Is Warner Brothers Studio Tour Really Worth The Money?

So you’re planning a trip to Los Angeles and you’re wondering – is the Warner Brothers Studio Tour really worth the money? The short answer is – yes. (You can certainly keep on reading if you’d like to hear my thoughts and observations on the entire experience!) In this article I’ll answer another popular question: what do you see on the Warner Brothers tour?

The Warner Brothers Studio Tour has been known to be one of the best backlot studio tours in all of Los Angeles for more than a decade. The first time I went on a tour was back in 2007 – when Everybody Loves Raymond was a hit TV show produced on site. I remember it well because seeing the sets of the popular sitcom up-close was a highlight for me that day.

Fast forward to 2023 and the Warner Brothers Studio Tour is still great – but has been streamlined with even more unique experiences for visitors.

Buying Tickets And Starting The Studio Tour

The ticket buying process is simple – you can purchase them online and see right away which tours are still available. The studio has a paid parking garage which is immediately next to the entrance where you’ll start your tour.

You’ll begin the experience with a video presentation that lasts about ten minutes and gives a nice overview of the studio’s history, location, and what you can expect as the tour begins.

As you exit the theater, one of the tour guides will drive you around the backlot on a small tram that holds about 15 people. It’s not a crowded experience – each tour is quite intimate and you shouldn’t have any trouble at all hearing the trivia tidbits or seeing things they’ll point out along the way.

The Warner Brothers Studio Tour finally begins!

You’re likely to see some notable locations as you cruise around the lot. For fans of the show Friends , you’ll see where they filmed the introduction of the popular sitcom and splashed around in the “Friends fountain.” You also may spot the Tanner’s San Francisco home from Fuller House or the cafe featured in Shameless . Be on the lookout for the courthouse – it’s used in many films but notably was where Batman & Robin went to visit Commissioner Gordon in the 60s TV series Batman .

While you’re on the backlot tour you’ll likely stop to see one of the actual production sets for a current television show. Back in 2007 – I remember getting to visit the sets of The West Wing; ER; and Gilmore Girls. Since I don’t watch much television these days, I wasn’t really familiar with the sets we were able to see this time. The good news is – even if you don’t know the show, it’s still really interesting being on a sound stage and seeing how they produce television programs.

You’ll also likely visit some of the empty facades which line the streets of the backlot. It’s interesting to hear which classic films or shows previously used the same buildings – with different paint jobs or decorations. Warner Brothers is known for making good use of everything they already have built! It’s cool how many of these buildings you get to see during the Warner Brothers Studio Tour!

Dress Appropriately For The Tour!

The first part of the tour is almost completely outside (the tram has no doors or windows) and you’ll be subject to whatever the weather happens to be doing. Bring a light jacket in the winter months or prepare to be hot in the summer months.

Explore Warner Brothers Studio Tour Visitors Center

The second part of the tour takes place in a visitors center where you’re able to take as much time as you want to explore. You can even grab a bite to eat! It’s here where you are able to have some really interesting hands-on experiences and learn about the production process that takes place at Warner Brothers.

You’ll have a chance to try your hand at voiceovers and see how sound effects are produced for films. You’ll learn about the process for creating a musical soundtrack and how to creatively use camera angles. There are quite a few wardrobe pieces on display from notable films and even a section of drawing cartoons – like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.

See The Set of Friends and Big Bang Theory Set

The most popular attraction for guests at the visitors center is getting to see the Friends set. The iconic sitcom is still popular and people love getting the chance to sit on the Friends couch.

Personally, my favorite part of the Warner Brothers Studio Tour was having the chance to sit in Sheldon’s spot on the set of The Big Bang Theory. For no additional charge, you can have your photo taken while you visit the set Friends or see the Big Bang Theory set. (They also offer a paid version if you’d prefer a higher quality image. I just used my Iphone!)

Now on to the third and final part of the Warner Brothers Studio Tour – a tram whisks you away to another building that’s connected to where you started your tour. This building has memorabilia and artifacts from various Warner Brothers productions like Batman Returns, Superman, and Harry Potter. (I’ve honestly never seen Harry Potter – but if you read the books or watched the movies – this is something you’d probably really enjoy.)

Again – you’re allowed to take your time browsing and once you’re finished, you’ll exit back into the main lobby where you can go through the Warner Brothers Studio Tour gift shop or head back to your car in the garage.

Is Warner Brothers Studio Tour Worth It?

Overall, the Warner Brothers Studio Tour is a great bargain if you’re looking for the best backlot tour in Los Angeles. If you can find a southern California resident to tag along – the tickets are about $10 cheaper!

You can find tickets and tour times on their website . They also offer a “deluxe” tour experience for a much higher price – but for the average person – the general tour is going to be more than enough.

Q&A w/IMC President, Landon Beene (CARAVAN TOUR)

IMC CONCERTS announces the The Gospel Music Caravan coming to the West Coast! This new tour will be making stops in Washington, Oregon and California in the summer of 2023! The Gospel Music Caravan Tour is a TWO-DAY event in each location that will include three dynamic sessions with some of the biggest names in Gospel Music! This tour is designed for local and regional gospel music fans to enjoy near their homes or take a road trip and join us while we travel down the west coast going to multiple cities.

