(23)

The Normandy American Heroes team chose to create its own page to pay homage to those who fought and suffered during the Second World War, to honor the sacrifices made and educate younger generations on the meanings of courage, competence and devotion to duty. People need to perceive how Normandy - France was before, during and after World War II. Normandy American Heroes will focus on individual incidents and experiences that occurred, rather than attempting a complete narrative history.

Another great review of Normandy American Heroes classic A La Carte 100 days Normandy campaign tours!

Honor Normandy American Heroes

My partner and I booked two full days of Normandy American Heroes tours with owner Rudy Passera.

Rudy is very knowledgeable and passionate about D-Day/WW2 history. He brought the experiences of American Heroes and our allies to life.

I will always remember the respect and honor Rudy showed, as he walked us through the American cemetery. He explained the beautifully unique headstones and how to learn about each fallen hero.

Rudy picked us up at our Bayeux hotel on both days. He took beautiful pictures of us at different sites throughout our time with him and made sure we had enough time to absorb what we were seeing and learning about.

He even helped us get a dinner reservation at a fine restaurant that was fully booked!

I have a much deeper knowledge and appreciation of Normandy American Heroes, thanks to Rudy.

The experience was worth every penny—don’t hesitate to book with Rudy!

Needless to say that my new clone, Lisa is an added value for Normandy American Heroes with upcoming challenges for her next year!

Great Experience - Will Never Forget

My husband and I have had traveling to France and visiting Normandy on our bucket list for many years.

We felt a private tour would be the very best way to gain the ultimate experience, and we were right.

Normandy American Heroes was top-notch from start to finish. We easily booked our trip and connected several times with Myles and Lisa.

Talk about the perfect guide - Lisa knocked it out of the park. Her heartfelt desire to tell the stories of the people and their bravery, brought the history to life.

Our tour took us from Omaha Beach, Utah, Pointe du Hoc, Sainte Marie du Mont & the Normandy American Cemetery.

I would highly recommend this tour & tour group - especially Lisa, we loved her passion to never forget and to honor these men & women. Thank you.

Another great review of a WWII History and Loire Valley heritage tour!

Five star bucket list experience

A trip to the WWII beaches of Normandy has long been on my bucket list. In doing my research I was fortunate to discover Normandy American Heroes, owned and operated by Mr. Rudy Passera.

Mr. Passera developed an itinerary around our timeline (six days) and interests, was our expert guide and made sure we were taken care of from the time we were picked up at our Paris hotel to the time we returned to the airport.

While the focus is on WWII, about which he is exceptionally knowledgeable, he also shares insights into French culture and cuisine. All of the included hotels, meals and excursions were first rate, and several were quite unique.

My traveling companions and I left feeling we received superior value for our investment, enhanced knowledge and an exceptional experience.

If you go, be sure to pack shoes that allow you to traverse various terrains as going with Rudy out onto the beaches is integral to this experience.

This was a five star trip and one I would highly recommend to anyone with an interest in WWII history.

Another great review from guest who took the one day D-Day tour per their short time in Normandy

Bayeux Bonanza

Booking the full-day trip w NAH was a delight, with regular email updates (mostly from Lisa) as the date approached.

Guide Pierre picked up the 4 of us at our hotel in Bayeux, and provided a comfortable ride to Utah Beach.

Our itinerary from there was Pont du Hoc, Omaha Beach, and the American cemetery. Even at age 28, Pierre was a wealth of knowledge and interactive education from start to finish.

In the “Above and beyond” arena, Lisa graciously shipped my wandering raincoat to our home in Arkansas.

One suggestion: Although the ordered picnic lunch was tasty, we would have been happy to pay a bit more to experience a local restaurant. That said, we would engage NAH again for other tours.

Another great review of our new team member Lisa!

A wonderful tour and company

My husband and I did a private one day tour of Utah and Omaha beaches as well as Pointe du Hoc and the American cemetery.

Our guide Lisa Marie was wonderful. She was knowledgeable about the area history and events surrounding the Normandy offensive but she also shared stories about little known events and people making the visit even more interesting.

Because we had limited time in Normandy, we are so glad we decided to take this tour. We saw so much more and gained a better understanding of events and the history than if we had tried to tour on our own.

Lisa Marie was an amazing guide and all our interactions with the company were always well organized and professional.

We highly recommend Lisa Marie and Normandy American Heroes.

Another great review of Lisa, leader of NAH D-Day tours!

Heavy and beautiful day in Normandy

We decided to do a private tour, 4 of us and well worth it. We were picked up and dropped off at the front door of our hotel. Lisa as our tour guide was outstanding! Lisa also made sure to accommodate a friend who had a gluten allergy and even brought us to a supermarket, was such an experience from the states.

Right from our first conversations with Rudy and Myles everything was seamless. Myles explained what the whole entire day would include and we couldn’t have been happier. Our driver Aurélien was awesome. We felt very safe with his driving skills and he even stopped at a full-service gas station where we could use the toilets in get food.

This was definitely on my husband’s bucket list and I’m so happy that we were able to go and experience such an awesome day.

