Why Band of Brothers Tours? F.A.Q.s…
- What sets Band of Brothers Tours apart from others?
Great Question…Several things.
- First. This is our lifelong passion. We only conduct tours that focus on the Men of Easy Company and the 101st Airborne Division operations in the ETO. We don’t conduct other historical tours throughout Europe about WWII battles. We focus on one particular unit and provide as much detail and insight as historically possible. You are with us to learn about the Veterans of the Band of Brothers. And that is what you will do. There are many companies that can provide you a “Big Picture” experience and you might see Ike’s Headquarters but you won’t see the window where Shifty shot the sniper in Foy or the location in Holland where Moose was wounded.
- Second. The lifelong personal relationships with the Veterans of Easy Company have provided insight, details and historical facts that are not available anywhere else. You will hear stories and experiences that cannot not been seen in neither film nor print.
- Third. Having researched Easy Company and the 506th for nearly 30 years, our references and working materials are the most complete archives in existence. Our archives not only contain all the original maps and documents as used by Major Winters throughout the entire war but also the unabridged oral history of nearly every member who served in Easy Company during WWII.
- Fourth. Experience. We have escorted more guests on Band of Brothers focused tours than anyone else. More importantly, we created this tour that is currently used by another tour company and have even consulted European based companies in establishing their 1 day excursion.
- Finally. Flexibility. Hearing feedback from tour participants over the years we learned several things. The key one being that the length of time away from home, work or family was difficult for many during the full 14 day tour. Therefore we made the tour available in multiple parts to accommodate the situations as mentioned above without compromising the experience and quality of the historical content. We simply made the tour and tour options more available to meet the guest’s individual needs and situations.