We sat down with Landon to discuss the details of this dynamic new tour.

“I grew up in California and have great memories of when two or three gospel groups would come out to our area on tour together in the 80’s and 90’s. Those multi-artists tours are the inspiration for the Caravan Tour.” - Landon Beene

How did you come up with the concept for this tour?

The (West Coast) Gospel Music Caravan is a twofold concept: bringing a big event to people who love gospel music and bringing those people along on the tour!

IMC has always had a passion for bringing gospel music to the West Coast. I grew up in California and have great memories of when two or three gospel groups would come out to our area on tour together in the 80s and 90s. Those multi-artist tours are the inspiration for the Caravan Tour.

Why these four cities? 

If you look at the map, these four markets are evenly spread out, from top to bottom, on the U.S. West Coast. We realize that in order to keep this music alive on that side of the country, we need to take the music to THEM! The pandemic has really caused a lapse in gospel music going into the region, as well as the western provinces of Canada. Single night tours are still happening, but the larger events have diminished over the last few years. Our goal is to change that.

Why have you decided on multi-day events in each market?

IMC hosts several multi-day events each year. We have seen the benefit of hosting  several sessions in order to maximize the time at the events. It gives those people who are driving long distances the opportunity to take in more music and have a more meaningful overall experience.

Why are there days scheduled in between the concert dates?

While on tour, artists typically travel to a different market each night. They travel on a motor coach and are able to sleep while heading to the next concert date.  We are hoping that many of the attendees will want to travel along with the caravan to each market. This is why we have intentionally included a few days  off between stops; to create a travel schedule that accommodates the attendees. It also provides the opportunity for artists and attendees alike to enjoy free time, enabling them to sightsee along the way.

Is each event the same?

There will be some similarities, yes, but while four of the artists will act as hosts at all of the events, each market will showcase two additional artists so that each event will be fresh and slightly different. By doing this, we have been able to include the top artists in gospel music during the 12-day caravan.

What if attendees can only come to one or two of the events?

Great question! Each event will be priced and ticketed separately as a stand-alone event. This way our attendees can pick and choose which events they want to attend. Our hope is that many people will choose to make more than one stop with us. We also hope to have people from the South, Midwest and East Coast who will fly into the first event, rent a car or van and join us for the entirety of our first-ever Caravan Tour!

Band of Brothers® Tours

This tour is special. There is nothing else like it.

– Major Dick Winters, The Commander of Easy Company

This is the best Band of Brothers® Tour you can take. Our founder, Stephen E. Ambrose, wrote the book. We meticulously crafted the ORIGINAL Band of Brothers® Tour based on the recollections of the paratroopers themselves and the extensive research of Dr. Ambrose and the editors of Military History Quarterly and World War II magazines.

Anybody that has come along since then is just copying us.

For more information, read: Dick Winters and How the Band of Brothers® Tour Began >

About our Band of Brothers® Tour

Immortalized by the Stephen Ambrose bestseller, “Band of Brothers,” and brought to millions more in the epic Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks HBO miniseries of the same name, the men of Easy Company were on an extraordinary journey during WWII. From D-Day to V-E Day, the paratroopers of E Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, participated in some of the war’s most critical battles and proved to truly be a company of heroes.

Our Band of Brothers® Tour follows the path of Easy Company from its training bases in Toccoa, Georgia, and England into combat in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg and on to final victory at Berchtesgaden, Germany, Adolf Hitler’s Alpine retreat. You’ll stand in the very foxholes and precise locations where the men of Easy Company fought in some of the most climatic battles of World War II.

This tour is the ultimate Band of Brothers® Tour, an experience unparalleled in its accuracy and insight.

There will be some free time to relax, shop and do your own exploration in some of Europe’s most charming villages and cities, while evenings will be spent over delicious dinners where you can recount the day’s events with your fellow travelers as you, too, become a Band of Brothers.

The optional pre-tour extension is only offered a few times per year. It starts in Atlanta and includes a visit to Camp Toccoa at Mt. Currahee. Here, you will see Easy Company’s training grounds before returning to Atlanta. There is no group flight; Toccoa Extension guests must book their own trans-Atlantic flights. SAHT will instruct Toccoa Extension guests on a specific flight to purchase (ATL to LHR).

Day-By-Day Itinerary

Day 1 tour group: flight to london; extension group: arrival in atlanta.

Tour-only Guests : Take overnight flight to London Heathrow. Assuming your departure is from the USA, you should board your overnight flight to London Heathrow, landing on Day 2.

Extension Guests : Arrival in Atlanta. The tour begins in Atlanta with an informal Welcome Reception where participants will have an opportunity to get acquainted with each other and meet the historians and tour staff. A brief overview of the legacy of Easy Company will set the stage for the days ahead.

DAY 2 Tour Group: Arrival in London; Extension Group: Toccoa

Tour-only Guests : Arrive at London Heathrow. You will arrive in London this morning. Hotel accommodations will be provided at a Heathrow airport hotel. Standard check-in time is 3 p.m. No group activities this day, but staying near the airport where the tour bus driver will be, will put you in the right place for Day 3.

