Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a fantastic Tour - it was definitely time well spent. Niels is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide. With a focus on Canada, we left Flanders Fields with a far greater understanding of Canada's significant contribution and sacrifice - during WW 1.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Niels is passionate about the WWI and with his knowledge, stories and photos brought it to life for us. He went out of his way to take us to Remy after hearing my grandfather was sent there after being injured. We would definitely recommend him if you wish to tour the many battlegrounds, cemeteries and towns around Flanders Fields. Thank-you from our group of six Canadians from Ontario!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

It was a memorable and enjoyable day, one we will not forget.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience was fantastic. Niels picked us up at our hotel in his very comfortable van for the 1 hour journey to Flanders Fields. He took us to the American Cemetery and then on to a number of other cemeteries including Tyne Cot, Polygon Woods, Essex Farm, and Lejssenthoek Hospital. We also saw the Yorkshire Trench, Hill 60 and the Centipede. Niels booked us lunch and dinner at excellent establishments and we capped the day with the Last Post at the Menin Gate in Ypres. He shared many fascinating stories of specific soldiers and others killed in the conflict which really connected us in a personal way. I highly recommend this tour if you want a personalized experience with a friendly and engaging guide.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
