Full day (12 hours): 700.00 Euros

This tour is dedicated to the liberators of World War II — ordinary people who answered the call of duty to secure freedom for all. Brave men and women who gave everything and sacrificed more than we could ever ask. Throughout this journey, we will encounter stories of daily life during the war years, as well as battle accounts.
World War II had an enormous impact on the world — even the one we know today. The history of WWII must never be forgotten — LET US NOT FORGET!
Knowledge not shared is knowledge lost forever.

We will start our tour in Son / Best, where the 101st Airborne Division landed by parachute or glider on September 17, 1944.
