Overview

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.

Excellent 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!!!

Great day spent with Martin exploring the Arnhem battlefield. Martin was very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the Market Garden Operation and surrounding area. Spent a second day with Martin on a drive up from Amsterdam to the Westerbork transit camp and a tour of that historic site. Very informative and moving experience. Highly recommend Martin for any of his tours.

This was an excellent experience. Martin was very informative and took us to spots I never would have found on my own. His knowledge of Market Garden was amazing!! A warm and kind person too I might add.

Martin was an excellent guide. Arrived on time. He took us to multiple locations throughout the day and was very informative. Learned a few things about the battle. Highly recommend this tour for all WWII buffs.

From the landing zones to the routes to the Hartenstein Hotel museum and the bridge. It was a great visit. The museum is very good and well worth the visit. Do not miss the Military cemetery.
