The Band of Brothers Tour
We are extremely proud and excited to announce that Pathfinder Tours has teamed with Jake Powers and Chad Weisensel in offering the Band of Brothers Tour experience to our customers!
Jake Powers created the Band of Brothers Tours along with his mentor and close friend Major Dick Winters, of the famous Easy Company 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Jake is the official Easy Company historian and knows more about the men and the company than anyone alive.
Chad Weisensel is active with Honor Flight out of Wisconsin, providing trips to WWII veterans to Washington D.C. in order to visit the WWII National Monument. He is an avid historian on WWII and is especially versed in Airborne history. Chad will be providing his expert care for our guest veterans as well as speaking at certain locations during the tours.
As with all of our WWII tours will be accompanied by an 101st Airborne veteran who will share their experiences with you!
Also, on our Full Tours we will be joined by some of the Actors who portrayed the E-Company veterans! Scott Grimes (Malarkey) and James Madio (Perconte) will be joining us in 2010!

Hi! I'm Mark Patterson...
I have been interested in and studying history for over 30 years, traveling extensively through
Western Europe, the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is my goal and passion to expose my customers
to the rich history, culture, people and breathtaking locations of these wonderful countries.
My travel and tour experience is as varied as the many locations that we visit. I've lived in England and Ireland, attending school there for two years, and traveled extensively, searching out what each place had to offer. Many of my family members live in Northern Ireland today.
or many years, I was employed in the Wine, Spirits and Beer industry which exposed me to how and where these beverages are produced. I hope to guide my customers on tours of some of France’s wine and Champaign growing regions as well as trips to Munich to join in the celebration of Octoberfest!
At this time, Pathfinder Tours is pleased to offer many different, exciting, fun and educational tours to great European locations such as, Ireland, England, Scotland, France, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and of course our famous Battlefield Tours.
I strive to offer my customers a memorable experience and provide this at excellent, affordable prices without skimping on important details like transportation, lodging and food.
I invite you to take a look around the website and compare what we offer to other companies offering full service guided tours. I trust that you will like what you find!
