Istvan was an amazing guide, sharing his knowledge of the area and battles and personalizing the tour to our interests. Our first stop was to see a Sherman tank memorial and pick up delicious lunch supplies at a local bakery. Then we visited the Bastogne War Museum, a very immersive museum. Next we went to Jack's Wood (Bois du Jacques), the site of the battles, including foxholes of the 101st Airborne Division and the memorial of the fallen Easy Company members. We added a stop a refreshment stop at Chouffe Brewery and ended our day in La Rouche to see a G13 Hetzer. We really appreciated the pick up and drop off at our hotel. It was a long day but a must do when visiting Belgium.
