Super informatieve dag. Op verzoek had Bert een aangepast programma voorbereid. Dit omdat we zelf uit de regio komen en in een aantal specifieke locaties bijzonder geïnteresseerd waren. Bert had hier gehoor aan gegeven en ons een aanpast programma gegeven. Kan t iedereen aanraden die geïnteresseerd is in wat hier in de regio gebeurd is tijdens ww2. Tnx Bert

We spent a fantastic morning and afternoon with Bert. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide and very knowledgeable. My own research revolves around my Grandfather who was in the area during February 1945 for operation veritable with the 61st Highland Anti Tank Regiment attached to the 51st Highland Division. The regiment is not hugely recognised in today's history however Bert took us some locations with the use of coordinates from the regimental war diaries. He supplied us with refreshments, liberation tours t-shirts which was greatly appreciated. Great tour, great guy and we highly recommend Bert for anyone interest in operation market garden or veritable

In July we had my brother in law and his girlfriend over from the US. Since we live in a historically significant area due to WWII, specifically Operation Marked Garden, we had thought about a liberation tour for several years. This year we actually plannend a tour with Bert. It was an incredibly informative, interesting and exciting tour. Bert has a lot of photo's and maps to make many many local stories come to live. It was very special having this significant history for both our countries (NL and the US) explained in depth at the actual sights where it all happened AND where we libe. Bert has a lot of enthusiasm, knowledge and patience (for our many, many questions). Finally, our dog Loved Bert and he seemed to enjoy her company too, not unimportant ? we would definitely suggest this tour to anywone who has any interest in WWII or Dutch historie in general!!!

On Saturday 23rd of July 2022 I did a private tour with Mr. Bert Eikelenboom, for the duration of 6 hours.
Excellent guided battlefield tour specifically focussing on the operational area(s) of the 82nd Airborne division ("All American Division") of the US army in World War 2 during the battle of Market-Garden at Nijmegen and it's surrounding villages and terrain.

Mr. Bert Eikelenboom ("Liberation Tour") is well prepared and very knowledgeable about the battle(s) fought and supports his story with maps, photo's, video's and - above all - detailed stories of the soldiers who have fought for our freedom.

Sparring and discussing the batlle and situations where the allied and German soldiers found themselves in was great. It's quite rare to find someone as well informed as Bert.

I would also recommend his tour to people whom are less (or maybe even have no knowledge at all) informed about World War II. Bert is able to help people understand the greater picture of the battles fought. As a registered guide of the Guild of Battlefield Guides he is also able to relate to his customer(s) / audience and thus he is able to relate to both young and old, experience / well informed people and persons with no or little in depth knowledge.

Great experience together with friends! Bert has a lot of knowledge about the area and it's rich history regarding WWII.
