The escorted tour includes visits to WWII battlefields in Belgium in the company of three actors from the award-winning series – Matthew Leitch, Tim Matthews and Peter Mccabe.

The tour is based around two key episodes – Bastogne and Breaking Point – and visits the

Ardennes battlefields close to where Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, fought in the Battle of the Bulge.

Leger Shearings Group’s chief executive, Liam Race, said: “Band of Brothers introduced a new generation to WWII. The three actors on this unique tour will tell the incredible stories of the men they portrayed.”