Extension Guests : Toccoa: Birthplace of the 506th. Ask any of the original members of Easy Company what made the unit so special and they will answer: “Toccoa.” This training ground in the north Georgia woods was where the bonding process of the 506th began. As it did for so many of the men of Easy Company, our tour of Toccoa will begin at the train station where recruits for the 506th first arrived. The station also houses the Stephens County Historical Society, the 506th Museum, and the unique collection of artifacts and memorabilia from Camp Toccoa.

Following lunch, we travel to the site of the Camp and then proceed up Mount Currahee, the 1,000-foot mountain the men of the 506th ran daily for training. Here they drew their inspiration and motto “Currahee,” an Indian word meaning “We Stand Alone.”

We end the day with airport dropoff to take an overnight flight to London. (Note: All extension guests must be on the same flight from ATL to LHR. SAHT will announce which flight guests should book in your welcome package.)

DAY 3 England, Prelude to Invasion

Tour-only Guests : Meet the bus driver and your fellow tour-only guests for breakfast before picking up the extension guests at the airport.

Extension Guests : After arriving in London, the extension guests will meet the bus and tour-only guests. As a united group, we start the tour!

All Guests: After our arrival in London, we will visit Littlecote House, the historic English manor that was headquarters for the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment for the six months prior to the invasion. We will tour Aldbourne, the tiny Wiltshire village that was the home of Easy Company, and visit many of the buildings used by the men of Easy as they prepared for the greatest invasion in history. When in the village we will have an opportunity to enjoy a traditional lunch in the same pubs frequented by the men of the Easy Company.

DAY 4 Crossing the Channel

We begin our day in Portsmouth with a visit to the award-winning D-Day Museum and Southwick House, the elegant country house which became the location of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force. In the months leading up to D-Day, Southwick House became the headquarters of the main Allied commanders: Allied Supreme Commander, General Eisenhower; Naval Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Ramsay; and the Army Commander-in-Chief, General Montgomery. Large wall maps that were used in planning D-Day are still in place in the house, with markers showing the positions of the involved forces at the moments of the first landings. After our visit to Southwick House, we board the cross-channel ferry to France.

DAY 5 Fortress Europe

At the start of the invasion, several members of Easy Company landed in and around Ste-Mere- Eglise, including Richard Winters, Carwood Lipton, and Bill Guarnere. Here we begin our historical tracings of the 506th in France. This is where Dick Winters took command after the tragic death of Lt. Thomas Meehan. From Ste-Mere-Eglise we follow the route Lieutenant Winters and a handful of men took on the first night of the invasion to Brecourt Manor. In 1944, the manor was the site of a German battery that threatened the invasion beaches at Utah.

From the manor, we proceed to Utah Beach and the Utah Beach Museum. From Ste-Marie-du-Mont, we will travel past Dead Man's Corner, and into Carentan, the Norman town that was one of the Allies' earliest objectives. We will see the site of Easy Company's battle as they entered the town on June 12, and the square from which General Maxwell Taylor presented awards to his men for their gallant performance during the invasion.

DAY 6 Normandy Coast

Rising early the next morning, we will drive to Omaha Beach where the Americans took the German fortifications after a stupendous fight. The six-mile-wide invasion beach is surrounded by cliffs that made the landing and attack extremely difficult. Landings here were necessary in order to link with British landings to the east at Gold Beach with the American landing to the west at Utah Beach, thus providing a continuous foothold on the Normandy coast. Very little went as planned during the landing at Omaha Beach. Many landing crafts missed their targets throughout the day. German defenses were strong and inflicted heavy casualties on US troops. Losses were especially high in the first wave of landings; there were 2,400 casualties on Omaha Beach alone. We will study the battlefield and hear accounts of the action, cross the beach, analyze the maps and imagine the courage that saved our freedom that day.

Today the American Cemetery stretches along the bluff overlooking Omaha Beach. It covers 172 acres and contains the remains of American military dead, most of whom were killed during the invasion of Normandy and ensuing military operations in World War II. The names of the Americans who lost their lives in the conflict but could not be located and/or identified are inscribed on the walls of a semicircular garden at the east side of the memorial. We will spend some time at the cemetery to pay our respects. In the afternoon we will visit the bridge over the Caen Canal, today called Pegasus Bridge after the symbol of the British airborne forces. Pegasus Bridge, captured by a glider-borne company of the 6th Division British Airborne Troops, was the first engagement of D-Day, and the turning point of World War II.

DAY 7 Remember September

Today we will study Operation Market Garden, the largest airborne operation of the war. In broad daylight, the 101st Airborne Division parachuted into the Netherlands in a bold strike in order to seize bridges across rivers and adjacent canals from Belgium to Arnhem. From there we will head to Son, the location of the 506th’s drop zone and the bridge over Wilhelmina. Under the command of Colonel Sink, their mission was to capture the bridge over the Wilhelmina Canal and then advance south to Eindhoven. We will then follow the company's route into Eindhoven and visit Saint Catherine's church where many of the original liberators gathered in September 1944. Our last stop of the day will be the Veghel battle site, where all of the 101st Airborne Division fought to keep Hell's Highway clear of enemy troops.

