Full Day Private Tour of Historical Normandy American Sites from Paris

My Dad and I took an incredible custom 14 day tour with Rudy starting in Normandy and ending in Berchtesgaden. The knowledge and storytelling Rudy put on display was something I will never forget, whether it was at the graves of American or German soldiers, in front of seemingly innocuous artifacts, or even in what at first glance seemed to be just empty fields but happened to be where some of the most defining actions of WW2 took place. Each location we traveled too came to life with these stories, and it only takes a quick glance at my camera roll to remember each one like I was standing there moments ago. While traveling to these locations across France, Belgium, and Germany we stayed at very comfortable hotels, tried many incredible local dishes, and learned about the history of the areas themselves such as our time in the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims or in Château de Chambord. We were even lucky enough to catch the tail end of the Christmas season in Luxembourg and experience the shops and sights there! This trip was one of the greatest shared experience for my dad and I to have done together and is something I will never forget!

My family and I loved this tour with Rudy and Normandy American Heroes. Rudy's knowledge and stories about WWII captured the attention of me, my husband and our 3 kids (ages 14, 16 and 17). We spent 10 day with Rudy guiding us through the events in Normandy, Reims France, Bastogne, Munich and Berchtesgaden and Rudy made every moment memorable and personal. Our visits to the German and American war cemeteries were incredibly impressionable for my children who learned, from Rudy, how to identify and research the lives of the American patriots that fought to defend freedom. We traced the path of different US military divisions, experienced the fox holes and revisited the events of major battles during the war, all of which Rudy brought alive with personal details of soldier's stories. Rudy even took us on a hike to hidden tunnels and bunkers in the forest of Germany and on a path following the footsteps of Hitler as he walked from his home to a local café in hills were he often took afternoon tea. I can't say enough about the quality of the tour that Normandy American Heroes delivered!! It's an experience my family will never forget.

Rudy and Pierre provided a world-class experience for our 3 day tour. Four siblings and our spouses were guided on the path our Father took through Normandy as part of the 4th Division. It was life changing!! Every part of the experience was first class including accommodations and meals. We received a very clear vision of events before and after D Day and how our Father and his fellow heroes preserved freedom for the world. No detail was too small. Most of all, Rudy and Pierre became part of our family. We recommend the two of them and Normandy American Heroes to anyone who wants to better understand these major events in history.
