Vanaf het begint tot het eind goed georganiseerd. Bij aankomst een bakje koffie en een hand- out met informatie over de dag. De plaatsen die we bezocht hebben en de informatie de we kregen was wat mij betreft top! De gids (Edwin) begeleidde dag heel goed en zijn manier van vertellen hield mij tot het eind van de dag geboeid. Nogmaals complimenten aan de organisatie. Chapeau!! Bij nog een interessante tour ga ik zeker weer mee.

Deelgenomen aan 2 fiets- en 2 wandeltochten: Sint-Oedenrode, Best, Son en Sonse Bossen. Er is zoveel gebeurd rondom Eindhoven. Battlefield Discovery geeft deze interessante geschiedenis zeer boeiend en helder weer, aangevuld met veel details uit eigen onderzoek en er wordt verteld hoe de kleinere verhalen binnen het grote geheel passen. Kortom een aanrader voor iedereen die wil zien waar zich wat heeft afgespeeld in deze omgeving tijdens Market Garden.

Vandaag een erg interessante wandeltocht gedaan, 327th glider infantry in de Sonse bossen. Edwin heeft veel kennis van wat er zich afgespeeld heeft in deze dagen. Erg fijn om naar te luisteren, en gebruikt duidelijke kaarten en foto's bij zijn verhaal. Echt een aanrader om zijn tours mee te maken.

Gisteren een leerzame en indrukwekkende tour gehad. Edwin verteld het verhaal van Easy Company met veel details en ik heb een goed beeld gekregen van de moeilijkheden die ze hebben meegemaakt om Nederland te bevrijden. Alles rondom de tour zoals eten en het vervoer was goed geregeld. Bedankt!

Edwin’s knowledge is unbelievable and he is a great bloke, which made this tour incredible. He was able to ensure we kept clear on the who and when so that... read more we could follow the events as we moved around. His detailed maps, pictures and command of the geography added greatly to the day. Highly recommend …

OUTSTANDING, PERSONALIZED MILITARY TOUR Having served with the 82nd Airborne Division and having read its history for years concerning battles in which the Division was strategic in the accomplishment... read more of its mission, I wanted to see the battlegrounds and pay respect to my

Personal stories combined with an extraordinary fact based knowledge about what actually happened, why it happened, where it happend en who were involved.
Was there dust in my... read more eyes? No. Tearing up when Jo read a letter to us while we stood in front of the grave of the writer was unavoidable. The respect for the people that lived or died during the events that took place at Arnhem/Oosterbeek could be felt in every story.
We enjoyed a private tour. Just four of us with both Edwin and Jo pouring their astonishing knowledge about what happend onto us. No question was left unanswered. I could have listened to them for a week!
I am sure that I will be booking them again on another subject and I can recommend Edwin and Jo to anyone who wants to know more about Market Garden.

Thanks Edwin and Erik for researching and arranging such a memorable battlefield tour for my family. My request was to follow in my father’s footsteps during his time in... read more Holland when he glided into Holland with the 82nd Airborne, September 1944. We experienced so much of the military history as we drove through the fields and over the bridges. Special thanks for the maps, pictures, museum visit and book presented at the end of the tour as a keepsake.

My father-in-law and did a "Band of Brothers" tour with Edwin a couple of weeks ago. I had read the book long before the series and we had both been... read more interested in WWII history for a long time. We also had the opportunity to hear a local veteran of Easy Company (he is still living by the way) speak a few years ago. We took advantage of being in Amsterdam for a couple of days to go see where he fought. Edwin really knows his stuff. He took us on back roads and to now urbanized areas where the actions took place that you could never find on your own. Edwin worked in some other Market Garden stuff like the Arnhem Bridge as well. It was an outstanding tour in every way. Edwin does other tours covering other actions in the wider region too. I can't recommend him highly enough!
