Battle Of Arnhem Bike Tour

During this Battle Of Arnhem Bike Tour one of our skilled local guides will join you for a 4 or 6 hour tour in and around the Arnhem area. Along the hand of photos taken during the Battle of Arnhem and eyewitness stories you will get a good idea of what went on in September 1944 in Arnhem.

Operation Market Garden (17–25 September 1944) was an unsuccessful Allied military operation planned and predominantly led, by the British. It was fought in the Netherlands and Germany in World War II. The success of the operation depended on taking a series of nine bridges, the last being at the city of Arnhem over the Rhine river. Airborne and land forces succeeded in the liberation of the Dutch cities of Eindhoven and Nijmegen, but failed in keeping their farthest positions in and around the city of Arnhem including the bridge over the Rhine.

During this 4 or 6 hour Bike Tour a local guide will show you the most important sites of the Battle Of Arnhem.

Ruud weet veel, maar dan ook heel veel. Zijn enthousiasme is besmettelijk en hij weet ons naar plekjes te leiden waar niet iedereen komt of mag komen. Geweldige middag gehad! De organisatie door Petra was goed geregeld. Flexibel en betrouwbaar.

I took the 2.5 hour Battle of Arnhem walking tour with David van Buggenum. As a military history enthusiast, the Battle of Arnhem was my primary reason for visiting. David did an absolutely fantastic job. His depth of expertise on the battle, the context surrounding it, and the anecdotes from those who fought in it made it a truly memorable experience. He has literally written books on the subject and you can see his passion and knowledge coming through, whether it’s discussing small unit tactics or the personalities involved in the battle. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking to learn more about battle.

We have just taken a small group (3 people) personalised tour of Arnhem with our guide, David. As an ex-coach driver, I’m used to driving this tour more than a few times. I have to say, this was by far, the best tour I’ve taken on Arnhem. David personalised the tour to our needs and was amazing to say the least (I’m not being paid to say this 😂) I would not hesitate to recommend David and ArnhemLife. Petra, who organised everything, was also very helpful in planning the tour and answering all of our questions. If I have friends who want to do this tour, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend ArnhemLife. Ramon Sully

Vrijdag 27-06-25 hebben wij met 7 collega's (Ex-militairen en dienende militairen van de Nederlandse en Belgische Marine) een fantastische Battlefield Tour over de Slag om Arnhem gedaan. Vanaf het eerste moment waren we onder de indruk van de enorme kennis van onze gids, Arnold. Hij vertelde elk detail met zoveel passie en enthousiasme, dat het voelde alsof we zelf even terug in de tijd stapten. De manier van vertellen maakte de geschiedenis niet alleen begrijpelijk, maar ook levendig en meeslepend. We hingen aan zijn lippen bij elk verhaal. We hebben ontzettend genoten van deze indrukwekkende tour en daarnaast veel nieuwe kennis opgedaan over een belangrijk stuk geschiedenis, dat nu nog meer tot leven is gekomen. Een absolute aanrader voor iedereen die meer wil weten over de Slag om Arnhem. Nogmaals heel veel dank aan Arnold en de organisatie voor deze onvergetelijke ervaring!

Wij hebben met ons dispuut, 35 jaar na afstuderen in Den Bosch, de perimeter wandeling gedaan. We zijn enthousiast en deskundig begeleid door Thijs. De wandeling was niet lang en door een prachtige omgeving. Het verhaal van de slag om Arnhem is indrukwekkend. De volgende keer kijken we naar 'Een brug te ver' met andere ogen. Bedankt!

Our Arnhem tour with Ruud was beyond our expectations! Ruud knowledge of the battle and the Arnhem area is exceptional. We had the 6 hour private tour, visting all the key locations and it represented great value for money. We’re looking forward to going back and would definitely use Arnhem Life again! Many thanks

Brilliant tour of the Arnhem element of the battle for the bridge. David our guide was very knowledgeable and along with the comparative photos he had was able to bring the fighting alive. Looking forward to coming back in the future to visit the landing area. Would always recommend ArnhemLife for the guided tours
