Would highly recommend Martin. Martin was fantastic and so knowledgeable about all things WW11 . The museum was probably the best we’ve ever been to and the barge trip back was great.
I traveled in the Netherlands for 4 days, and this was by far my favorite experience. Martin is supremely knowledgeable about all things Market Garden and was able to personalize the tour in a way that allowed me to see as much as possible in the 1 day I was able to set aside for this. Martin is very friendly, knowledgeable, and personable, and it was a joy to spend the day with him. He does other WW2 focused tours, including multi-day tours of the Battle of the Bulge, and I will definitely be booking my next tour with him next time I am in Europe.
Martin provided an excellent full day custom tour of key historical points for the Band of Brothers and of Operation Market Garden in WWII. We covered the entire line of battle from south to north. Many of the locations we visited were a bit off the beaten path! In every location, Martin provided very interesting historical antidotes that helped bring history to life. Martin is very well versed in the history of all the locations visited. His passion for the events clearly showed during each stop we made. I was particularly glad to see the "Crossroads" Easy Company battlefield and exploring the neighborhood in Arnhem where General Urquhart was trapped while trying to get to his division. We enjoyed the conversation with Martin throughout the day as well. It was also very helpful to have Martin pick us up and deliver us back to our hotel in Amsterdam. I am happy to recommend Martin for anyone who wants a full day tour with feet on the ground exploring Band of Brothers actions in Holland as well as Operation Market Garden. And based on this trip, I would enjoy hiring Martin on his tours to other WWII locations such as Bastogne.
