The year of 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, one of the most pivotal moments in World War II, with over 140,000 lives lost or forever changed.
Our journey begins at the Neuville-en-Condroz American Cemetery, where rows of white crosses pay tribute to thousands of U.S. soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice. We then head to Bastogne, a key stronghold during the battle, where you'll visit McAuliffe Square and see an imposing M3 Sherman Tank—a symbol of Allied resilience.
Next, we visit the Mardasson Memorial, a star-shaped monument honoring American soldiers. The nearby Bastogne War Museum (included) offers immersive 3D displays and powerful stories. Our tour also includes a visit to the German cemetery, before moving to the foxholes in Foy, once occupied by the 101st Airborne Division.
This excursion provides an emotional and comprehensive tribute to all who served, connecting you deeply to this defining moment in WWII.

4.00If 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.

5.00Great 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.
This was an amazing tour!...

5.00Our tour guide, Martin King, was the BEST tour guide we ever had! He is a military historian and he is so incredibly knowledgeable about World War II and The Battle of the Bulge. I learned so much from his stories and information that he willingly shared.about the things we saw and places we visited. It was a long day and it exceeded my expectations. His list of achievements are incredible. He is passionate and enthusiastic about history.

5.00Martin is a fantastic tour guide (albeit he prefers the historian/author title), and a true expert of Bastogne. Highly recommend!
Super Excellent tour.

5.00Martin 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.

3.00The 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!
