About this activity

An 11-hour immersive journey through World War II history, tracing the pivotal Battle of the Bulge from Belgian Bastogne to the American Cemetery in Luxembourg. Visit key WWII memorials, a comprehensive war museum, and explore Luxembourg City's medieval Old Town in a single day.

In Bastogne, we take you to McAuliffe Square and see the bronze statue of General McAuliffe alongside a Sherman Battle Tank. We call at the famous Mardasson Memorial honoring the memory of all allied soldiers wounded or killed during the Battle of the Bulge. 

The Bastogne War Museum is the must-see. Apart from lunch facilities, the museum offers a lot of comprehensible information. 

We drive across the Luxembourg border to Hamm where we visit the breathtaking American cemetery as well as the tomb of General Patton. In order to wind up in beauty, we have a leisurely stroll through the old city of Luxemburg. 

You see the cathedral, the Palace of the Grand Duke. In the lower part of the city, we show you a trail of casemates, the abbey of Neunmünster, the city walls, and the picturesque sites along the river Alzette.

Please note: This tour does not include hotel pick up and drop off service. This means that you will have to arrange your own transfers in order to reach the designated meeting point and start the tour. Meeting point: Grasmarkt Straat 82
