Über diese Aktivität

Diese private Führung durch die wichtigsten Schauplätze des Zweiten Weltkriegs beginnt am Morgen mit der Abholung von Ihrem zentral gelegenen Hotel in Brüssel. Ihr leidenschaftlicher und sachkundiger Fremdenführer verrät Ihnen historische Fakten und Anekdoten zur Ardennenoffensive und stimmt den Reiseplan gerne auf Ihre individuellen Interessen ab.

Fahren Sie im privaten Luxus-Fahrzeug zum Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery, wo knapp 8.000 Soldaten begraben liegen. Die endlosen Reihen von Grabsteinen sind ein überwältigender Anblick. Der nächste Stopp ist ein Denkmal zwischen Büllingen und Bütgenbach, das den Soldaten der 1. Infanterie-Division - der ältesten Division der US-Armee - gewidmet ist, die mutig gegen die Deutsche Armee gekämpft hat. Die Division trägt aufgrund der roten Zahl 1 auf den Schulterstreifen den Spitznamen 'The Big Red One'.

Anschließend geht es weiter zum Schauplatz des Malmedy-Massakers, wo 84 amerikanische Kriegsgefangene von der SS brutal hingerichtet wurden. Beim Mittagessen (auf eigene Kosten) in der Stadt Stavelot beantwortet Ihr Fremdenführer gerne all Ihre Fragen. Nach dem Mittagessen besichtigen Sie einen verlassenen deutschen Panzer vom Typ Tiger II in La Gleize, einem kleinen Dorf, das in der Ardennenoffensive zerstört wurde.

Als Nächstes überqueren Sie die Grenze nach Hamm in Luxemburg und besuchen Sie die Luxemburgische Amerikanischen Friedhof und Gedenkstätte. Sehen Sie, wo uns General Patton und 5.076 amerikanischen Soldaten begraben sind.

Von hier aus geht es weiter zum deutschen Soldatenfriedhof in Recogne, wo knapp 7.000 Soldaten begraben sind. Halten Sie bei der Fahrt durch Foy Ausschau nach Schützenlöchern am Rand des Walds. Der nächste Stopp ist einer der bewegendsten Schauplätze Ihres Ausflugs – das Mardasson Memorial in der Nähe von Bastogne. Diese weitläufige Gedenkstätte ist den knapp 77.000 amerikanischen Soldaten gewidmet, die bei der Ardennenoffensive getötet oder verwundet wurden.

Wenn Sie mehr über die Ardennenoffensive erfahren möchten, können Sie sich die interaktive Ausstellung im Bastogne War Museum ansehen (nicht im Preis inbegriffen). In Bastogne besichtigen Sie darüber hinaus einen gut erhaltenen Panzer vom Typ Sherman sowie die Denkmäler zweier berühmter amerikanischer Generäle – General McAuliffe und General Patton.

Sie verlassen Bastogne und fahren durch das malerische Maasetal und über die Autobahn zurück nach Brüssel. Ihre unvergessliche, 12-stündige private Führung durch die historischen Schauplätze der Ardennenoffensive endet mit der Rückkehr zu Ihrem Hotel in Brüssel gegen 20 Uhr.

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.
