Great for history buffs - It was an excellent tour for history buffs. My friend and I were able to get a great feel for the battle of Bastogne. And the city tour of Luxembourg was very in depth and enjoyable. I liked how we pushed the pace and got a lot done.

Excellent informational tour. - This tour was very comprehensive for a day tour. Stephen was an extremely informative guide. We’ve taken four tours on our trip and he has been the best guide we’ve had. The tour was 13 hours and well worth the money. My husband and I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in WWII history. The added walking tour of old Luxembourg City was very nice as well.

If you love history, you will love this tour! - Seeing the historical sites associated with the Battle of the Bulge was both informative and emotional. The sites, the museum, the cemeteries, the countryside make it all so real.
The side trip to Luxembourg was also fantastic.
The tour guide, Stephan, was so knowledgeable and informative and he brought this all to life!

A great WW2 experience if you’re visiting Belgium - I got this tour for my dad for his birthday and he absolutely loved every minute of it. We had to change the plan for the tour due to summer traffic, but our guide had a backup plan for some different sights to see. The museum and the sights were great! Definitely a lot to see.

A must for history buffs - This trip is a must for any history buff! Johann is an amazing tour guide. Knowledgeable, professional and witty, he could lecture at a university. The tour starts with a quick drive around Brussels, showing many famous museums and statues. On the ride to the Ardennes, Johann provided great context starting from the Roman empire and leading up to the WW2 and battle of the bulge. Arriving at the bulge museum, we explored on our own before heading off to the actual battlefield as a group. Standing over easy companies foxholes was an absolute surreal experience. Likewise the German cemetery. The rest of the day was spent in Luxembourg and paced well, we returned to Brussels at 2030 hours. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone if you only have a day to see Bastogne, it's a fantastic deal with an amazing tour guide. The bus was very comfortable, and the tour started right on time at 0800. Thank you for making this experience one to remember!

A Trip to places to those we owe a debt we cannot possibly repay - This was an amazing trip with fabulous detail including a well organized book of facts about the Battle of the Bulge which cost more American lives then D Day. Stefaan weaves through history, the region, sacred ground, battle fields and his own family experiences to add depth to what you see. The sites include the American Cemetery at Liege (sacred), Bastogne, the crossroads-what the battle was for, the Memorial, Museum both exceptionally done, the Ardenne Forest-Jacks Woods where the 101st-Band of Brother dug in, you can stand in their fox holes and only imagine.. then to Durbay a beautiful little city for a nice dinner. The day was long but when your seeing what your seeing it goes by in the blink of an eye.
If you have an interest in the historic battle fields, walking the geography and with the spirits of the battle this is a must.
And the Belgium people are still appreciative, not to mention the beauty of their country.
*Tangent here-if you haven't seen a "Belgium Blue" you don't know how muscular a bull can get. The elder lady next to me screamed for the bus driver to stop so she could get a pic, I though wtf, then I saw the bull....wow...I took a pic as well.
Thank you Stefaan!!
Hope you enjoy the movie!
And welcome back Luigi!

Bastogne tour - Having a parent who fought in the Battle of the Bulge, this was a must do tour for us. The Ardennes Cemetery and the Bastogne War Museum were outstanding.
The guide was somewhat knowledgeable about the battle, but could honestly have given much more information throughout the journey. He filled us in with an overview on the way to Bastogne, but said little to nothing on the return trip about the battle. He also left us in the midst of Brussels with no idea how to get back to our hotel. The least he could have done is gotten us back to the tour office from where we began the day. This proved to be problematic without a map at our disposal.
There was also a huge miscommunication re the length of the tour. The voucher said it was a 10 hour tour, but the guide planned for a 12 hour day. As a result, we were late returning to Brussels causing us to miss our dinner reservations compounded by lack of good directions to aid us in navigating Brussels.
