With over 25 years of experience taking groups to the battlefields and the American West, Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours ensures historical accuracy and logistical expertise.  We are fortunate to have the most qualified historians lead our tours: Capt. Ronald Drez, Jake Powers, Dr. Steve Weiss, Kevin Hymel, Brig. Raymond Bell, Phil Nordyke, and Maj. Gen. Dave Zabecki.  These gentlemen are leaders in their field of history and world-renowned authors.

When you travel on an Ambrose tour, you will follow in the footsteps of the hundreds of WWII veterans who have traveled with us in the past, like Medal of Honor recipient Walt Ehlers and Maj. Dick Winters, Gen. William Westmoreland and Forrest Pogue; we’ve taken Manfred Rommel and Viscount David Montgomery on a tour, as well as opposing commanders Maj. John Howard and Col. Hans von Luck.  For decades, people have trusted our reputation and traveled the world with us.  Experience history first-hand and join us on your next adventure.
