About this activity

This Bastogne Tour immersive journey takes you through pivotal WWII sites to understand what the Band of Brothers' Easy Company endured during siege of Bastogne. Start with a visit to the Bastogne War Museum, a profound tribute to the events and sacrifices of the Battle of the Bulge. Then, explore the Bois Jacques battlefield, where you can still see the foxholes used by the Easy Company.

After these moving visits, enjoy a lunch break in pictoresque downtown Bastogne. The afternoon continues with a visit to the War Room where McAuliffe famously pronounced "NUTS". Ten we finish with a visit to the Bastogne Barracks, a Belgium army museum where we can see: Shermans, Panzer IV, Wolverine, Stug III, Hetzer, Heavy Howitzers, Flak guns and more.
