I will pick you up from your hotel and we drive to the Arnhem area. We will visit the drop zones and see how far the soldiers had to go to reach the bridge by Arnhem. We visit the Airborne Museum and of course the bridge itself, passing many important spots where key events of the battle took place. I will show you the story from the perspective of the soldiers and citizens, in Oosterbeek and Arnhem, and let you experience the chaos, the missed opportunities, and the tragedy the battle came to be.

Battle of Arnhem battlefield tour did not disappoint

5.00Our Battle of Arnhem battlefield tour with Martin did not disappoint - as a WWII military history buff, including Operation Market Garden, actually visiting the key sites at Arnhem helped it to all make sense in a way that a book alone cannot. Martin was also able to add a lot of the additional context as well as the many smaller stories that all helped to explain and illustrate so much of the why and how everything (mostly) went so wrong for the Allies. Of note, this tour focuses upon the Arnhem end of the battle but you still get glimpses into aspects of the other landings as well as the land-based operation (I didn't realise that Nijmegen can be seen from Arnhem). The Airborne Museum was exception too. Thanks Martin!
Best WW2 tour ever

5.00Martin was one of the best tour guides I've had. He was very knowledgeable and was able to communicate his knowledge. He told facts and stories. He not only knew Market Garden but other aspects of World War 2 and the Netherlands. A great day!!

4.00We had originally planned to do this tour without a guide and are so glad we booked this tour. Martin took us to lots of sites that we would have missed and explained the role of each site in the overall operation. His knowledge was extensive. We came away with a much clearer understanding of the overall plan, the choices that were made and the problems encountered. All boxes ticked. I have given it a 4 star rather than a 5 star as the car that we travelled in was, unfortunately, not as clean as it could have been - an easy issue to fix to ensure this doesn't again detract from an excellent tour.

5.00A full day of history, facts and insights. It was personalised to follow a family member who had fought in the operation.
Market Garden day trip

5.00Martin was a pleasant, knowledgeable, and easygoing companion and guide. He tailored his approach to my preference, bringing out points of interest but not cluttering up the experience by insisting on including more than I wished to. HIs through familiarity with the entire Market Garden campaign insured that the sites we visited were explained in context, and he was always willing to engage in additional discussion and to bring up salient points for consideration, but without needless overnarration. In addition, he is a good and careful driver and picked me up right from my hotel! I am very pleased to recommend him highly.

5.00Covers a wide area of the conflict but allows plenty of time to linger at features of particular interest.
A Bridge Too Far

5.00Our guide Martin was excellent with extensive knowledge of the battle called “a bridge too far”. Highly recommended that you watch the film or read the book by Ryan before attending. We went places that a normal large tour would be unable to go. It was a great day to see the locations of where the brave men and women fought for the liberation of the Dutch people—sadly unsuccessfully—in 1944. Highly recommend.
Excellent Battlefield Tour with Martin

5.00Excellent battlefield tour. Really enjoyed the day. Martin is very knowledgeable and provides the details and stories you won’t find in a history book. Martin is very flexible and fits the tour to what you are most interested. He also took us to sites off the beaten path that were significant to understanding the battle. If one has seen the movie “A Bridge Too Far”, Martin takes you to the actual sites depicted in the movie and can tell you what is accurate and what is not. Would recommend this tour for the World War II history buff. Martin can probably answer any question you might have. Thank You Martin!!!
