Since 2010, many guests from all over the globe went into the former battlefields with Bob.
We have some reactions for you:

– “This is it! This is why we came all the way from the States!Deze afbeelding heeft een leeg alt-attribuut; de bestandsnaam is Bob-Konings-1024x884.jpg
– “We have seen many sites and photos before in all those years, but Bob showed us sites and photos we have never seen or known before.”
– “We wanted a flexible tourguide who comes form the area where we were staying. B&B Bo Temps is an excellent starting point. Bob knows so many unknown stories and he took all the time during the tours.”
– “Bob, you are the best!”
–  “Breathtaking….””
–  “Bob takes you to places that you can’t find and you never thought of.”
– “This was so much more than we expected!”

–  “The detailed and personal stories, his detailed knowledge, the environment.. It was great!”
–  “Booked the next tour!”
– “We stood there, where my father stood. Bone chilling!”
–  “I thought you wouldn’t see that much traces of the war. But Bob took us to places were there are still foxholes! I guess we saw 40 of them on one spot.”
– “I can tell that I am a tough guy. But the stories Bob told us in Trou de Loup were overwhelming.”
– “My wife came back very enthousiastic after a whole day of battle stories. Nailed it, Bob!”
– “And after the tour a Belgian beer and loads of books at the B&B. Awesome…”
– “So this Dutch guy told us all these unknown stories to us.. a Flemish group!
– “I have read quite some books about the battle of the bulge. But standing in the ankledeep mud, listening to all these incredible stories of veterans… It is so very special.
– ” I can recommend this to everyone, especially those who don’t know much about the battle of the Ardennes.”
– ” I had the opportunity to meet some veterans who were visiting the area and were on tour with Bob and other people. I was a lucky son of a gun!”
– ” The tour we took lasted three hours. So, the next day I took the 6 hours tour with my friend.”
– ” Just one word: EXCITING”
– “All these personal stories from the men who fought so hard… It was indeed a unique experience.”
– “Standing the foxholes just outside of Foy in the snow with the stories was so exciting.”
– “It was heartbreaking to stand at the grave of a man who died in the Ardennes. We visited the batte terrain the day before and a day later were standing at Ardennes Cemetery. All these young men…”
– “Bob not only has high quality pictures with him, but also maps and official documents from the NAtional Archives, like Mrning Reports and After Action Reports. That makes the tour extra special.”

We had people on tour from the following countries: Belgium, Netherlands, America, England, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Scotland, Ireland, Finland, Canada, France, Spain, New Zealand, Australia, India, Poland, Austria and Israel!
