Can a private driver take me from Amsterdam to Arnhem Bridge and Oosterbeek?
Yes: the Airborne Museum Hartenstein in Oosterbeek is about 95 km from Amsterdam, some 1 h 20 without traffic, and the John Frost Bridge in Arnhem is 7 km further, so a 7-hour day covers both for €455 in Business Class, with 280 km included. The museum is open daily from 10:00 to 17:00, with adult tickets at €16, booked online.

Related questions
Where does the car park at the museum?
The museum has free parking behind the Klein Hartenstein restaurant, and the chauffeur waits there while you visit; you are dropped at the entrance first.
Is the museum suitable for a wheelchair user?
Yes. The museum says every part of it is reachable by wheelchair, with an elevator, an accessible restroom and two wheelchairs to borrow. Tell us about the wheelchair when you book, so the chauffeur plans the car and the drop-off for it.
Were Americans at Arnhem?
Arnhem and Oosterbeek were the British 1st Airborne Division’s objective, with a Polish brigade attached; the American divisions dropped further south, near Eindhoven and Nijmegen. A longer day can combine Arnhem with the 82nd Airborne sites around Nijmegen.
Can a van take our group?
Yes: Van Class seats up to 7 at €80 an hour, €560 for the same 7-hour day.