DAY 8 Where They Stand

Our travels continue along Hells Highway, the route followed by the British XXX Corps as it attempted to reach its embattled 1st Airborne Division, in Arnhem. Our travels will also take us to the famous bridge over the Waal River that was a key objective of Operation Market Garden, the Bridge at Nijmegen. Following lunch at the De Westerbouwing restaurant, which in 1944 was a German observation position, we travel to the Island, a 5-kilometer strip of land between the Neder Rijm and the Waal and the northernmost point of Allied territory. While at the Island, we will visit the E Company positions during the month-long stalemate at the end of Operation Market Garden.

After a stop at Tor Schoonderlogt, a farm which was the 2nd Battalion Headquarters, we will visit Easy Company's jump-off point for Operation Pegasus, a mission to rescue trapped British paratroopers. We will walk the site of the fight at the Crossroads, where E Company attacked and destroyed a company of elite SS soldiers, preventing over 300 German soldiers from joining an attack on the 506th regimental headquarters. You will stand in the very spots where American and German forces stood, and will understand what Stephen Ambrose meant when he said that the best way to understand history is to study the places it was made.

DAY 9 Bastogne

Our next stop is Bastogne, Belgium, the site of the division's epic eight-day stand against the Germans in December 1944. Along the way, we stop at the American Battle Monuments Commissions Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial at Margraten to pay our respects at the graves of Easy Company men killed in the Netherlands and Belgium. In Bastogne, we visit the Battle of the Bulge Museum and General Anthony McAuliffe's headquarters during the siege.

DAY 10 The Bois Jacques and Beyond

Saturday starts with a visit to the Bois Jacques, Halt Station, and Easy Company's foxholes overlooking the village of Foy. From Foy we will follow the company's route through Recogne, stopping to visit the German cemetery, Cobru, Noville, and Luzory. We conclude our day at the American Cemetery in Luxembourg, where General George S. Patton is buried with members of his 3rd Army.

DAY 11 The Last Patrol

From Bastogne, we head to Fort Simserhof, a beautifully preserved Maginot Line fortification, and a visit to the Muse de la Fortification du Simserhof. Our day concludes with a visit to Hagenau, the site of some of Easy Company's final battles and several daring patrols.

DAY 12 Why We Fight

On April 29, 1945, as they advanced into the Bavarian Alps, Easy Company liberated a satellite of the Dachau concentration camp at Landsberg. We will visit Dachau, the site of some of the most nefarious acts of and against humankind during the war, as we travel south through Bavaria. Constructed in a disused gunpowder factory, Dachau was the first concentration-style camp after which all subsequent concentration camps were modeled. In total, over 200,000 prisoners from more than 30 countries were housed in Dachau, with at least 30,000 registered prisoners are believed to have died in the camp and its subcamps: notably Jews, resistance fighters, clergymen, politicians, communists, writers, artists, and royalty. The second camp liberated by British or American forces, Dachau was one of the first places where the west was exposed to Nazi brutality.

DAY 13 The Eagle’s Nest

Our study of Easy Company battlefields ends at Adolf Hitler's Alpine retreat at Berchtesgaden, where we will visit the Eagles Nest and the remains of the vast Nazi Party complex liberated by Easy Company in May 1945. Eagles Nest was built as a 50th birthday present to Hitler from the Nazi party. Perched at 6017 feet, the Eagle's Nest and the road network leading to it were considered feats of engineering as they were completed in only 13 months' time in 1937-38.

DAY 14 Points

As it did for the men of Easy Company, our travels will end at Zell am See and Kaprun, Austria, where they celebrated the anniversary of their jump into Normandy with a parachute drop into the waters of the Zeller See Lake. In the evening we will have a final special banquet, where we can reflect on our trip and the Band of Brothers®' role in securing victory in Europe.

Ambrose tour with Chris Anderson and George Luz Jr.

I can’t imagine anyone anywhere who could provide a more enjoyable and informative event (it’s far more than a tour). This tour is non pareil for sure. Chris and George were delightful and incredibly knowledgeable as both had many interactions with “the men” of the 506th. Thanks for a memory of a lifetime!

Exceeded expectations!

Day 14 of my Band of Brothers tour – Points (Going Home).

What an amazing two weeks! I thought I knew the story of the Band of Brothers. I have seen the complete series countless times. I have read the book by Stephen Ambrose several times. I have read just about every book authored by historians and/or by the men from Easy Company. This tour gave me a perspective that none of those stories could.

On this tour, I was able to walk the ground and see where the history actually took place. I was at Camp Toccoa and went to the top of Mount Curahee. I was at Brecourt Manor and saw where the German guns were located. I saw the tree line that Winters and Compton used to attack each gun. We were explained the tactics used and why. I was able to look down on Foy from the Bois Jacques. I saw the remnants of Easy Company fox holes. We were taken into Foy and were told how the battle progressed. We saw battle damage on buildings that were a direct result of Easy Company fire. We stood on the bank of the river in Haguenau where Easy’s last patrol crossed. I sat in the main hall of Hitler’s Eagles Nest.

