Bastogne inside track with personable host - We had a terrific day with our new friend, History Wolf! He picked up our family of four promptly from our Luxembourg Hotel and off we went to spend the day learning about The Battle of the Bulge! The conversation was lively and fun and we especially enjoyed learning his unique perspective on the post war impact in Eastern Europe. Our group skewed young and he met us where our knowledge base started. Overall a perfect experience. 100% recommend.

Wonderful experience - Dear Istvan,
I want to sincerely thank you for the deeply meaningful experience you gave us during the Battle of the Bulge tour. Visiting the American cemetery in Luxembourg and standing at my uncle’s gravesite was something we will carry with us forever.
Your thoughtfulness—taking photos, helping us trace his name, and treating the moment with such care and respect—meant more than I can say. You went far beyond the role of a guide.
And then to learn that after the tour you took the time to investigate more about my uncle’s unit, the 94th Infantry Division, and their discovery of a concentration camp shortly after his death, that act of kindness and dedication truly touched our hearts. It added even more depth and significance to our journey.
Thank you for everything you did. You didn’t just share history with us, you helped us feel connected to it.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Phil and Debbie Meyer

The Perfect Day - This was an absolute dream come true for me. I’ve loved learning about the battles of World War Two by going to the battlefields and towns that saw them. István was the perfect guide. He was knowledgeable and helped keep me on track to make sure I got to see everything I wanted. Even more than that he altered the tour to make the trip unique to my interests and wants. I’d go on this tour again in a heart beat.

Best Tour Experience Ever - Actually we took this tour in July of 2023 so this is a long time coming. Our guide was amazing. He took us to the actual sites where the battle took place, like Bastogne, Bois Jaques, Foy, and Malmedy. He took good care of us with refreshments, found bathrooms for us and engaged in great conversation all along the way, informing us about what we were viewing. Fantastic tour!

It was so amazing to walk around the fox holes from the Battle of the Bulge, and the Bastogne museum is incredible. I can’t recommend this tour with István enough. I look forward to booking another tour with him in the future.
