Fra Bruxelles: Patton & Battle of the Bulge Tour (LUX + BE)
Beskrivelse
Følg i George S. Pattons fodspor og genoplev de dramatiske begivenheder i Battle of the Bulge på en helt privat dagstur fra Bruxelles*. Rejs gennem Ardennes-regionen og opdag, hvordan en af de mest intense og afgørende kampe i Anden Verdenskrig udfoldede sig under den hårde vinter 1944-1945. Vejlederen lever gennem fortælling og historisk sammenhæng erfaringerne fra soldater, kommandører og civile, der er fanget i kaoset i den tyske offensiv. Udforsk vigtige steder, der er forbundet med slaget, i Belgien og Luxembourg, herunder Bastogne (Bois Jacques, MacAuliffes hovedkvarter) og vigtige mindesmærker (såsom Patton's Grave), mens du får en dybere forståelse af de strategier, vanskeligheder og vendepunkter, der formede udfaldet af krigen. Din private Vejleder tilpasser oplevelsen til dine interesser, så du kan udforske militær strategi, personlige historier eller den bredere historiske sammenhæng i dybden. *Pick-up + drop-off inkluderet (private bil)

Our guides were very flexible and the tour was exactly what we were looking for to visit Pattons grave and the American cemetary in Luxembourg.
Thank you for your review, we have shared it with the team!
We started with lunch. We were charged for the guide's food! Next, stop paid for entry to the battle field, which seemed to be based on Band of Brother's series. Patton museum is interesting and small. The last stop Bastonge War Museum, which we paid $54 entrance fee, was closed upon our arrival. There is no place to request a refund. Buyer beware. You are paying for transportation only.
Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to provide some clarifications regarding the points you raised: -It is by no means mandatory to invite the guide to lunch. If this occurred, it would have been by mutual agreement between you and the guide. -The final stop on the tour was not the museum itself, but rather the adjacent Mardasson Memorial. The entrance fee you paid was for a single ticket granting access to all museum sites in Bastogne, such as Bois Jacques and the Bastogne War Museum. This unified ticket is required for entry to Bois Jacques, a legendary site of the Battle of Bastogne. It is important to note that: -Our team consisted of two people dedicated exclusively to your group: a private driver and a guide. You were therefore not only paying for transportation, but for a fully organized and personalized tour, with staff available to you for almost 11 hours. -We offered you complimentary admission to the Patton Museum, valued at €20, so you could enjoy a guided visit of the site. -We made a 130 km detour to visit a location not included in the original itinerary, at no additional cost to you. -Our team stayed with you 1 hour and 15 minutes beyond the scheduled time to ensure you had a comprehensive experience. This extra time, valued at approximately €180, was provided free of charge. As a result, your total experience lasted 10 hours and 45 minutes instead of the planned 9 hours and 30 minutes. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, Management Team
Lots of time on the road to Patten gravesite and unknown soldiers’ site. Great museum to tour on our own.
Great tour in the footsteps of the Battle of the Bulge! You can clearly see the hardness of the fighting by visiting these unforgettable sites and still we had neither snow nor freezing wind! These places of remembrance carried us in the footsteps of the brave Americans who came to free us. Many thanks to our guide who, through his explanations, made us relive these difficult moments of the fighting. Bastogne will remain in our memories for a long time!!
Merci pour votre évaluation!- LH, founder
Everything is taken care of for us, the car picked us up from the hotel, and the guide handled everything. I enjoyed being guided as I spend my day monitoring and planning as an independent contractor. I learned a lot about the history of the Battle of the Bulge and what the soldiers experienced, including the intense weather conditions. It’s a plus to have done it in the winter and I recommend doing it during the month of December. And finally, museums are very immersive
Merci à vous, j'espère que vous avez passé un bon moment avec Rodolfo!- LH, founder
What marked me was the staging of the guide who had become in dress condition during the last World War, he impressed us with the richness of his historical speech which was witness to the heritage situations of the time, the historical monuments as well as the remains where our ancestors lived during these difficult trials. We thank from the bottom of our hearts the cultural and historical agency that has superbly planned all the details while preserving our comfort and meeting all our expectations. Thanks for sure we'll be back for another trip back in time.
Merci beaucoup pour votre évaluation! nous transmettons vos félicitations au guide- LH, founder
We have been on a tour with Jeremie, who was a very nice guide. We spent some times at the Bois Jacques and then went to explore Bastogne. Thanks to its knowledge and to the visits, we have been able to better understand this part of history. Then we went to Luxembourg to see the battlefield and the tomb of Patton, which was a very impactful moment. I recommend!
Thank you so much for your review! - LH, founder
I was looking for something out of the ordinary. Where there weren't always the large number of tourists and it was something more personalized. :)
I made it a fun and interesting experience! I liked it a lot! We have seen incredible historical places.
Excellent service, very good guidance! specific and very attentive. Highly recommended, a different visit within the typical city tours of Lima.