But our trip wasn’t just about Easy Company and all they accomplished. I saw the D-Day planning maps at Southwick House. I saw Pegasus Bridge where the first Allied soldiers landed on D-Day. I walked the ground of Pointe du Hoc and marveled at how the US Rangers could have scaled the cliff. I saw French fortifications on the Maginot line. I visited US cemeteries at Omaha Beach, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. We even stopped at a German cemetery outside of Bastogne.

There are so many more examples that I could go on of how special this trip was. I met some great people, stayed at some amazing hotels, and ate wonderful food.

If you have an interest in Easy Company, this trip through Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours is the only way to go. Our historian Matt and tour coordinator Connie did an amazing job of making this trip a once in a lifetime experience. It exceeded all expectations. I would travel again with Stephen Ambrose Tours in a heartbeat. After each day, I didn’t think the next day could be better but unequivocally it was. If this trip would have ended after just the first few days, where we studied all aspects of the Overlord invasion, I would have felt that it was worth every penny.

We traveled 1,873 miles, through 8 different countries during the 14 day tour. I have memories of a lifetime. I will pass on my experiences to anyone who will listen because history has to be retold so it does not repeat itself.

There are a lot of other “Band of Brothers” type tours out there but, this is the ORIGINAL one. Developed by Dr. Ambrose who met and traveled with the men from Easy Company. Dr. Ambrose walked the actual ground with Dick Winters and the other members of Easy so every aspect of tour was correct. Don’t be fooled by imitations. Chose the first and the finest!

Band of Brothers tour: 7-21 July 2023

The best trip that I’ve ever taken : Bar none. Chris Anderson, George Luz and Klaus the bus driver where 3 of the best team members ever. I don’t know, but I think Chris knows everyone in Europe whom has anything to do with BOB’s. George Luz had first hand experience, because he is the son of George Luz an Easy Company member. Because Chris and George have had many experiences with the men of Easy Company, it made all the difference in this tour. I could go on for hours and hours talking about this tour, but if you are a history buff it is something that you need to make your best efforts to try and make it happen.

Best of the Best!

This was my third SAHT tour with Chris Anderson and it far exceeded my expectations. Just when I think it can’t get any better, Chris puts it over-the-top. With his firsthand accounts from the dozens of Easy Company survivors that he personally knew as well as his personal friendship with Major Dick Winters, he brings the events to life and you can’t help but feel that you’re actually there as an eyewitness. Chris has developed unique and personal relationships with the de Vallavielle family at Brecourt Manor (behind Utah Beach), the Overveld family at the drop zone in Son, Holland and other contacts on the tour that will leave you with memorable experiences that NO other guide can offer. He is a master historian and storyteller that is not afraid to show his true emotions as he shares the well documented accounts through seven countries and 3,000 miles of travel. Oh, and don’t miss the Toccoa extension; even if you have to make a separate trip, do it BEFORE you take the tour with Chris.

Band of Brothers - October 2022 - Unforgettable, Outstanding, and Fun!

This was our first Stephen Ambrose tour, and we wanted to go with Chris Anderson, because we enjoy his History Happy Hours each Sunday. Having a cursory knowlege of the subject area, we really didn’t know what to expect, but having said that, the context, knowledge base, details, locations, and Chris’s personal relationship with most of the Easy Company men all added to the fantastic experience. We were able to go to places along the route that were not seen by many tours based on the personal relationship that Chris has with many of the “locals.” Keith Smith, tour manager for this trip took constant care of all of us, and our driver, Klaus, maneuvered our tour bus into every nook and cranny on the way. Food was exceptional as were the majority of the accommodations. This is a tour that will touch everyone’s hearts and minds — the bravery of the 101, et. al. No one should hesitate to take this tour … get on the list! We have already booked tours for 2023!

Best Trip I Have Ever Taken

I took the trip in May 2016 as a birthday gift to celebrate my 5oth year of life. I took along a buddy of mine who knew very little about the Band of Brothers series or World War II. I was surprised how much he enjoyed the tour as well. It was no doubt the best trip I’ve been on. It was well worth every penny I spent, and actually exceeded expectations! Ron Drez was our guide and we couldn’t have asked for a better one. He was so knowledgeable with so many stories. He made the trip so special. Every day was a new adventure. I would suggest starting the trip in Toccoa, GA. It is longer and more money but worth it. It’s been almost 6 years later and I still have great memories of this tour! Simply the best!! I would go again, it was that good!

The Best Tour by far.

My dad and I travelled from Australia to do this tour back in 2005. We had Easy Co veterans Forrest Guth and Buck Taylor on the tour with us. Chris Anderson did an amazing job. The tour was an experience that I will never forget. I can not recommend it highly enough. Thanks Chris and team.

Band of Brothers

Best trip I have ever been on! You really can’t appreciate what our boys did for us until you go on this trip and actually see where they had to go and the hardships they had to endure

Band of Brothers Historical Tour

This tour was beyond our expectations. My husband’s Dad trained at Camp Toccoa and participated in the forced march from Toccoa to Atlanta. Even though he was transferred to the 502nd at Fort Benning, we were able to visit each place he jumped and fought. For my husband to be at the jump zone where his Dad landed 75 years earlier was an unforgettable experience. The celebration of liberation in Eindhoven was another experience we shall never forget. To actually visit the places I had taught about for so many years made this the trip of a lifetime. I only wish I had taken this trip earlier to share with my students and my father-in-law!

