5.00I took the 2.5 hour Battle of Arnhem walking tour with David van Buggenum. As a military history enthusiast, the Battle of Arnhem was my primary reason for visiting. David did an absolutely fantastic job. His depth of expertise on the battle, the context surrounding it, and the anecdotes from those who fought in it made it a truly memorable experience. He has literally written books on the subject and you can see his passion and knowledge coming through, whether it’s discussing small unit tactics or the personalities involved in the battle. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking to learn more about battle.
Excellent 2.5 hour...

5.00Excellent 2.5 hour walking tour covering the battle for Arnhem during Operation Market Garden. Sander is very knowledgeable about the individual unit actions within Arnhem and points out small “hidden gem” details during the tour that are not covered in most major historical accounts of the battle.

5.00Our tour guide, Wilson, was very knowledgeable. Having already gotten some understanding of the battle of Arhnem and Operation Market Garden, we were able to gain more understanding of the events of the battle, accompanied by pictures taken at that time. We walked to some of the main locations of the battle around Arhnem. It was good to get an idea of the challenges faced by both the British and German sides in the battle.
Excellent tour of ‘The bridge too far’
