IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE BAND OF BROTHERS – WORLD WAR 2
We will visit the most important battlegrounds related to World War 2. We’ll start in Normandy, France. There are four beaches there to see – the ones the Allies used for landing on D-Day, including the most famous of them, the Omaha Beach.

We have been interested in battle history and tactics for years. We visited hundreds of battlegrounds, museums, and memorials. This focus is perfectly complemented by motorcycle tourism, together ensuring a great way to learn history. We offer the first and truly unique programme of motorcycle trips following the traces of history.
We will go to the biggest museum devoted to Operation Overlord, Point du Hoc – a 30-metre-high cliff taken by American Rangers, and Falaise – the location of the famous battle of the Polish 1st Armoured Division of gen. Maczek (Mont Ormel).
We will see the Atlantic Wall and its fortifications, where the Germans expected the Allies to land, V2 rocket factories and launch sites, as well as Leopold – the heaviest railway gun to shoot at Dover on the other side of the English Channel.
In Dunkirk, we are going to see wrecks of the ships taking part in the largest evacuation of the British corps in history at the beginning of the war. Then we visit Zealand – a province of the Netherlands, where withdrawing German forces went through a part of the Dutch territory. We will see the locations of landing and main clashes of the Allies during Operation Market Garden, including the famous “bridge too far” in Arnhem. The last location on our battle trail list is Belgium, including Bastogne, where the last German offensive in the Ardennes took place. Today, it boasts a great museum.
On the way, you will be able to see many additional attractions – including original tanks, museums with dioramas and unique fortifications, as well as numerous memorials. Imagine standing on the very spot of important events, listening to our detailed and colourful tales how it all unfolded. And the cherry on top? The route is full of locations you could see in the cult miniseries “Band of Brothers!”
We have also prepared many surprises on the transits to and from – like Tank Museum or Technik Museum full of military technology.
