Visit Vladslo, Tyne Cot, Passchendaele and Ypres on a moving 13-hour Flanders Fields tour from Brussels with the Last Post.
“Lots of info, enthusiastic pleasant guide but too long a day (13hrs) due to average organisation, below par lunch, having to detour to pick up and drop off guests, for price expected more quality stops, staying for last post ( which lasted (7 mins) not really worth it, rushed through museum which was the best part...suggest returning earlier and holding last post on bus, lots of driving around aimlessly in late afternoon. Suggest looking at sleeker organisation, include more info on other nations contributions and specific battles not just Belgium's and Germany's. But pleased I went out of respect for the fallen.”

“Kim was an amazing guide. She was so friendly and knowledgeable and explained everything with great detail. Tour went at a nice pace, nothing felt rushed and the Belgium weather was kind to us, even in winter. The van was very comfortable, clean and always warm! It was a tour that shows the horrors of war but in a very educational and touching way. Liked the fact that we visited sites of both sides which isn’t a perspective we always get but also shows how much work goes into keeping these memorials looking so beautiful. Kim is very knowledgeable on her subject and this shows in the tour. I would…”

Explore Ypres, the Christmas Truce, Hill 60, Passchendaele, Tyne Cot, and Flanders Field with a private expert guide.
“My husband and I took this tour, wanting some history, geography and context for the WWI battles fought here. Our guide, Soren, hit it out of the park. Incredibly knowledgeable and full of interesting stories. Any questions we asked just led to more interesting information and stories. The places we went to were all over - we can't imagine trying to do this ourselves without a knowledgeable, local guide - we would have missed so much. We really appreciated the pace and communication. Can't recommend this guide or tour enough!”
Explore Ypres WWI battlefields by private car, from Sanctuary Wood trenches and Tyne Cot to John McCrae’s dressing station.
“Soren was an exceptional guide who went over and beyond expectations to provide a tremendous experience. He tailored the tour to take account my New Zealand ancestors' locations of battle. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about this history and despite the subject matter he balanced the solemnity of the situation with appropriate lightness and wit. We were travelling with a US friend, so Soren also catered for his interests in the area. The tour went well over the 4 hour mark and left us all very grateful and satisfied that we had been guided by one so informative and humorous. I thoroughly recommend Soren.”
