Each tour concentrates in areas of Europe where individual military units composed of American GI's fought to defeat fascism in 1944 and 1945.

World War II Tours of Europe is a subsidiary of Custom Euro Tours which is owned and operated by Dennis Ross, who has over 30 years' experience in the travel business. Mr. Ross has worked with actual veterans over the past 20 years developing custom group tours escorting them back through their old battle fields of Europe.
