Things to do in The Ardennes, Wallonia: The Best Tours
A smorgasbord of flavors come from this lofty land in the hilly southeast of Belgium: game, wild boar, venison, smoked ham, the region's famous paté and world-renowned Trappist beers. Primarily located in Belgium, the Ardennes mountains also nudge into France and Luxembourg. Dense forests flank the steep hillsides, and market towns and villages perch on river banks. Spring and summer show this lush area at its best, but cross country skiing opportunities make a good case for winter visits.

We set aside the Brussels Capital of Europe to focus on the Brussels Capital of Belgium. A city where the cosmopolitan mixes with the vestiges of the Middle Ages and Modernism, so heterogeneous in its history, its art and its culture that many celebrities surrendered to its charm: from Victor Hugo to Karl Marx, going through Baudelaire, Vincent Van Gogh or Pieter Brueghel. The heritage of its streets is so overwhelming that the hours become minutes admiring the splendor of its buildings, statues and art galleries.

This tour perfectly shows the most underestimated part of Belgian culture - its cuisine. Not only beer, but the kitchen as general. Mussels, chips and chocolate (for dessert) are the first thing to taste when on Belgian soil.

In the Bastogne War Museum there is an array of items related to the Battle of the Bulge (Bataille des Ardennes) and to the Second World War in general. There one can see tanks and other weapons used on both sides of that conflict, military uniforms, photographs, objects which used to be commonly utilized at the time of the War, such as some vinyl records, boxes, music scores, coins, box matches, toys and so on, as well as copies of books (Mein Kampf, for instance) and propaganda posters used at that time when radios and particularly TVs were not very common. Some vehicles used during the War are also exhibited at the Museum. Among them, there is an all-terrain one called VW82, nicknamed Kübelwagen, which was designed by Ferdinand Porche. It was used by the German army in the same way as the Jeep was by the American Army. It didn't weigh much and therefore, it was very easy to manoeuvre. One of the weapons displayed at the museum consists of a set of four machine guns, namely the Maxson type US gun turret. It was originally designed for antiaircraft defence but during the conflict concerned it was also used against the infantry causing massive damage on German troops. Thanks to clear texts, excellent visual supports and captivating scenography exhibited in the Museum one can learn a lot about the Second World War. Besides, during the visit it's possible to be accompanied by the voices of four different characters, to wit, an American corporal, a German lieutenant, a young teacher from Bastogne and a 13-year old schoolboy. That can of course add an extra insight into what can be there seen and read. Albeit those characters are fictitious they represent an amalgam of different people who really existed during that conflict. The different explanatory notes displayed in the Museum is also an excellent material to peruse during the visit in order to learn about some details concerning the situation in the divers countries involved in the War in question until the break out thereof and from the end of the First World War, as well as about some specific phenomena which took place in that period such as the rise of the fascism and the nazi party in Germany. The Museum allows therefore people to apprehend the context in which that conflagration sprang and went on, and is a good means helping current and future generations remember that bloody past and invite them to pay tribute to the ones who fought and the ones who lost their lives in the struggle for human freedom and dignity. The visit of that Museum is therefore highly recommended due to the undeniable interest of all the items there displayed which call up the tragic events having taken place in the middle of the past century, events which, despite their rueful nature and the loss of lives which ensued, is convenient to know due to the importance attached to them insofar as they changed the course of History.

This tour is one of our bestsellers! Luxemburg is certainly a modern and vibrant city with a rich history and impressive modern and ancient architecture. To our own surprise our guests seem to value very much the little town of Dinant which they proclaim to be very “typical Belgian, surprisingly picturesque and unbelievably interesting”. It is indeed the town of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone and the cradle of the Leffe beer.
