18-Day Normandy to Berlin Tour - 2021

BBOB_TR_D18

Introduction

Beyond Band of Brothers + Third Reich Combined Tour

This 18-day tour provides a living picture of the Allied advance through Western Europe and an understanding of the heinous Nazi regime that necessitated it. The Beyond Band of Brothers–Third Reich Combined Tour starts in Paris and ends in Berlin. Walk in the footsteps of the victorious Allied troops in Normandy and Belgium before journeying through the rise and fall of Hitler’s empire. Travel from beer halls where Hitler rallied his first followers to the damp Berlin bunkers where he met his end. Passengers gain an overview of the military might of the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine, and get insight into how a generation of young soldiers could be indoctrinated into this cruel ideology. The September departure of this tour includes the full Oktoberfest experience in Munich in a raucous beer tent.

18-day Normandy to Berlin

Overall, the tour was amazing and we had no worries. The tour guides were always looking out for us and always counting heads. The bus drivers were excellent. We had no worries and it was very easy to sleep. I would recommend your tour for all of the reasons stated above and because of the amount of information is amazing to learn while at the places they took place.

Great for the price and outstanding managers, drivers, and guides the three most crucial pieces for a tour. Hotels were on the higher end and so were the places we ate most days. Locations were all very well chosen and greatly guided.

18-day Normandy to Berlin

You people are professionals and good at what you. Tour was excellent and almost like "Work" but that's what we signed up for...wanted to LEARN a lot of history. You should use me as a reference. I checked your reference with past customers before I committed and you would receive very high quality referrals from me. I too, am a business executive and I know the power of a good referral. I would, unhesitatingly travel with Barry or Milan again.

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.

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.
