Traveler reviews
Super Excellent tour.
This was a super excellent tour. I don’t know how it could be better. Our guide is/was a teacher, he had hard copy handouts for us to go through. We experienced everything we were looking for.

Martin King was a gem of a tour guide for this full day experience. He knew so much and the ride on the bus felt like we were in a documentary narrated by him. He was such a pleasure to talk to at the different stops.
Overall a lovely day, with one incident sullying the experience.
The trip to Bastogne was nice, the museum is well done and very informative. At Bois Jacques a vote was taken whether to have more time at Bastogne for shopping and skip the German cemetery. Initially the vote was in favour of the cemetery. Then a second vote was taken, which was in favour of skipping the cemetery. Why have it on the itinerary if it can be vetoed by a vote? I would still recommend the tour, as Martin was knowledgeable and friendly and otherwise great. But the vote left a bad taste in our mouths.
I’d do this tour again!
What a great tour! Martin has a lot of knowledge and was a great guide.
Impressive tour around the Battle of the Bulge with great respect for the fighters.
Beautiful trip, without me having to arrange anything myself, an excellently organized trip with a skilled English speaking guide. Cons: move the break hour after the visit to the American cemetery, so that there is opportunity to have lunch in Bastogne. Now this wasn't until 2pm that's really too late. Furthermore, a compliment for this impressive tour. Highly recommended.
