Description
Relive the critical events of the Battle of the Bulge on this private tour with departure from Brussels. Travel through Belgium and Luxembourg, visiting key American resistance sites against Hitler’s last major offensive.
The tour begins with a bottle of traditional Luxembourgish Crémant to set the tone. The first stop is the Luxembourg American Cemetery, where General George S. Patton is buried alongside soldiers he commanded. Learn about Patton’s leadership and the legacy of the 101st Airborne Division, famously depicted in the series Band of Brothers.
Next, visit Ettelbruck, known as “Patton Town,” where monuments honor his twice-recognized liberation of Luxembourg. Continue into the Ardennes to Schumannseck to see the General Irzyk Monument, marking a fierce tank battle in densely forested terrain.
Arrive in Bastogne, the central site of the Battle of the Bulge, where Patton’s 3rd Army liberated the town after six days under siege. Visit McAuliffe Square and hear the story behind his “Nuts!” response. Explore the Bastogne War Rooms—an intact command bunker where critical strategic decisions were made under artillery fire.
The tour culminates in Foy, walking the footsteps of Easy Company of the 101st Airborne Division, as portrayed in Band of Brothers. See original foxholes and locations tied to significant wartime actions.
After a day immersed in history and landscape, enjoy a comfortable private return to Brussels.
