From Brussels: Waterloo Battlefield Private Tour & Lion's Mound
Overview
Walk in the footsteps of Napoleon and Wellington on the field where Europe's fate was decided on 18 June 1815. Your private guide and chauffeur pick you up in Brussels in a luxury Mercedes and bring the battle to life, stop by stop. Visit the Wellington Museum, the British commander's headquarters on the eve of battle, then climb the 226 steps of the Lion's Mound for a breathtaking panorama over the entire battlefield. Explore the Memorial 1815, the fortified Hougoumont farm where the fiercest fighting raged, the village of Plancenoit where the Prussians turned the tide, and Napoleon's Last Headquarters. Museum entrance tickets are included. With no group and no rush, your guide adapts the stories and pace to your interests, from military tactics to the human drama of the day.
