Two full days of touring (one at Omaha Beach and cemeteries; one at Utah Beach, cemeteries, and museums). We listened to well-delivered lectures, usually at historic sites, which significantly altered how we look at and feel about America's role in WII. The stories, facts, data, and visual aids presented brought to life the happenings of our countrymen. So much detail was added to what we previously thought we knew from movies, history books, novels, and stories. Pierre is to be commended for his professionalism, detailed knowledge, and dedication, and passion for a subject that has affected the world and continues to affect the world. We particularly appreciated the time allotted following somber explanations to process emotions. We are forever grateful to Normandy-American Heroes for making these historically significant tours available.

My husband and I took an 18 day trip from Normandy to Berlin with NAH. We had an absolutely great adventure. Rudy was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable on WWII...we learned many interesting facts of history. NAH took care of everything so it made the trip that much easier and the one on one attention was the best. We went to sites you would never be able to go if you were on a bus tour. NAH and Rudy are the best!!

Thank you, Pierre and Rudy, for putting together an incredible day visiting Normandy. We were picked up in Bayeux and spent the day with Pierre. Normandy American Heroes put together a well thought out itinerary that offered us a glimpse into the events on that historic day. Pierre made details come alive for my 2 teenage boys who are big history enthusiast. We underestimated how many important sites there were to see. We hope to go back.

My 15 year old son and I toured 2 days with Pierre in August. We did extensive tour of Omaha beach, Utah beach, museums, cemeteries, batteries and much more! Was excellent and Pierre was fantastic! I also had the opportunity to meet Rudy and he was fantastic as well. It made me want to go back again soon to see the many more offerings they have at American Heroes. I highly recommend!

Pierre was amazing. He kept our children engaged and made our experience very personal. I would highly recommend.

Recently, our group that consisted of 12 adults (2 families) visited the Normandy area. We were fortunate enough to book our guide and tour through Rudy. We had communicated with Rudy ahead of time and had our tour mapped out for some specific sites that we wanted to see. Our guide was Pierre and our experience with the entire tour was fantastic. Pierre was knowledgeable, fun, organized and our entire two days were spent learning and enjoying the Normandy region. We had a variety of history knowledge among our group and Pierre was able to capture our attention and help us relive a historical moment in time with our American soldiers. We did not have to wait in line at any museum or for our lunch reservations. The entire day was flawless. I would highly recommend Rudy and the Normandy American Heroes tour compnay and our guide, Pierre. We will definitely be back. The Godwin and Ftichett Families

My 17 year old son and I took a 10-day Band of Brothers + Eagle’s nest tour with Rudy in June and we had an absolutely AMAZING adventure. From the D-Day Beaches to Eagles Nest and everything in-between like visiting la Rouche-Guyon castle with its medieval keep and WWII history, walking through German bunkers and casemates at Azeville and Omaha Beach, listening to TAPS during the flag folding ceremony at the Normandy American cemetery, visiting the foxholes in the Bois Jacques in Bastogne to visit the forest where the Allies held their ground during the Battle of the Bulge, walking the Nazi party rally grounds in Nuremberg, and touring the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria. We were also able to follow in my Grandfather’s footsteps (an American B-17 Navigator and POW) for part of the tour which was a heartwarming experience for us both. The Normandy American Heroes tour was an experience my son and I will never forget. Rudy takes the time to explain what happened at each site that we visited and is passionate about the small details. And nothing can beat a small tour with an expert guide. Rudy knows the best times to visit each site so you get the personalized experience you are looking for. He recommends books and movies to watch to learn more. He even helped my son pick out an authentic American WWII helmet from Bastogne to purchase as a souvenir to bring home. Rudy said he is going to make a photo scrapbook for us as well which we look forward to! The lodging and meals Rudy booked for us were all excellent. And Myles was great in talking with us in the early planning stages to help us personalize our tour. We cannot recommend Rudy and NAH enough. Thank you NAH for an adventure of a lifetime with my son!

Phenomenal tour with Pierre of Normandy American Heroes! We recently spent three days doing the ‘a la carte’ tour of Normandy Invasion beaches and battlefields, guided by Pierre Fallet of the Normandy American Heroes tour company. Pierre, who grew up in the Normandy area, shared his extensive knowledge and personal insight into the magnitude and timeline of the American element of the WW II war-ending Allied invasion of France and the European Continent. It was a remarkable immersion into World War II history. We had selected three days focusing on landings at Omaha Beach and La Pointe du Hoc, at Utah Beach and associated drop zones, and Mont Saint Michel and Operation Luttich. Pierre’s ability to explain the impact of the invasion from the individual soldiers who landed on these battlefield beaches to the incredible high level of planning, logistics and world impact of the Allied efforts was a daily feast of history and interpretation that left everyone in our group impressed. While Pierre was far younger than his six person audience, it was clear his commanding presence and passion for Normandy and its role in turning the tide of the war went far beyond that of a tour guide. He lives and breathes this history, with the provenance of a French citizen. I hope anyone interested in learning more about the historic nature of the Allied effort will seek out Normandy American Heroes and have the privilege of being guided by Pierre or one of their other knowledgeable historians. I should note that we first contacted NAH’s owner and interpretive guide Rudy Passera in early 2022 to schedule this trip. Our group included a retired Army National Guard Colonel who had multiple deployments including Iraq and Afghanistan involving Forward Surgical Teams, a nurse as well as two senior National park managers who retired from the National Park Service. We were all deeply moved by the depth of preparation and immersive experiences Rudy and Pierre designed and provided.

