It was a great day. - I had an excellent tour of the Battle of the Bulge area (which is enormous) from Malady and Stavelot Bridge in the North to Bastogne in the South. In the process, I saw a King Tiger, a Panther, and Foy where Easy Company fought. History Wolf is very knowledgeable.

Great day with the History Wolf! - History Wolf provided a wonderful day visiting all the sites, monuments, and museums of the Battle of the Bulge, which my husband’s father fought in in 1944. Our terrific guide showed up on time, reviewed our day, and asked us about anything in particular that we wanted to see. He is very knowledgeable and a very good driver. Getting to see the actual forest and foxholes was amazing!

Excellent Guide and Tour - Wolf was an extremely knowledgeable and personable guide. We had a one day tour and he was good at bringing us to the key historical sites -- there are so many places of interest, it would take many days to see them all, so we got to the important ones. He arrived promptly in the morning at our hotel in Luxembourg City. Many choices for lunch were offered in downtown Bastogne. We visited many sites; most surprising was the visit to the "Bois Jacques" battlefield on the edge of town, where foxholes dug by American infantry in 1944 are still there, where blood was shed, lending it the quality of hallowed ground. The tall pines that made it feel you were in a cathedral. Overall the tour, which we took in January, was a vivid, haunting remembrance of the struggle that took place in the area in the winter of 1944-5.

Great tour! - I booked this tour for my dad and I. We love history, especially about the world wars. The Bastogne War Museum had a lot of great information and we learned some new stuff! Our favorite stop was the Bois Jacques. There was snow on the ground and it was cold, similar to when the battle of the bulge was happening. Seeing the foxholes and the front line really amazed us. Our guide István was amazing. He really let us customize the tour to see what interested us. He was great to talk history with and really took care of us with snacks and drinks. Great tour, highly recommend!

Great Tour of Bastogne and Battle of the Bulge Sites. - Great day tour of Bastogne and the museums for the Battle of the Bulge. Our guide Stephen ( sorry the Greek pronunciation escapes me), was so easy to be with all day. He picked us up promptly from our hotel and drove us to Bastogne. His knowledge of the area and the important museums and sites allowed us to see everything we could possibly want to see. He was always available with drinks, information, whatever was needed. He even managed to get us back in time to see the American Cemetery in Luxembourg including Patton’s burial site. I highly recommend this tour.

Bastogne tour with Wolf Tours - The guys organised a superb full day tour of key Bastogne sites. Everything went seemlessly and they were very informal and yet knowledgeable. Lifted from our hotel exactly on time and returned us that evening. Superb day out.

A must to visit if you happen to travel to Luxembourg or Brussels - The visit to American Cemetery to see the memorial monuments was an experience. It gives me a chance to see and pay respect to all the brave young men who put their lives down in WW2 in order for us later generations to enjoy peace and prosperity.
The Bastogne museum was awesome. It is a must visit for all who are intrigued by the events in WW2 especially the Battle of the Bulge. You will be able to grasp rather than imagine what life must be like for both the soldiers ( Allied and the Germans) as well as the innocent civilians at that point in history.
