The past years have shown us that despite our shared interest in history, our ideas of relaxing, yet rewarding vacation are as varied as the strategies employed in military planning. This is what has driven us to give you more choices than ever before in the form of categorizing all our tours in 3-star economic, 4-star all-inclusive and 5-star luxury tour packages. Following the popularity of our 3-star 9-day Band of Brothers Tour, we keep offering our economic tour packages, which are designed for travelers on a tighter schedule or a smaller budget and those who prefer more control over culinary options. As in years past, we continue to broaden our 4-star all-inclusive tour packages, which are perfect for those who have more time available for travel and prefer to sit back and have all the details of their vacation taken care of. We have added new 5-star luxury tour packages, offering unbeatable style and elegance, with unlimited drinks and the finest dinners at iconic locations. No matter what your style, budget or timeline, we have a tour that will work for you.
Our first-class historical tours take you on a journey through iconic World War II sites around Europe, as well as the most emblematic moments of American heroism of the time. From the Normandy beaches to Bastogne and the Bavarian Alps we guide you through the significant events and experiences of the war that changed the world. Band of Brothers Tour is a registered brand and protected trademark in the European Union by Beaches of Normandy Tours.
The first days of the tour dive into all five landing beaches, with a special focus on the American landing sectors. We then head east through the Ardennes to Belgium, where passengers can crouch in the foxholes of Bois Jacques and learn about the vehicles that defined the Allied war effort during the Battle of the Bulge and the Siege of Bastogne. Our journey ends in Germany, where we learn about the context of the Nazi regime, a sobering visit to the very first concentration camp of Dachau and we top off the tour with a day trip to the Bavarian Alps, where we visit the famous Eagle's Nest on top of the Kehlstein mountain.
