Awesome Tour of Ypres and Surrounding Areas - My Dad and I took this tour last week, and it was simply amazing. We are both big history geeks, and this tour hit most of the highlights throughout Ypres and the surrounding areas. Mavliud was our tour guide, and he was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and kind. I would 100% book this tour again if I ever find myself in Western Belgium, and I highly, highly recommend it to my fellow travelers.

Truly enjoyed the experience. - We were a group of friends interested in history, and this tour turned out to be exactly what we were looking for. The company was flexible in adding an extra stop, and our guide was both kind and very knowledgeable. Everything was well organized, and we truly enjoyed the experience, including a lovely meal in Ipr.

Haunting and Unforgettable - The World War I trenches and cemeteries in Belgium are deeply moving. The museum brings the harsh reality of war to life. Huge thanks to our guide and driver Mavliud who was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and even captured some amazing photos for us. Highly recommended!

Scott burke - Driver 30 min late , 4 days before the tour I was notified museums were closed > This tour was $2300 Canadian , we were picked up at 830 , dropped off at 330 pm . They did pay for lunch , big deal . Do you think this was a good price for a family of 4 , for barely an 8 hour day . They said a guide , plus a driver , did not happen . Pick up from hotel , did not happen . 30 min late. The guide was pretty good , no complaints , but was late with no apology or excuse , I likely will not use this company again . Very Unprofessional Scott Burke
