The tour exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend. Covered over 2000 years of fascinating history in a fun way.

jrlagasse

The walking tour was excellent. Our guide, Christele, was very knowledgeable, patient, humorous and obviously very passionate about Bayeux. The 2-hour tour flew by and was by far the best walking tour we experienced on this trip. Highly recommend.

We booked a private tour through Christele. Her communications throughout the booking process were very efficient, warm and professional. We had one of the most delightful tours that we have EVER experienced throughout our extensive world travels. Marie-Noelle (we hope we are spelling her name correctly!) was an utter delight. Our tour was only for a two-hour duration but we would have happily spent several days with her! Her English was "parfait" and her vast scholarly, historic knowledge of the region coupled with her genuinely warm and welcoming spirit, humor, enthusiam and kindness provided us with an experience that we will treasure forever. THANK YOU! This tour is a "must" for anyone who visits Bayeux.

Fantastic tour by the warm and energetic Christèle. She gave us a great overview of Bayeux history as we walked, hitting all the local highlights. As a Bayeux native, she loves the town and knows all the present day and historical ins and outs. Definitely recommend. She also speaks perfect English so the tour was easy to understand.
