What our previous guests say:
Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We could not have asked for a better guide than Niels to the Western Front battlefields. He is deeply knowledgeable, very efficient and very pleasant. He shaped the tour of two days to our particular interests, is flexible and imparts great understanding of the strategies, tactics and massive scale of the warfare in both the Somme and Flanders. He is, in short, outstanding and we would highly recommend him to anyone seriously interested in exploring campaigns that were so important in shaping the twentieth century. Hugely interesting, but also a very satisfying and agreeable excursion with an excellent expert and communicator.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Niels is amazing and passionate and very personable. Great tourPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was an outstanding tour. Niels knowledge and passion for WW1 is palpable and he has a wonderful ability to relate a vastly overwhelming topic into meaningful historical context. Most tours will describe front lines, trench warfare and unfathomable human loss, Niels includes stories, photos and even letters of individual fallen soldiers - in our case Australian graves which he tailored to our particular interest of the ANZAC involvement in Flanders Fields and also The Somme. His knowledge of weapons and artillery was of particular interest to my husband. Niels arranged for me to purchase a wreath at Ypres and thanks to his contacts at The Menin gates we were able to place the wreath at the Last Post ceremony which should not be missed if you are traveling to Flanders Fields. The stops were well timed including lunch breaks and our dinner reservation was also arranged on our behalf. In addition, Niels is an excellent communicator and all of my emails were answered very efficiently with helpful suggestions from Niels about the best way to structure our tour for maximum efficiency. I highly recommend Visit Flanders Fields Tours for a small group personalized tour with a passionate, interested guide.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!
We went on a tour with Visit Flanders Fields and had a fantastic day, completely adapted to our needs. Professionally handled, beautiful, comfortable van with air conditioning to drive from Bruges to Ypres. We were not bored for a moment. Highly recommended!
The Flanders Fields Battlefield Day Tour is a deeply moving experience. Walking through the battlefields, cemeteries, and memorials brings the history of World War I to life. Niels provides insightful context, making the stories behind each site even more powerful.
What made this tour exceptional was the mix of facts with emotional real stories, our interest and empathy for what happened was made bigger by having this tour, especially with our guide who was on his own a great and knowledgeable person! Definitely recommend it!

Soldiers from around the world made the ultimate sacrifice, leaving behind a legacy of courage and resilience. Today, the fields are dotted with memorials and cemeteries, a poignant tribute to the lives lost and a powerful reminder of the war's enduring impact.
