Acerca de esta actividad

Su excursión privada a los enclaves de la II Guerra Mundial comienza con recogida por la mañana en su hotel del centro de Bruselas. Su apasionado e informativo guía compartirá con usted numerosos hechos históricos y anécdotas sobre la Batalla de las Ardenas y podrá personalizar su itinerario para adaptarlo a sus intereses particulares.

Viaje en un vehículo de lujo privado al cementerio estadounidense de Henri-Chapelle, donde casi 8000 soldados están enterrados. Las solemnes hileras de lápidas son una vista asombrosa. Su próxima parada será un monumento conmemorativo entre Bullingen y Butgenbach, dedicado a los soldados de la 1.ª División de Infantería, la división más antigua del ejército de los EE. UU., que luchó valientemente contra el ataque alemán. La división recibió el apodo de Big Red One (el gran uno rojo) debido a sus insignias rojas con el número 1.

Seguirá hasta el sitio de la masacre de Malmedy, en la que 84 prisioneros de guerra estadounidenses fueron brutalmente asesinados por las SS. Durante el almuerzo (no incluido en el precio) en la ciudad de Stavelot, no dude en preguntar a su guía lo que desee. Después del almuerzo, vea un tanque alemán Tiger II en La Gleize, un pequeño pueblo que sufrió seriamente en la Batalla de las Ardenas.

A continuación cruce la frontera hasta Hamm en Luxemburgo y visite el cementerio estadounidense y monumento conmemorativo de Luxemburgo. Vea el lugar donde enterraron al General estadounidense Patton y 5.076 militares estadounidenses.

Desde allí, continuará hasta el cementerio de guerra alemán de Recogne, donde hay enterrados casi 7000 soldados. Mientras viaja por Foy, no se pierda las madrigueras de zorros intactas en el borde del bosque. Su próxima parada es uno de los enclaves más conmovedores de su viaje, el monumento conmemorativo del Mardasson cerca de Bastoña. Este gigantesco monumento conmemorativo rinde homenaje a la memoria de los casi 77 000 soldados estadounidenses muertos o heridos durante la Batalla de las Ardenas.

Si desea obtener más información sobre la Batalla de las Ardenas, explore las exhibiciones interactivas en el Museo de la Guerra de Bastoña (no incluido en el precio). En Bastoña, también verá un tanque Sherman conservado y monumentos dedicados a dos famosos generales estadounidenses, el general McAuliffe y el general Patton.

Salga de Bastoña y recorra el pintoresco valle del Mosa y la autopista hacia Bruselas. Esta memorable excursión privada de 12 horas por lugares históricos de la Batalla de las Ardenas termina en su hotel de Bruselas alrededor de las 20.00 h.

Jean and his wife Linda were amazing tour guides and we learned so much about the Battle of the Bulge. He has a standard tour route but does tailor it to what you would like to see - including Spa's F1 racetrack for my husband. We saw more than I ever thought we would in one day. Worth every penny. He is retiring after this year, so be sure to book this tour before he does! He also does WWI and Waterloo tours.

Jean was very knowledgeable and flexible with his itinerary. We got to see items off the normal path. It was humbling to walk through the woods and see foxholes still exist from the 101st Airborne group outside of Bastogne. I highly recommend it!

We were fortunate to have Jean and his wife Linda as our guides on this tour. It was a full day that was well organized to ensure that we were able to really experience the history of the area. Jean was very knowledgeable, experienced and organized in his approach to the trip. We covered a lot of territory and enjoyed the excursion.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide was a very lovely man and went out of his way to take us to all that was important on this tour. The only thing we were a bit disappointed in was his English was a bit hard to understand at times. But apart from that a very good tour.

Jean deserves a 6 or even a 10 rating on this tour!! He was everything I had read about and that much more. My Father was in the 101st Airborne at Bastogne when the famous Nuts response was uttered Jean was aware that our interests were to follow the path of my Father and he did an outstanding job making it happen. He was also great with his sense of direction to get us to the nearest pharmacy so I could buy some gauze to bandage my arm when I accidentally stepped off a curb. Through all of this, he was able to cover all the critical elements of the tour in a timely fashion. Thank you Jean for an outstanding job.

We travel often and have taken lots of tours, both private and group. This was, without a doubt, the WORST tour we have ever had. If you are thinking of booking this tour, SAVE YOUR MONEY! This was more of a really expensive taxi service than a tour. His lack of knowledge and history regarding World War II made us speculate if he had just decided he could make money doing this tour, so went to the museum to pick up a couple of quotes that he could just parrot over and over, thus qualifying himself as a tour guide. His lack of real knowledge on the subject was breathtaking, He was like a museum audio tour and just kept repeating the same short factoids over and over, no matter what you asked. The day pretty much went along with him telling us a very brief and obvious anecdote about where we were going, then driving the rest of the way mostly in silence, then pulling up to the site, him pointing to it and saying, there it is, then driving on to the next place. Half the time we didn't even get out of the car, and these sites were sometimes an hour apart. It was a lot of silence, unless he was talking about himself. If this is the only tour you can find, you are better off just finding a ride to the World War II Museum. It is a truly great and well done museum, and only about 5 minutes from Jack's Woods if you want to go see the foxholes. Our guide almost made us miss the Museum too. He was uninformed about the last entry time as well as how long it should take someone with any real interest in the subject to go through it. We were so disgusted with his tour that we requested he take us to the museum about two hours earlier than he was going to. We actually got there about 15 minutes before the last entry, and whereas he had originally planned on us being there about thirty minutes, it realistically takes about two hours to do the different exhibits and displays. If you are looking for a Battle of the Bulge tour, you can certainly do better than this one.

The tour guide was excellent. We had the choice to vary the tour and agreed to visit the Luxemburg cemetery to visit General Patton's grave. The tour guide also showed us around Luxemburg City, which was a bonus. I would recommend this tour.
