Launching their highly anticipated 11-Day Band of Brothers Tour, Beaches of Normandy Tours offers an immersive and educational experience that takes visitors on a poignant journey through historic sites and gripping stories. The meticulously crafted tour serves as a tribute, ensuring the memory of World War II American heroes remains alive.
Reliving pages of history
Founded by Severine and Ed Diaz, Beaches of Normandy Tours was born out of a passion for helping people foster a deep connection with history that moved them.
Raised in the Normandy region of France, Severine was always fascinated with the evocative history of World War II. With both grandfathers having been prisoners of war in Germany, she felt passionately about honoring the life and services of the soldiers at war. Severine eventually studied English language, history, and tourism at the University of Caen, further solidifying her passion for the subject.
Severine worked at Utah Beach Museum in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont for twenty years, serving as General Manager for the past six years. After pursuing higher education in the United States, her husband and President of the company, Ed Diaz, moved to France to pursue his career. Working at the Utah Beach Museum together, Severine and Ed realized they could combine their excitement and motivation to expand their field further. Their epiphany eventually led to the inception of Beaches of Normandy Tours and the tour operator’s Band of Brothers journeys in 2021.
Speaking to Severine Diaz, “With the sudden transformation of the historical tourism industry due to the unprecedented 2020 pandemic, we soon realized the importance of providing comprehensive tours that enable American patriots to forge meaningful connections with their historical heritage across various destinations, all the while ensuring utmost safety and convenience. We decided to use our combined wealth of experience and unwavering commitment to this goal and assembled a team of like-minded individuals to establish the Beaches of Normandy Tours. It’s a project rooted in our shared passion, first-hand experience, and unwavering dedication to this endeavor.”
The 11-Day Band of Brothers Tour: Honoring the legacy of American heroes

The tour guides patriots looking to remember and honor their sacrifices, journeying through the hallowed beaches of Normandy to Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest, encompassing pivotal events and noteworthy sites associated with the American effort in World War II.
Following the footsteps of the famous Easy Company, a renowned American parachute rifle company of the 101st Airborne Division, the first few days of the Band of Brothers Tour begin with exploring all five landing beaches.
