WWII day tours-Eindhoven or Arnheim?

Does anyone have experience doing a guided day tour of WWII sites in either Eindhoven or Arnheim?

Arnhem is a small city and its limited WW2 sites can be seen independently. The replacement for the "bridge too far" is just another traffic bridge with a tiny museum at one end. The British paratroopers' "hotel" is a very interesting museum, particularly the basement devoted to experiences of the local residents. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery holds 1,600 in pristine surroundings, as are all CWGC graveyards. The small but fierce Polish contingent has its own memorial, inexplicably far out of the city. Wikipedia is helpful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnhem#Museums_in_and_around_Arnhem

Thank you so much for this information. We have previously taken small-group WWII day tours in Normandy and were looking for something similar. There don't seem to be as many options, so we may be doing this on our own.
