Exceptional tour and guide - Roger our guide was in contact with us soon after we booked, confirming pick details. Roger arrived on time and was simply delightful and full of knowledge that wasn’t overwhelming. He was ready for any questions and because it was just the two of us, he adjusted the itinerary to focus on our individual interests. We were impressed with everything and all the places we visited in our morning tour. Visiting the battlefields, cemeteries and a museum where the original tunnels still remain was an eye opener and gave an even greater respect to those who fought for our country. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Ypres Tour - We all enjoyed our tour with Roger. He told us lots of information about each part of Ypres that we visited. He encouraged us to ask questions and so we all learnt a lot about the events of WW1. Would highly recommend this tour, thanks again Roger!

Get the most out your trip. - Roger is extremely knowledgeable. I wish he had been our school history teacher, I might have actually learnt something! He brought the reality of WW1 in Flanders to life and explained the political context, numbers involved etc in a very relaxed and easy to understand way. I definitely recommend a tour with him if you want to make the most of your trip.

Great experience, and informative. - This is a brilliant idea and expireance, Roger is so knowledgeable about the area and subject. I took my Dad who's 87,my brother-in-law, we managed the tour, it's made my dad's trip, as we originally came to see a war grave relation that we found. The tour was the cherry on the cake. If you don't want the hassle of driving finding and digging for all the interesting information about this area then book this tour,,,fact,,,easy,, informative,,and picked us up right outside our hotel, and dropped off.
