We Have Launched a New D-Day Normandy Tours Website!

Stephen Ambrose on early D-Day Tour

As a tribute to the soldiers who fought on D-Day, we have launched a new Stephen Ambrose D-Day Tours website.

Our renowned D-Day to the Rhine Tour dates back to the 1970s, from the days when Stephen E. Ambrose was a history professor at the University of New Orleans (UNO). At the time, fellow faculty member Peter McLean was administering the Innsbruck study abroad program for the university, and it was his idea to start the trips to Europe. During a leisurely sail on Lake Pontchartrain they decided to arrange to travel to Europe in 1979 to do the site inspection for what would become the first commercially operated D-Day tour.

Today, owner Dr. Edie Ambrose, who is Stephen Ambrose’s niece and also served as his teaching assistant at UNO, and her husband, Yakir Katz, carry on the history and legacy of these tours. Stephen Ambrose D-Day Tours is the product of 35 years of experience on the path of World War II history. The knowledge that comes from Stephen Ambrose as Eisenhower’s biographer, the expert WWII speakers he could garner, and his interviews with the men who fought on D-Day and in Normandy continue to inform our tours.
