WW1 Tour around Ypres - This was an outstanding tour, Roger was great company and incredibly knowledgeable about all things WW1. He took us to exactly the right places and really brought events to life. He was very flexible (we had a bit of a nightmare journey getting to Ypres, arriving an hour late but he was more than happy to work around it and give us the full tour). Highly recommended.

Incredible Ypres WWI Tour with Roger - I had an amazing tour with Roger! I did the 1/2 day tour which was packed with museums and sites. The pick-up/meet-up was very easy from the Ypres train station. Roger has an immense knowledge of WWI and the Ypres Salient (and has written 2 books). I was lucky enough to visit in the off season and have a very small tour group, allowing for me to ask a ton of questions which Roger happily answered and shared interesting anecdotes/facts. I recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn about WWI history or further their knowledge and visit the sites firsthand. It’s so much more impactful to have a guide versus seeing the WWI sites without.

Highly reccomended - Roger has extensive knowledge of the area and the ww1 period. Don't try to see the sites without him, you will regret it. You won't regret booking this tour.

Ypres Battlefields tour with Rodger - Rodger was very kind to collect us from the train station later than scheduled as our 1st train from Lille was cancelled & we had to go around the 🌎 to get there.Our Guide Roger has an amazing knowledge of the history of Ypres and its surrounding battlefields from the Great War. We were given a detailed tour visiting Tyne Cot, and Hill 62 with Roger going into great detail about the areas we were passing through.
It was a sobering and humbling experience to see first hand what the young men had to endure. I would recommend this trip and definitely to travel with Rodger as he is very knowledgeable.
Definitely worth the trip.
