Band of Brothers Tours

Band of Brothers Tours was created by Easy Company's Official Historian Jake Powers and Company Commander Major Richard Winters. Utilizing Major Winters' personal diaries, maps, and over twenty years of interviews and research of all of the men who served in E/506th, it provides exceptional historical accuracy and insight into the history of Easy Company.

With unparalleled insight and detail behind the action, Band of Brothers Tours is the Official Tour endorsed by Major R.D. Winters and many Easy Company veterans.

You have seen the mini-series and have read the book. Now visit the exact locations on the battlefield where these brave men fought and suffered for the liberation of Europe and for our Freedom. You will begin by visiting the training towns of Toccoa, Georgia and Aldbourne, England. From there you will visit the hedgerows of Normandy, the villages of Holland, and the site of the bloody Battle for Bastogne. The tour ends with breathtaking views from Hitler's own Eagles Nest.

The exceptional story of these great men is yours to experience; their famous footsteps are yours to retrace.

"A Truly Moving Experience of a Lifetime"

The battlefield comes alive with stories and insight into this remarkable era by utilizing decades of personal research on the men of Easy Company & the 506th Parachute Infantry. Previously undisclosed personal stories and recollections of these historic fighters, obtained from years of maintaining close, personal relationships with these men, highlight your experience.

Band of Brothers Tours takes you to private locations and sites in Europe that are not accessible to the general public. You will stand at the trenches of the guns at Brecourt, the very spot in Holland where Major Winters' famous attack took place; and in the foxholes at Bastogne where the Men of Easy make their famous stand. You will discover how these ordinary young men left the farms and the factories and became some of the most celebrated and extraordinary heroes in history. You will laugh at their antics, weep for their suffering, and be awed by their complete dedication to each other and to their wartime mission. Join us and share in some of the most compelling and inspiring heroics and sacrifices in American history, and discover why they are truly "The Greatest Generation."
