With a busy schedule and stops at Omaha Beach and Bastogne, as well as attractions like Mont Saint-Michel, free time in Paris and the Sound of Music Tour, this tour is the perfect compromise for couples and families that are looking for an active, balanced European holiday.

11-day Beyond Band of Brothers R&R

The tour was well-organized, informative, and secure. I would like to go on another Band of Brothers tour in Europe. I appreciate the organization and professionalism. I always felt well-informed, and I enjoyed the interaction with my fellow tour group members and tour representatives. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

11-day Beyond Band of Brothers R&R

Absolutely-great mixture of WW 2 and non-war attractions. I took my whole family and it was the trip of a lifetime. One suggestion:In the brochure booklet describing the tour one of the reviews says "Overall a very good tour". That sort of scared me a bit-only a "very good tour". I would expect a more glowing description. Happily I can report it was "a fantastic tour". It was nice that the details were taken care of-hotels, restaurants, etc. yet we still had plenty of free time.

11-day Beyond Band of Brothers R&R

Rudy got us in the right places at the right times to miss the crowds. Restaurants and food were fantastic. Free time was more than enough, and hotels were comfortable. Would do it again in a heartbeat if we didn't have to fly 10 hours to get there. I would recommend Procom for this kind of tour.

The historical aspect of this tour was top notch. Knowing a little about the civil war is nice but the opportunity to see these are in real life puts things in so much better perspective. It is a must for anyone who enjoys history and fun for those who like to see some great scenery

9-day WW2 Bucket List on a Budget

Everything that I wanted in this trip. I would recommend to anyone because of the great value (I never felt as though I got less of an experience because it was the "budget" tour) an because of the sheer volume of historical information received. Any military history buff would enjoy this.

5-day Normandy Invasion

I would recommend this Tour for the person who wants an intense, though not terribly rushed, exposure to the highlights of the Invasion. It was, for me, a perfect complement to the hundreds of books and many films I have watched about D-Day.

5-day Pearl Harbor on a Budget

Navigating Honolulu during the crowded annual Pearl Harbor remembrance event would have been difficult since we didn’t know the lay of the land and the rules of engagement dealing with logistics such as timing, security, etc. Robert was on top of that.

5-day Pearl Harbor on a Budget

No complaints at all. The tour manager was great. Each of our destinations was great. The Anniversary of Pearl Harbor was an experience that we will never forget. It was an honor and a privilege to meet the survivors and listen to their stories. This is a company that genuinely seems to care about each guest and their experience.

We had a variety of foods at both locations. I was looking forward to trying Chamorro food and was able to try Parrot fish. I love seafood so I was in my glory there.