My family and I went to Paris recently and took part on Full Day Private Tour of Historical Normandy American Sites from Paris. It was a fantastic experience and our guide Pierre really made it special. Everyone was amicable, courteous, and knowledgeable as well. I highly recommend doing the Normandy Heros Tour it was so memorable and something that will leave an impact on you for years to come. I will definitely be doing another tour when I return to Europe

Pierre was truly amazing, both charming, and professional but most of all extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the Normandy experience. Our recent private Normandy tour helped us appreciate what my husbands Father experienced on D-day. Pierre told us stories of the soldiers as well as the civilians caught up in the war. We learned incedible details about the planning and execution of the landing in Normandy as well as the incredible odds our American soldiers faced in a way that has forever changed us. Pierre provided us just the right balance of historical facts, pictures, diagrams, stories, exploration of the country side and plenty of time to process our emotions during our two days together at Omaha and Utah beaches. We highly recommend spending two days with Pierre in Normandy. Craig & Teri

My dad and I took the Normandy tour with the add on of Verdun and some of the Hitler sites in Germany along with Dachau concentration camp. We were fortunate enough to have both Rudy and Pierre guide us on our 10 day tour. My dad has always been a WWII lover and I teach high school history in the states. We were guided to every hotel and restaurant during our tour and it was all excellent. Rudy takes care of his guests and ensures they have a once in a lifetime experience. I mean this when I say, we could not have done this tour without Rudy’s guidance. If you have the desire to travel to WWII sites and take tours, you can’t go wrong with Rudy. It is a trip we will treasure forever.

This day was the highlight of our European vacation. Hands down Rudy was an UNBELIEVABLE tour guide. You will NOT go wrong with booking a tour thru Normandy American Heroes. The location of Normandy itself is very humbling then add the vast information Rudy provides brings it to the next level. With his deep sense of knowledge for the history of the campaign and first hand information collected throughout the years, you will feel like you are actually living out the events as they happened nearly 80 years ago. We saw all that we wanted, and then more thanks to the fantastic experience from Rudy.

After a year’s wait, my father-in-law and I (Army & Air Force veterans respectively) just completed the 5 Day spectacular D-Day Tour with @Normandy American Heros (NAH). We did our research prior and were looking not only for a “great tour”, but one that was educational, detailed, broad, and manageable in 5 days and NAH did not disappoint! From the beaches to the museums, to intact remnants of a War fought 80 years ago, our guide Pierre, vividly brought to life through stories, facts, and imagination the timing, events, counter events, and the meanings of each battle, each city, each crossroad, and every Division, Battalion, and Regiment. Passion doesn’t describe Pierre’s commitment to the tour. Explanations of misconceptions, details provided that can only be learned through deep inspection of facts, writings, and historical documents, and in person visualizations at the locations of each event enabled us to understand the immensity of the challenge the Allies faced, the complexity of a fragmented German military, and the courage, determination, and strength it took to overturn the evil that was the Third Reich. What made the tour even better was the communication from Rudy and Pierre prior to the trip right through our daily debriefs. The excelled at making this “our trip” and went the extra steps to ensure it was a trip of a lifetime. My father-in-law is a Bugle player, and through their efforts, was able to sound Taps for a wreath laying ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery on Memorial Day. Something he and I will never forget. Their personal investment in our comfort, pace, and their connections with the communities, hotels, and restaurants are simply astounding. They know their craft and they do it well. Anyone not looking for a vacation, but rather an experience, should reach out to Rudy and team at Normandy American Heroes. A trip of a lifetime with team solely focused on your experience, and the truth.

Our 8 day tour with Normandy American Heroes was better that expected and more than we had hoped for Rudy Passera combines historical facts with personal stories of the brave warriors who fought in WW 2. We visited many significant battle sites and beaches, outstanding museums and memorial cemeteries. Additionally, Rudy took us to many historical religious and cultural sites which brought our tour to an entirely different level. Our hotels in Bayeux and Bastogne were very nice and the resturant’s he took us to for meals were all excellent. Rudy loves honoring those who served the Allied cause in WW 2 and he is very fun to travel with. I highly recommend Normandy American Heroes for anyone interested in a personalized European WW 2 historical tour.

An 8 day private tour with Normandy American Hero’s Rudy Passera. The most wonderful trip and host we’ve ever experienced! Rudy provided excellent organization, hospitality and well planned daily trips, hotels, lunch and dinner venues along with suggesting the most amazing choices as to what to eat, having fun and relaxation after emotional and humbling days on the front lines of history! From the beaches of Utah, Omaha and Point du Hoc, Cathedral Notre Dame De Bayeux, Maisy Battery and Bunkers, Chateau LaRoche Guyon, Museums, Mont Saint Michel, American and German Cemeteries, Cathedral de Reims, more Museums, St Therese of Lisieux, Belgium, Luxembourg, France and so much more. Our host Rudy Passera was very knowledgeable, passionate and personable and the tour was more than we ever could have imagined and far exceeded our expectations! We would definitely recommend this tour, with Rudy, to everyone that wants to experience the battle adventures from Normandy to Bastogne! Thank you so very much, Rudy, The Thomas’
