5.00Levi was well prepared with maps and diagrams that provided context and overview. Stops on the way to Bastogne anchored the day in the deeds and experiences of individuals. The three-campus museum in Bastogne is excellently curated and narrated. Hang close to Levi in the museum for additional commentary and focus. The German cemetery and memorial chapel was such an appropriate last stop. Yes, allied deeds and resolve and sacrifice warrant these memorializations, but then so to does the existential futility of all the unnamed German soldiers in this cemetery. Lives gone with no name ... No witness to tell their story. The 90 km drive back to Bruxelles at the end of the day was time for reflection and follow up questions and comments with Levi.
This is the tour you want for Bastogne.

5.00Do yourself a favor, stop scrolling and book this tour. This is the one you want. I have to laugh at the ONE review he has that says it’s not worth the money. Wrong wrong wrong. Totally worth it. Beyond his knowledge of the subject material, which is clearly extensive, his obvious passion and reverence for these sites is very touching. One example, we were in the woods of the Bois Jaques, I was walking around looking at things. Levi noticed someone had previously dropped a paper napkin on the ground. He went over picked it up, and I heard him whispering to himself “What is this? Why do people do this? this is sacred ground.” He carried it with him all the way to the car park to put in the waste bin. If that doesn’t say your guide cares, I don’t know what does. Originally, I was going to rent a car and try to see these sites myself. Very glad I didn’t, as I believe I saw in one day, what would have taken me at least 3, to see on my own. Not to mention the small hidden gems Levi knows about and points out at every stop. Great tour!
A Must-See for History Lovers or Military Enthusiasts.

5.00I cannot say enough good things about our tour and amazing tour guide, Levi! Visiting Bastogne and the battlefield meant so much to me, as my dad served there as a medic. Levi found extra information that made my visit so very meaningful. He has tremendous knowledge, and his love of history is unmistakable. He made what would have been a good experience into an excellent and unforgettable one. We made a number of fascinating stops along the way to Bastogne, and I learned so much. If I could, I’d give the tour a hundred stars!
Bastogne, battle of the bulge, and more.

5.00Wonderful. Levi is a warm and personable treasure trove of information and stories. We spent a full day and were engaged the entire time. He accommodated any special requests and knew many local shopkeepers who gave us special treatment. The tour is very in-depth into the battle of the bulge and Bastogne’s role but included a stop at a cathedral and the Adolph Sax’s (inventor of the saxophone) birthplace in Dinan. If you are anywhere near this region of Belgium and are interested in WWII and battle of the bulge, book Levi.
An amazing Bastogne and Battle of the Bulge trip

5.00It was an amazing tour! Levee was an exceptional tour guide. He really explained very well the history and provided great insight about the stories. We stopped in several places that brought a complete picture of the battle. Using his tablet he also shared movies, documentaries, and/or pictures showing how things looked back then when the war happened. We also appreciated his stories about the towns as we were driving to the next stop. The lunch stop was also a good place to eat sandwiches.
Must do.

5.00Excellent tour! Can not say enough good things about Levi and the tour he prepared. The weather was snowy and cold but he took is out and showed us all the sites. He was also knowledgeable about WWI and the region.

5.00Our tour with Levi was absolutely exceptional and truly unforgettable. From the moment he picked us up promptly at our hotel, everything ran smoothly and professionally. Levi guided us through a variety of fascinating site, just as described in the tour description, and at each stop, he shared insightful stories and historical context that brought the Battle of the Bulge to life. His deep respect for history and for those who fought in the battle was evident throughout the day. We wholeheartedly recommend Levi and this tour to anyone visiting the area. Even if someone in your group isn’t a military history enthusiast, they’ll leave with a newfound appreciation for the events and enjoy the stunning Belgian scenery along the way.

5.00It was a long tour but a great tour. Levi was our guide and he was great. We saw sites on the way to Bastogne related to the battle and a few other sites not related but very interesting anyway. Spent about 2.5 hrs. at museum and saw several Band of Brothers sites also including Foy. Saw other sites in Bastogne.
Highly recommend this tour!

5.00My father and I got to spend the day with Fabiano and it was a memory we will cherish forever. We spent all day riding around with Fabiano going from location to location, each of which he was very well informed and prepared with interesting stories. Fabiano clearly has a passion for the Battle of the Bulge and is willing to go into great detail about a fascinating moment in history.
