Here are a few tour testimonials from our December Battle of the Bulge Tour:

“As always, I am pleased to learn from you both. The tours are a perfect balance of culture, battlefield detail, and camaraderie. Merci!” Marty Lewis 

 

“Thank you to Randy & Markus is an understatement. Words cannot express how happy & emotional this experience was. My hope was to complete the “puzzle” of my father’s service in the Bulge. Although, after his passing I had much information, this journey completed (almost) the picture of his service. Obviously, the story will never be totally complete. As time passes, I may need to return as I know that other facts may come to light and events to be explored. One of the greatest experiences we have had.” Kevin & Alice, Hinkle, Leesport, PA

 

“Outstanding, OUTSTANDING! Thank you Markus and Randy for an experience that I will never forget! The personalization of the tour added a great element! I am moved by the stories of these men. The story of my grandfather’s unit was very emotional and a way for me to connect with him. THANK YOU! Going into the woods really set the stage and showed how “mysterious” the woods are, and I appreciate you allowing us to get “knee deep into history.” I was able to experience history and see it come alive. I am very grateful for this experience and I assure you that I will continue to research the Battle of the Bulge, specifically, the 513 PIR and the 17th Airborne–my grandfather’s unit! Thank you for providing my family and I with a connection that we will always cherish! Thank you for such a unique view into history!” Christopher Wegman, New Orleans, PA
