A brilliant day, fabulous commentary and a wonderful itinerary. The day surpassed my expectations. We saw so much! - Stefan was a fantastic guide and showed us so many special places pertaining to the war. His commentary was so illuminating and I left understanding the events leading to WW1 and what life was like for the soliders. I couldn’t recommend this tour more for those with a love of history and an interest in WW1.

Memorable - The trip was very comprehensive and the guide Dietrich was excellent with his explanations. It is fast paced and the statistics were horrifying. The museum in Ypres was great. The last post ceremony was very moving and we had a bonus of a ladies choir, English I think. Highly recommended.

A somber day of reflection and gratitude - It was a full day of visiting key sites providing plenty of opportunity to learn, ask questions and reflect on the courage of our soldiers and the devastating consequences of unnecessary war.

Thank you - Take the tour. Always remember the young boys. Our guide was so knowledgeable. The day flew by. The remembrance ceremony at the end of our trip was perfect way to pay tribute to the fallen.

A very worthwhile excursion - It was a very long tour but very worthwhile. I learned a lot about the area and what went on during WWI. The stops were well paced and The Last Post at days end was very special.

Wonderful tour of the WWI battlefields and monuments - It was a wonderful tour of many of the battlefields and monuments from WWI. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and provided us with commentary along the way and handed out a battlefield map for us to follow along. The evening ceremony at the Menen Gate was a particularly moving experience and was a fitting end to the tour

Informative Day - The tour was interesting and informative. My wife and I joined from Bruges. Meeting the group was easy and the bus was very comfortable. It was a long day, though. I think we would have preferred one less cemetery or two and shave some time off the trip. Maybe it could be just an afternoon…omit the lunch break. I think you have to have the dinner break if you are going to include the 8:00 pm Last Post Ceremony in Ypres. I also don’t think we spent nearly enough time in the Flanders Fields Museum. We only had an hour. A simple solution would be to give out the tickets/bracelet fobs before the lunch break (assuming that remains part of the trip). That way guests can determine for themselves how to prioritize their time over the two hours reserved for lunch and the museum. Overall, we enjoyed the tour…but doing it again, we’d look for a shorter option.

A Day to Remember - It was very interesting and informative. My friends and I were able to understand the historical events leading up to WW1 and see the impact , which was humbling. On another note, The tour was advertised as a max of 20 people but we had 27 and it was difficult to hear all the information and had to frequently compare notes with each other. 27 was too large a group for this reason. The tour bus was comfortable.
