Your guide takes you on a road trip to Zeeland, a part of The Netherlands consisting of islands and peninsula's.
Zeeland saw heavy fighting in 1944. Zeeland Flanders, South-Beveland and Walcheren had to be taken by the Allies to be able to use the Port of Antwerp. It took a lot of ingenuity and hard fighting to overcome the strong German defenses here. We also pay a visit to the new Liberation Museum Zeeland. Besides some interesting military historic sites you will see a lot of the typical Zeeland countryside.
Hardly recovered from the World War 2 damage and loss of life Zeeland was hit again in February 1953 by a big flood. We will return over some of the Delta Works. After this tour you will understand the motto of the Zeelanders: Luctor at Emergo, I struggle and emerge.
11-12 hours tour duration is travel time included.

5.00We were very pleased that Yip took great measures to personalize this tour for us. He was very personable and knowledgeable. He had prepared a very detailed presentation and itinerary for us. The tour van was very comfortable; water was provided; extra pillow were supplied as we were all dealing with jet lag. And Yip’s expertise in manoeuvring through the traffic was incredible! He was also very patient as we browsed through museums/gift shops.