Over the years I have taken many tours but without question the origianal Band of Brother’s tour I took in 2013 was the best historical tour I’ve ever experienced. Ron Drez was our leader and he did a masterful job of weaving the experiences of Easy Company losing sight of the bigger picture. One can not walk away from the tour without a deep understanding and lasting admiration of leaders such as Richard Winters. What leadership! On more than one occasion I’ve been tempted to repeat the experience.

Band of Brothers Tour

I had been thinking about this tour for some time & Dave Meyer decided to join me. Chris Anderson & George Luz Jr. made it a truly unforgettable experience with the research & personal contact with the Easy Company guys. We were hoping for a good trip but had a great tour filled with some extras we did not expect that are much appreciated. We had a super group & met some new friends that made it even more special. A big thanks to Chris, George & our driver Henny for a memory of a life time tour. We will recommend SAHT to anyone thinking about this tour, could not be better.

Band of Brothers - September 2018 - Wonderful Tour

This was absolutely the trip of a lifetime. I have wanted to do this tour for years and I finally set aside the time to do it. Chris Anderson, George Luz, Jr. and Henny (our great driver) made the tour truly unforgettable. Every day was a new adventure for me and my wife – – made even more special by the personal experiences relayed to us by Chris and George because of their friendships with the men of Easy Company (and George’s stories of his dad). Thanks to Chris, George and Henny for a job that went “above and beyond the call of duty.” For my fellow tour guests (who are now my new good friends)… “What time is it?”….

Band of Brothers Tour Sept 2016

This was as amazing trip and opportunity to learn more about Easy Company. This was my third trip with Stephen Ambrose Tours and was the best of the trio. Our group was wonderful and resulted in a couple of friends we still remain in contact with. The historian was Ron Drez, his knowledge of the Band of Brothers and their story was second to none. At every stop on the tour Ron was able to relate the story in a way that painted a picture that even someone with only a casual knowledge of history, could follow along. All accommodations and meals were first class and impeccably arranged. I highly recommend SAHT to all that our looking to learn more about the Band of Brothers. Looking forward to my next trip with them, this time for the 75th anniversary of DDay.

The tour and our June 2018 guides

An experience of a lifetime. Not just information. An exercise of the heart as well, that lingers long in its memories. Great that teenagers were along with their parents as well as old geezers like me, and a group in the middle whose parents or grandparents had participated in WWII. Chris Anderson & George Luz were the perfect team of guides. Chris the historian who interviewed Stephen Ambrose and Easy Co’s survivors and George the son of an Easy Co soldier depicted in the book and HBO series

I’ve wanted to take this trip ever since Stephen Ambrose lead it. When Mike and I first started talking about it and researching options he mentioned another company, but to me there was only one choice: Stephen Ambrose wrote the book on the Band of Brothers. I regretted not being able to make the trip with Ambrose but still felt the group he started would provide the best tour. The trip was better than I ever hoped for – the personal stories and insights, and the passion for the men of Easy Company, that George and Chris shared with us could not have been duplicated by any other team. I am very grateful! I still believe taking the trip with Ambrose would have been wonderful, but recognize that Band of Brothers was a book project for him. Chris and George literally grew up with them. No other team can match that! My wife and I are planning to take the tour together in 2019, maybe 2020, provided that Chris and George are still leading it as a team. It has been my stories about the two of them that convinced her to go.

Fantastic, Excellent, Outstanding....

I was on the June 2016 tour…Fantastic, Excellent, Outstanding are just some of the terms that come to mind when I remember this tour.

We stayed in very nice hotels, the bus was first rate (especially our driver Henne…the man could drive a bus anywhere). The historian/guide Chris Anderson was informative, knowledgeable and most importantly cared deeply about the subject (he also had some great back stories to tell). Our logistics Guide Matt Brogge did a fantastic job (he had us running like a well oiled machine).

I’ve read comments from people who have not taken this tour and they seem to believe that this tour is a victory lap for Easy Company, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne. It is not that at all.

While the tour does concentrate on Easy Company it does not skimp or leave out other units who were involved in action in the areas where you will visit. For example, standing on Omaha Beach at the Vierville Draw and looking at the terrain and the defensive positions that had to be taken and overcome, will fill you with awe for the men of the 29th Infantry Division who assaulted the beach.

Following Easy Company will give you a good idea of what the average combat infantry man went through. This tour put into perspective the large scale of the war and also the personal human toll paid for in blood by common everyday Americans. (Not a very easy thing to do, in my opinion)

I would not mess around with any other tour company, if you want a fantastic experience, tour with this group. They hit the ball out of the park!

Thanks again, Chris, Matt and Henne! (I am already looking at my next tour)

A bucket list trip

We took this trip in 2015. It was an awesome trip and we are so thrilled we did it. I highly recommend this particular tour. I’m sure we went places and saw things other tours are not able to do. It was a bucket list trip and totally worthwhile. Loved it! The promotions are not hype. Accommodations, food, transportation all as advertised.

The best trip we have ever taken

We have both traveled a great deal, in this country and abroad, and this (Band of Brothers tour with Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours) was truly the best trip we have ever taken. Our historian was an incredible guide and wealth of information. We feel truly blessed that we had such a wonderful team and such a memorable experience.

