We set aside the Brussels Capital of Europe to focus on the Brussels Capital of Belgium. A city where the cosmopolitan mixes with the vestiges of the Middle Ages and Modernism, so heterogeneous in its history, its art and its culture that many celebrities surrendered to its charm: from Victor Hugo to Karl Marx, going through Baudelaire, Vincent Van Gogh or Pieter Brueghel. The heritage of its streets is so overwhelming that the hours become minutes admiring the splendor of its buildings, statues and art galleries.

This tour perfectly shows the most underestimated part of Belgian culture - its cuisine. Not only beer, but the kitchen as general. Mussels, chips and chocolate (for dessert) are the first thing to taste when on Belgian soil.

In the Bastogne War Museum there is an array of items related to the Battle of the Bulge (Bataille des Ardennes) and to the Second World War in general. There one can see tanks and other weapons used on both sides of that conflict, military uniforms, photographs, objects which used to be commonly utilized at the time of the War, such as some vinyl records, boxes, music scores, coins, box matches, toys and so on, as well as copies of books (Mein Kampf, for instance) and propaganda posters used at that time when radios and particularly TVs were not very common. Some vehicles used during the War are also exhibited at the Museum. Among them, there is an all-terrain one called VW82, nicknamed Kübelwagen, which was designed by Ferdinand Porche. It was used by the German army in the same way as the Jeep was by the American Army. It didn't weigh much and therefore, it was very easy to manoeuvre. One of the weapons displayed at the museum consists of a set of four machine guns, namely the Maxson type US gun turret. It was originally designed for antiaircraft defence but during the conflict concerned it was also used against the infantry causing massive damage on German troops. Thanks to clear texts, excellent visual supports and captivating scenography exhibited in the Museum one can learn a lot about the Second World War. Besides, during the visit it's possible to be accompanied by the voices of four different characters, to wit, an American corporal, a German lieutenant, a young teacher from Bastogne and a 13-year old schoolboy. That can of course add an extra insight into what can be there seen and read. Albeit those characters are fictitious they represent an amalgam of different people who really existed during that conflict. The different explanatory notes displayed in the Museum is also an excellent material to peruse during the visit in order to learn about some details concerning the situation in the divers countries involved in the War in question until the break out thereof and from the end of the First World War, as well as about some specific phenomena which took place in that period such as the rise of the fascism and the nazi party in Germany. The Museum allows therefore people to apprehend the context in which that conflagration sprang and went on, and is a good means helping current and future generations remember that bloody past and invite them to pay tribute to the ones who fought and the ones who lost their lives in the struggle for human freedom and dignity. The visit of that Museum is therefore highly recommended due to the undeniable interest of all the items there displayed which call up the tragic events having taken place in the middle of the past century, events which, despite their rueful nature and the loss of lives which ensued, is convenient to know due to the importance attached to them insofar as they changed the course of History.

My husband and I travel constantly all over the world and ALWAYS hire private guides. I cannot recommend Joyce highly enough. I am extremely particular about everything--from the type of car we travel in, to choosing the best five-star hotels wherever we go, to where we eat each meal. I enjoy working with a guide who knows the region well and can make knowledgeable recommendations; one who will help me plan our itinerary down to the last detail. Joyce has the patience of a saint; she not only planned ONE detailed itinerary, but when a health issue potentially interfered with our plans and we had to make some major adjustments to both dates and places, at the last minute she she ended up planning a SECOND totally different vacation for us (though I strongly recommend you book as early as possible--since she has many repeat customers, as we will no doubt become!). Not only is she extremely reliable and punctual (I don't think there was one email of the innumerable ones I sent her that was not answered within a few hours--even with a six hour time difference to the US from Belgium!), she also has a great personality. You will no doubt find her charming and extremely accommodating. No matter where we went, the locals knew her and adore her. Instead of the usual tourist traps, she took us places we never would have found on our own (including a chocolate store where we bought the best chocolate ever). No matter the request, she did her very best to fulfill it. On our last day, she even arranged to retrieve my fur hat from a restaurant in Ghent where I had accidentally left it (nearly an hour away) and have it delivered to my hotel! Joyce definitely goes "BEYOND" what you hope for in a guide!

8. WW II - Bastogne - The Battle Of The Bulge

Mike Eyns Tours

This will be another most memorable day, to tribute to these thousands of Heroes who offered their lives for our freedom. We would drive straight to Bastogne and start this journey by visiting the Historical WW II Museum and the Memorial “ Mardasson Memorial “ erected by the Belgians remembering the American Liberators. This extraordinary monument is constructed in the shape of a five pointed star and was built in honor of the 76,890 American soldiers who were killed, wounded or missing in the Battle of the Bulge. Another popular destination which your guide will ensure you don't miss is the Bois de la Paix, The Wood of Peace. In a design that is only visible from the air, 4,000 trees have been planted and laid out in the symbol of human tenderness - a mother and child. From Bastogne, we will get to Luxembourg city for a little discovering, before visiting The American Cemetery in Luxembourg. Later, we will aim Ettelbruck to visit the General George S. Patton Memorial Museum.

Inclusions: Luxury Car

Thankfully, the battlefield is largely as it appeared in 1815. Rolling hills, farm fields, the wooded and walled Hougoumont (well-restored) and la Haye Saint (not so much). Still, the vibe and the atmosphere is evocative of the crucial Napoleonic struggle that took place here. The museum is excellent. Creative displays, lots of artifacts. The great Lions mound is a bit of a distraction. But it does afford spectacular views of the entire battlefield. Two downsides: the busy road that runs right through the field, north to south, is a little offputting. And Napoleon’s command position was overgrown with shrubs when I was there.

9. Battle of the Bulge from Amsterdam

Amsterdam, Netherlands Jip Meijer

In just one day you will see the key sights that give a good impression of the Battle of the Bulge. We will see a German Panther Tank, the bunker where Patton's troops reached Bastogne, McAuliffe Place with the General's statue and a Sherman Tank, the Mardasson Memorial with the iconic Bastogne War Museum and of course the foxholes of Easy Coy, 506PIR, 101st Airborne Division, the famous Band of Brothers. But keep in mind it is a 3,5 hour drive to Bastogne without delays. We will have a coffee break an the guide will bring a can of coffee and some bottled water. A great wintertour.
