9-day Normandy - Market Garden - Battle of the Bulge Tour

Our Battlefield Tour takes you on an epic 9-day journey through the various sites of the Battle of Normandy, Operation Market Garden, and the Battle of the Bulge. We walk the sands of the American D-Day landing beaches, stand atop the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc and pay our respects at the Normandy and the Luxemburg American cemeteries. We journey on north east to the Netherlands and then to the south to Belgium and Luxemburg, where we explore the battlefields of operation Market Garden and the Batlle of the Bulge, crossing the bridges over the rivers Meuse, Waal and Rhine, crouch in the foxholes of Bois Jacques, visiting the “Nuts!” Cave in Bastogne with many more well-known or off the beaten path sites.
