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.

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!

4.00Beautiful 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.
Interesting even for a layperson

4.00Our tour guide, Martin, was a cool guy. He knew his stuff! He had lots of stories to tell, many from people who had been in the war. He knows a ton about battle strategy. The bus ride is pretty long, but at least it goes through gorgeous countryside. A stop in thr town of Bastogne would have been great.

5.00Martin was an excellent guide ! He is very knowledgeable of WW2 and especially the Battle of the Buldge. Taught the group through stories and answered all of our questions. Definitely a great tour. Would like to go back and stay a couple of days in Bastogne.

5.00Late entry by 9 months - our guide was pretty knowledgeable as he has done research on the Battle of Bulge and wrote multiple books.
This is the best tour I found availabe at this price.

3.00It was good but not great in my opinion. Our guide was a well published and very personable historian of the Battle, Martin King, a Scotsman. He was a good talker but a "too much talker" with a rambling narrative of stories of the Battle and his encounters with the actual participants featured in the "Band of Brothers" miniseries. We spent the most time at the Museum in Bastogne which presents a photo and placard history of the War years 1914 thru 1945 along with some displays of tanks and equipment used by both sides. I am well versed in this history having read many books on this particular era of European militarism so there was little presented that I did not know. A stop at the US Army Cemetery was a bit haunting - so many markers. We visited one battleground in Bastogne where the 101st Airborne Division (Band of Brothers) were posted and saw the remnants of the foxholes where they fought and died.