Thank you again to Rudy and his awesome team. We will have this lasting memory forever. I wish we could give you 10 stars. I would highly recommend.

Vlad de la Lune de Sang was the greatest companion I ever had who saved my life. He had a great life with Barbie... and miss both of them

With my mum and spouse we had a last walk with him and Barbie just before saying goodbye to him, he passed away peacefully in my arms. What a tough decision....

Another great review of Normandy American Heroes guest of one of our iconic European tours!

A once in a lifetime experience

My son, husband and I traveled with Normandy American Heroes for the 10 day “From Normandy to Eagles Nest tour”. We chose them after extensive research of the many tour companies that offer Normandy tours, and we are so happy we did.

Our initial contact was with Myles, who was a great help in picking the itinerary that fit our interests. After confirming our tour, Rudy Passera, the owner, was easily accessible with all our questions and gave suggestions to simplify our arrival and departure.

Once we arrived, we were greeted by Pierre who spent the next 10 days giving us an experience we could have never imagined. Once we met up with him, we never had to worry about another thing. The vehicle, accommodations and restaurants added a whole other level of enjoyment to our excursion. There were no lines, and he took care of every detail. From a very personalized, skilled and in-depth perspective, Pierre created a storyline that made every historical account deeply detailed and illuminating. Incredible countless details and stories came to life. While being immersed in the European theatre of D-Day to the capture of Eagle’s Nest, everyday became another exciting experience.

We felt safe and well cared for during the entirety of our adventure. Besides providing a spectacular historical tour, Pierre was a fun and enjoyable travel companion. We would certainly recommend Rudy, Pierre and Normandy American Heroes to anyone looking for a uniquely special World War II journey.

Chambord is unique and one of the reasons Normandy American Heroes takes its guests there! In the 16th and 17th centuries Francois 1er, Henry II and Louis XIV came to stay, along with their courts, to enjoy hunting, to dazzle the guests. It’s one of the Renaissance’s most amazing constructions. Built to glorify Francois 1er from 1519, it is above all a work of genius, the result of a collaboration between the best French and Italian artists l, architects and Master Masons. Among the incredible work of art inside is the famous double spiral staircase undoubtedly inspired by Leonardo da Vinci located at the centre of the keep!

Another great review of Lisa, NAH D-Day tour guide!
Visit Normandy and gravesite of family member.
September 2024 My husband had always wanted to visit the burial site of his great uncle and learn about his experience at Normandy. My daughter booked a private tour with Normandy American Heros and gave them the information we had about my husband’s uncle. We were picked up by Lisa and her driver and taken out for a day filled with information and wonderful sites. Lisa would tell us about events that occurred at multiple sites and then we were given time to explore. Our day concluded with a visit to the American Soldier’s Cemetery where we were escorted to our uncle’s grave. They were very gracious and we are so glad we were able to have this experience. I would definitely recommend Lisa and Normandy American Heros to anyone looking for a well informed visit to Normandy.

Another great review of a European tour postponed due to Covid, Normandy American Heroes makes it happen!

Fabulous 6 day private trip to Normandy and Belgium

I would very highly recommend doing a private tour with Rudy and Normandy American Heroes.

We did a 6 day private tour in July 2024 with the following itinerary: Meet in Paris at CDG, drive to La Roche Gutyon, 3 nights in Normandy area (based in Bayeux), drive to Reims, 2 nights in Belgium (based in Bastogne), drive to Luxembourg American Cemetery, final night in Paris.

I was with my 85 year old dad and 29 year old son. In a word, the trip was awesome. It was everything we hoped for and more. I have no hesitation recommending Rudy and I would suggest not wasting time looking around for others - he was awesome and I could not imagine a better situation.

As a back story on this, this was a "bucket list" item for my Dad and probably his last overseas trip. It was scheduled for spring 2020, but then Covid. I had prepaid for it, and Rudy was awesome to work with on rescheduling. Due to various factors, it took 4 years to reschedule, but we pulled it off! That alone says a lot about Rudy and his flexibility and integrity.

As for the trip, having a private guide and your own vehicle was huge. We saw the buses stopping at some of the spots, but realistically they can only do a limited set of things due to time, logistics, etc. With a small group and a private guide, we were able to do a ton of interesting things, many of them "off the beaten trail" and not things you would be able to see unless you had a knowledgeable private guide like Rudy.

In addition, Rudy had all of the hotels and restaurants picked out. They were very comfortable and the food was very good. And having pre-paid for everything, all we had to do was enjoy ourselves.

Rudy is also and excellent guide. His English is very good (he lived in the US for several years), and he has a very deep knowledge of all of the sites we visited.

He would often correct misinformation or give us the back story on certain battles, etc. While I can't say I remember everything he told us, we all really felt like we learned a huge amount about the pre-invasion buildup, D-Day, and the post-invasion battles.

I seldom write reviews on TripAdvisor, but Rudy is certainly worthy of one. While a private guide is more expensive than a bus tour, the product is completely different and worth every penny.

This was a fabulous memory for all of us, and Rudy's flexibility, knowledge, and good humor made it an experience of a lifetime.
