Traveler reviews
Informative tour, but felt a bit long
I got a chance to see many important historical places in the tour and the guide also explained everything well. The sites of Bastogne and Foy were particularly interesting. But it was a bit tiring to travel so many places in one day. It would be nice to have more time at some of the stops. Overall a good experience, but it was a bit too long for me.
A good historical review...
A good historical review and exhaustive explanations that added to our comprehension and concourse of the battles
If we are only going to...
If we are only going to have limited time at the museums, they should just be skipped altogether for more sites to see with the guide's expertise.
Amazing expertise!!
Great expedience and would highly recommend for anyone interested in WW2. The tour guide was excellent, and very knowledgeable on the Battke of the Blunge plus WW2 in general. It is a long day so bring water and snacks. Bus ride is long but the tour guide made it go by quickly.
