderful tour. She even finagled our way into a private manor where she knew the caretakers and was able to show us the beautiful garden and a portion of the residence. It was such a treat. We highly recommend booking your tour with Christele!
Very worthwhile activity

Christele was wonderful. She was so knowledgeable and friendly. Two hours went by in no time. Definitely worth the time and money.
A wonderful experience on this private historic tour of Bayeux.

We had a great experience on the private walking tour of historic Bayeux with Marie-Noelle. She was punctual, informative, and very friendly. She is a resident of Bayeux and greeted friends and shop owners along the tour, and she gave us suggestions for things to see and places to eat after our tour. I highly recommend this tour.
The attention to detail… Bringing both present day and historical Bayeux to life.
Thomas_M, Dec 2024
The guide was local and most enthusiastic about the tour… great energy with her presentation. Her suggestions (restaurants and museums) were spot on.
