What To Expect
After a 1,5 hours drive from Amsterdam we arrive at Dropzone C. This was the landing area of Easy Company. They liked the soft landing in the fields and we can see why. The Paulushoef farm was used as a rallying point and the local people were busy with helping injured and thirsty airbornes. The farm is not open for visitors.
Son en Breugel
From the dropzone we follow the advance of Easy company to the bridge at Son. It was blown up by the Germans. A footbridge was improvised and the advance to Eindhoven continued. Later the German's tried to recapture the bridge with a Panzer attack that was defeated after a hard fight.

A family adventure that created memories for a lifetime.
Kevin C,Dec 27, 2025

5.00This experience meant far more to us than we expected. Standing in the very places where the soldiers of Operation Market Garden fought and fell gave us a sense of connection that was deeply personal for my family of 4. This experience wasn’t just about learning history—it was experiencing the places of history that books and movies cannot express. Hearing the stories while walking the same ground made the war feel closer, more human, and profoundly real. We found ourselves imagining their decisions, their sacrifices, and the impossible moments they faced. It gave us a new level of respect for the men who fought though out the Netherlands and left a lasting impression that we will take with us for the rest of our lives. Jip did an outstanding job of bringing all of these stories to life. He presented pictures, accounts, and his own unique blend of experience that accentuated this trip. This is by far one of the best experiences myself and my family have had in our travels, and we are greatly appreciative of Jip for helping us create family memories that will last a lifetime. We all 50, 40ish, 20 and 12 year olds, recommend this adventure. (5 stars is not enough)

Outstanding Band of Brothers Operation/Market Garden Tour

5.00Jip was outstanding in his knowledge of Easy Co 506th, Band of Brothers and Operation Market Garden. He took us to all the key sites, from the Easy Co. drop zone through The Crossroads, which included a visit to a very cool museum. Was a bucket list tour for me and it exceeded my expectations! Had a running conversation with Jip all day about Easy Co and Operation Market Garden, regarding tactics, personnel, and US Army/British Senior Leaders. Would highly recommend this tour if you are a Band of Brothers or Operation Market Garden Fan!
Must Do Trip for Band of Brothers’ Fans!

Incredible trip through history

5.00Jip took us on an incredible day trip from Amsterdam to Bastogne and Foy! My husband is a passionate about World War II, particularly the journey Easy Company had through Europe. When he saw that we could do this tour, it was a must! Jip was incredibly knowledgeable, helping me learn along the way as I’m not as well-versed in WWII tanks and weapons as my husband. 😉 We both appreciated the depth of Jip’s knowledge, his thoroughly planned itinerary, and his generosity with his time. We were able to visit the Bastogne War Museum, several monuments around Bastogne, the Bois Jacques to see the foxholes and memorial, Foy, and more! It was so powerful to visit these places knowing (and learning more!) about what Easy Company faced right there. If you are interested in the rich history of the region and want to experience it with an incredible guide, look no further! Jip will take you on an amazing ride through history.
Band of Brothers Tour was exceptional and is highly recommended!

Through his deep knowledge of the events and places, Jip explains their operations in precise detail using historical photos and battle maps that take you back to September and October of 1944.