Unforgettable experiences

Each day was filled with unforgettable experiences. The details about the places and events made the tour so memorable and I learned so much.

Have you dreamed of taking a World War II tour that would satisfy your inner history buff, but the price tag always held you back? The 9-day economic package of our Band of Brothers Tour is an adventure designed for your bucket list and your pocketbook. Currently, it is the cheapest tour of its kind on the market. On top of that, since it is shorter than the all-inclusive tour, it is even easier to plan your holiday schedule. This tour is an unforgettable journey hitting all the highlights of the American WWII war effort in the footsteps of the famous 101st “Screaming Eagles” Airborne Division. Feel the sands of the landing beaches between your toes in Normandy, stand at the very foxholes where heroes fought for your freedom during the Battle of the Bulge and breathe the Alpine air at Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest. From France to Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany, this tour covers all the sites to make an armchair historian’s dream a reality.

Detailed Highlights and Itinerary

Passengers are greeted at the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris and transferred by coach to Normandy. In the evening there is an introduction to the tour and a chance for the Passengers to introduce themselves. After the airport pick-up and transfer to Normandy we spend the next few days exploring the iconic shores of the Landing Beaches. Two days of this leg will focus on the American landing beaches Utah and Omaha, where we will pay our respects to the heroism that contributed to the battle that changed history. We also visit Gold Beach, where our fellow Allied troops fought to secure a foothold in Europe.

The second leg of our journey heads east to Belgium, where we visit the sites of the Battle of the Bulge, the foxholes of Bois Jacques, and the military vehicles at the Bastogne Barracks. You’ll have ample time to explore these quaint areas independently and appreciate the incredible history and awe-inspiring monuments of this vital region. We pay our respects to the fallen soldiers at Luxembourg American Cemetery where General Patton is also buried.

We begin by exploring the somber site of the first Nazi concentration camp, where we can pay our respects to the victims of Hitler’s genocide. We then head to Munich to learn about the Third Reich before we visit the Eagle’s Nest. The tour ends with a chance for reflection and community over a farewell drink.

The Marley Brothers announce tour to honor father's legacy

This will be the brothers' first performance together in two decades.

Bob Marley's legacy will live on in a big way this year.

The Marley Brothers -- Ziggy , Stephen, Julian, Ky-Mani and Damian Marley -- have announced a 22-date tour kicking off this September in a reunion run for the children of Bob Marley.

"The Marley Brothers: The Legacy Tour" will kick off on Sept. 5 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and span a full month before ending on Oct. 5 in Miami, according to a release from Live Nation announcing the tour.

The tour will include individual hits from Bob Marley's children, as well as their father's classics, according to Live Nation. Combined, Marley's children account for several Grammys individually, including Julian Marley's best reggae album win at the 2024 ceremony.

Several of Bob Marley's children were members of a group called Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, founded in 1979, which saw several years of success before the children forged their own solo careers.

The tour will precede what would have been Bob Marley's 80th birthday in 2025, celebrating the reggae innovator and his global success spreading messages of unity and peace. The tour will mark the brothers' first time playing together in two decades.

Blackwood Brothers (1934-2000; 2004-present)

