About your guide

My name is Joris Nieuwint. I am an accredited member of the International Guild of Battlefield Guides (Badge #112) and recipient of the David Chandler Award. I have been guiding on the battlefields of the Netherlands and Belgium for over a decade, and my tours have received the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award for three consecutive years.
Every enquiry comes directly to me. There is no call centre and no booking agent. When you send a message through this form, I will read it myself and reply personally.
Not sure where to start?
If you already know which tour you want, you can check availability and book directly on the Book a Tour page. If you are not sure which tour is right for you, take a look at the full list of battlefield tours or send me a message below with your dates, interests, and group size. I will suggest the best option.
For groups of 9 or more, military units, alumni associations, or tour operators, see the Groups page for details on bespoke itineraries and logistics.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly will you reply?
I aim to reply within 24 hours. During peak tour season (April to September), I may be out guiding during the day, but I check messages every evening. If your request is urgent, WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach me.
I am not sure which tour to book. Can you help me choose?
Absolutely. Tell me your dates, how many people are in your group, and what interests you most (a specific division, a film like A Bridge Too Far or Band of Brothers, or a general overview of Operation Market Garden). I will recommend the tour that fits best.
Can I book a tour for 2027?
Yes. I take bookings well in advance, especially for the September commemoration period. Send me your preferred dates through the form below or check availability online.
Do you offer tours for large groups or military units?
Yes. I regularly guide military units, veterans’ associations, and organised tour groups. See the Groups page for details, or contact me directly to discuss your requirements.
