Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours specializes primarily in WWII itineraries. In the tradition of our late founder, we have brought thousands of people to the battlesites of Normandy, Operation Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge and Anzio on our D-Day to the Rhine, Band of Brothers and Italian Campaign tours, to honor the men who fought for freedom.The Ambrose family spent vacations traveling the Lewis and Clark Trail on foot, canoe and horseback. Following the Ambrose custom, we offer a Corps of Discovery Expedition Tour, retracing the footsteps of Lewis and Clark through Montana and Idaho. In homage to Dr. Ambrose's passion for the War Between the States, we run the Civil War – Key to the Confederacy Tour, which focuses on the western battlefields and the importance of the Mississippi River to the war.

Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours continues to preserve his legacy and expand the carefully conceived and executed heritage itineraries inspired by his life’s work.

Our historians are experts in their field of history and world-renowned authors.  Their years of extensive research and interviewing hundreds of World War II veterans on the very battlefields on which they fought add a personal dimension to our tours.  It is a highlight to hear them tell these stories of America’s heroes at the very places where they occurred.  These harrowing tales of bravery and courage capture a moment in time.
We invite you to travel with us through the battlefields of Europe and the Pacific, and follow the trails of explorers in the American West. Here our historians will share these remarkable narratives that have changed the course of history.  It is their passion and enthusiasm that leaves our fellow travelers with memories of a lifetime.

Stephen Ambrose Tours has extensive experience in designing and customizing private group tours for different orgnizations such as student/alumni groups, professional organizations and military associations. We would be happy to work with your group to develop an ideal itinerary to suit your needs.
