This tour is the ultimate Band of Brothers® Tour, an experience unparalleled in its accuracy and insight. Our founder, Stephen E. Ambrose, wrote the book. We meticulously crafted the ORIGINAL Band of Brothers® Tour based on the recollections of the paratroopers themselves and the extensive research of Professor Ambrose and the editors of Military History Quarterly and World War II magazines.
Immortalized by the Stephen Ambrose bestseller Band of Brothers and brought to millions more in the epic Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks HBO miniseries of the same name, the men of Easy Company were on an extraordinary journey during WWII. From D-Day to V-E Day, the paratroopers of E Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, participated in some of the war’s most critical battles and proved to truly be a company of heroes.
You will follow the path of Easy Company from its training bases in Toccoa, Georgia, and England into combat in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, and on to final victory at Berchtesgaden, Germany, Adolf Hitler’s Alpine retreat. You’ll stand where the men of Easy Company fought in some of the most climatic battles of World War II.
