Tour #5 101st Airborne Tour – Full Day Tour
Our 101st Airborne Tour is an exceptional tour, and will be of great interest to those who saw Steven Spielberg’s famous movie, – Band of Brothers. This tour will enable you to link the fictional movie locations with the real places of the paratroops landings onto Normandy. Many sites on this tour are inaccessible to most other tour companies, and remain secluded from entry. However, due to the generosity of various land owners, and our personal relationship with them, you will have the privilege of seeing places like Brecourt Manor, and many other places where Lt. Winters and members of Easy Company stayed during the first nights of the Invasion.
However, this Tour includes also many spots dedicated to the famous Screaming Eagles. You will enjoy an understanding of the mission assigned to this unit, who had to secure the causeways running to the beach and to assume the link with the Vth Corps coming from Omaha Beach.
This Tour is a special Tour for those who are fond of History and wish to discover the strategy through deep learning.
