Drive a Willys!

Dear ,
Coincidentally, my wife found the Vlaanderen Vakantieland video about a tour in a Willys jeep via Uit in Vlaanderen.
So apparently there was the option to rent a Willys jeep and take a guided tour with explanations about WWII.
Since I am an avid Willys Jeep enthusiast and was still looking for a suitable birthday present, the choice was quickly made.
We (myself, my wife and 11-year-old son) immediately registered for such a tour that would take place in and around Leest.
Once we arrived in Leest that day, we were kindly welcomed by Philippe Deweerdt and his wife.
There was also a Dutch couple present whose wife had also organized this for her husband as a birthday present.
We first received an explanation about how the Willys jeep works, including a test drive.
Then we set out along allotment roads and field roads in and around Leest, including mud and large puddles.
We stopped here and there where we got a detailed explanation of what exactly happened at that place during WWII.
There was also some time to take photos along the way.
The tour ended after about 3 hours.
We found this tour very fun and educational. I especially loved driving the Jeep.
The approach and explanation was very professional. That definitely deserves a 10/10.
Regards ,
Daniel, Christine and Maxim.

Great experience!

Enjoyed a fantastic (surprise) afternoon with the family! Many stories by a true storyteller, a beautiful and surprising route along inland and field roads - also riding with the Willys is an experience in itself!
We'll be back😃

Tour with authentic "Willys Jeeps -old-timers" through the Mechelen fields, looking for traces of the Second World War. We enjoyed the historical guidance with a touch of humor.
There were three of us and we had a nice afternoon.
Recommended !!

Team building

We had a very nice day with a bit of history and coffee first. Then we went for a ride in the jeeps and ended the evening with a BBQ.
Philippe delivered this with passion and was a nice guide. Highly recommended for a very wide audience!

a fantastic experience

This was the gift for my cousin who is quite the WWII freak. He had the time of his life! Guide Phillippe is completely absorbed in his role and gave us an unforgettable afternoon. It's quite an experience to go off-the-road with such a jeep. In combination with the stops where the guide tells fascinating stories with often very personal details of the events at the locations. Recommended !

Warbird trail

Warbird route done as a family trip with 3 generations, from grandparents to grandchildren. Particularly educational for young and old, despite the fact that we drove around "only" a few kilometers from our own home. So there is still a lot to discover close to home. the kids, the fun content was also very high when we went off-road.
Thanks to Philippe who keeps the history of WWII alive with large and small stories.

Rent-a-willys

I gave the willy,s tour as a gift to my father on 08 20 2023. first thing in the morning a nice and friendly welcome from Philip on his war terrain. While enjoying coffee and drinks a fantastic explanation with the necessary humor. After the explanation and film about what happened in Grimbergen, the drivers went to practice before departure. Once again fantastic explanation of how everything works in the willy. After this left in column with a total of 3 willies. Beautiful routes with regular stops to explain what happened in and around that place. In total we have been on the road for 5 hours with the willys. In the meantime also ended up at the airport of Grimbergen with the willys for a nice drink. It was fantastic and definitely recommended. Thank you again Philip for this tour and good luck with your venture.

Superb back-into-time experience!

Unique experience, thanks to the stories of flesh and blood, about ordinary people in a great war, vividly presented by Philippe, interspersed with many anecdotes. You can taste the atmosphere of WW2 from the moment you enter the "camp" of Rent a willys. Brilliantly done!

An instructive dream tour at the wheel of an iconic vehicle

Because of my many years of praise for the legendary Willys Jeep, my children gave me this tour ride as a gift. I could drive a Willys myself.
Our host Philippe first took the time in his base camp to refresh our history regarding WWII. The focus was on the air war part and its impact on Belgium.
The drivers were then given ample time to learn how to drive the Willys. This took some getting used to as this is completely different from the modern cars that do almost everything for you.
Then the four of us left in the Willys, under the professional guidance of Philippe, driving through the fields and forests. Philippe really took all the time for us and knew how to link the necessary historical information to the current conflict in Ukraine, which gave us food for thought.
His passion for these old vehicles and the history make the Warbird tour a fantastic and educational experience, highly recommended.

Fantastic and educational experience

Everything was great: the hospitable reception with a delicious cup of coffee, the briefing at the base camp (information about WWII to frame the whole trip), the stories along the way (Philippe is an enthusiastic storyteller). For the sons who could drive the jeeps through fields and forests, it was already a unique experience.
Thank you Philippe for sharing your passion with others.

Perfect gift for grandpa

We did this ride as a gift for grandpa who used to drive around with a willy for 1 year as a conscript. As a 74-year-old, he immediately felt 50 years younger (except for getting in and out).
He was also very enthusiastic about the smooth and interesting explanations we received on the many sights along the way.

Top ride!

My husband and father-in-law are crazy about Willy's Jeeps, and their big wish was to drive one. That's why this ride was given as a gift for Christmas; after months of anticipation it was finally time, and the afternoon was nothing but great!
From reception in the right atmosphere to the enthusiasm with which Phillippe knows how to tell everything in detail; we had a great afternoon!

Mobile coffee bar in army style
27 June 2020

Small is beautiful, so we aim for small events. Our mobile coffee bar brings you completely in the atmosphere of Band Of Brothers, but rest assured, you will not be served a war bite. Our Barista, David Deweerdt, uses the traditional Chemex method from 1941 to serve you a real coffee according to the rules of the art.
