Anybody that has come along since then is just copying us. Our Band of Brothers Tour is the ORIGINAL Band of Brothers Tour created by Stephen E. Ambrose, who immortalized the men of Easy Company in his best-selling book, “Band of Brothers” and was the co-executive producer of the epic Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks HBO miniseries, “Band of Brothers.”
Our tour follows the path of Easy Company and is b
ased on the first-hand recollections of the paratroopers and the extensive research of Stephen Ambrose and his colleague, Ron Drez (Captain, USMC), who is our Senior Tour Historian. No other Band of Brothers tour can make this claim. As Major Dick Winters, commander Easy Company, said about our Band of Brothers Tour: "This tour is special. There is nothing else like it." This Band of Brothers tour is an experience unparalleled in its accuracy and insight. You will stand in the very foxholes and precise locations where Easy Company fought in some of the most climactic battles of World War II.