The Blackwood Brothers came from a large and musically gifted family. At least one photo of the family exists from 1899 that shows the Blackwood String Band. In that group were Emmitt Blackwood (father to Roy, Doyle, and James), and seven other aunts and uncles. The Blackwood Brothers formed in 1934 in the midst of the Great Depression after preacher Roy Blackwood moved his family back to their home in Mississippi. His brothers Doyle and James (only 15 at the time) already had some experience singing with Vardaman Ray and Gene Catledge. Adding Roy�s 13-year-old son R. W. to sing tenor, the brothers began to travel and sing locally. They were originally billed as the Choctaw County Jubilee Singers, but it wasn't long before the name was changed to the Blackwood Brothers. By 1939, they were singing on WJDX radio in the state capitol, Jackson, Mississippi. A year or so later, they relocated to Shenandoah, Iowa to sing on KMA radio, a 50,000 watt station. By this point, they were also affiliated with Stamp-Baxter selling songbooks. Doyle left the group in the early 1940s, opening the door for bass singer Don Smith, the first non-family member, to sing with the group. Smith would be replaced by Bill Lyles after a few years. The quartet relocated to Memphis, Tennessee in 1950. Roy had been retired from the tenor position a couple of years earlier, leaving James and R.W. as the remaining family members. Several tenors passed through the group in quick succession until Bill Shaw was hired in 1952. Shaw would stick with the Blackwood Brothers for the next 21 years. The move to Memphis in 1950 proved to be profitable for the Blackwood Brothers as they began to appear on television station WMCT. In 1951, they signed an exclusive recording contract with RCA. On June 14, 1954, the Blackwood Brothers won Arthur Godfrey�s Talent Scouts competition on national television with their rendition of �Have You Talked To The Man Upstairs?� The excitement was short lived however, when a fatal plane crashed claimed the lives of original baritone R W Blackwood and bass singer Bill Lyles just 16 days later in Clanton, AL. The popularity of the group was so strong at this point that 5000 people (including Elvis Presley) attended the joint funeral at Ellis Auditorium in Memphis, Tennessee. After such a tragedy, there was some question as to whether the Blackwood Brothers would continue. Ultimately, Cecil Blackwood replaced his brother at the baritone position, and J D Sumner was brought in to sing bass. With James Blackwood at lead and Bill Shaw at tenor, the vocal line-up of the Blackwood Brothers was set for the next eleven years. Those eleven years are widely considered to be the peak years for the Blackwood Brothers. The four vocalists were complimented by Jack Marshall at piano through 1958 followed by the flashy Wally Varner for the next few years. In due time, they returned to Arthur Godfrey�s Talent Scouts with the new lineup and were again selected as the winners with a performance of "The Good Book." While working together, J D Sumner and James Blackwood put a number of innovative ideas into play. A tour bus is now the standard mode of travel for the vast majority of traveling musicians in most genres of music, not just Southern Gospel. Sumner and Blackwood were the first to customize a bus for group travel. They also launched the National Quartet Convention . Sumner also contributed to the Blackwood Brothers as a songwriter. The group set new standards in the recording studio. During the 1950s, the Blackwood Brothers had formed a partnership with the Statesmen to travel as a team. Due to their popularity, this team had a great deal of clout with concert promoters. The dominance of the Statesmen/Blackwood combination on the concert circuit lasted for about a decade until the rise of gospel music television shows in the 1960s began to give some of their competing groups wider exposure. At this point in history, the industry had moved away from the songbook sales model to a ticketed concert model supplemented by record album sales. The Blackwood Brothers were still a major force in the industry at the end of the 1960s. In 1969, they collected nearly 200,000 signatures on a �God And Country� petition in retaliation to the banning of prayer in school. In 1970, the Blackwood Brothers shared a number one song on the Singing News chart with the Stamps Quartet, "The Night Before Easter." Their biggest success on the chart would come six years later. From August of 1976 to October of 1977, "Learning To Lean" was the number one song on the Singing News chart for an unprecedented 15 months in a row. These were the only two songs that ever reached number one for the group, but it�s safe to say they would have had quite a few more if a national gospel chart had been published during the 1950s and 1960s. In 1971, the Blackwood Brothers were at the center of a scandal that led to the Dove Awards being nullified for that year. An extraordinary number of Gospel Music Association memberships had been sold by the Blackwood Brothers the previous year, which skewed the final results of the Dove Awards in their favor (and in favor of groups they recommended to their fans). James Blackwood, who was on the GMA's board of directors at the time, issued an apology to the industry on behalf of the Blackwood Brothers. James Blackwood left the Blackwood Brothers to join the Masters V in 1981. His son Jimmy took over the lead singing role full-time at this point. Jimmy had been splitting lead singing duties with his father for several years. By the mid-1980s, R W Blackwood Jr had replaced Jimmy at the lead spot. The Blackwood Brothers, now managed by baritone Cecil Blackwood, continued with various members coming and going until the end the 20th century. The group disbanded after the death of Cecil Blackwood in 2000. At that point, James announced on behalf of the Blackwood family that the Blackwood Brothers name was to be retired. However, his son Jimmy put the name back to use in 2004. (James had passed away in 2002.) 2009 was a big year for the Blackwood Brothers. In August, they announced their next CD would be released on the Daywind Records label. It had been quite a few years since the group had a major label's support behind one of their recordings. In December of that same year, the group announced that Jimmy's brother Billy Blackwood would be re-joining the group to sing baritone. It had been several decades since two actual Blackwood brothers had been members of the group at the same time. Three years later, Jimmy left the group and turned the lead singing role over to Michael Helwig. In early 2021, the Blackwood Brothers announced they would no longer be traveling on a full-time schedule. At the same time, the group announced lead singer Jonathan Mattingly (who replaced Helwig in 2017) would also be making appearances with the trio Avenue. A few weeks later, the group announced the departure of 8-year veteran bass singer Butch Owens, with Eric Walker taking his place. The death of long-time tenor Wayne Little at the beginning of 2022 finalized this string of major changes, and Jim Rogers was named in the tenor slot later that year. Other Blackwood Groups Over the years, various members of the Blackwood family have managed groups that were billed with some variation of the family name. Some of those groups include the Blackwood Boys , the Junior Blackwood Brothers , the Blackwood Singers , the Blackwood Gospel Quartet , the Ron Blackwood Quartet , the Blackwood Quartet , Blackwood Voices, and Andrus, Blackwood & Company. Some family members have sung in more than one of these groups. James Blackwood also had a separate group for several years in the 1990s that was billed as the James Blackwood Quartet .

The tour will include individual hits from Bob Marley's children, as well as their father's classics, according to Live Nation. Combined, Marley's children account for several Grammys individually, including Julian Marley's best reggae album win at the 2024 ceremony.

Several of Bob Marley's children were members of a group called Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, founded in 1979, which saw several years of success before the children forged their own solo careers.

The tour will precede what would have been Bob Marley's 80th birthday in 2025, celebrating the reggae innovator and his global success spreading messages of unity and peace. The tour will mark the brothers' first time playing together in two decades.
