Very informative visit to...

5.00Very informative visit to the battlefields, museums and important memorials where Australian soldiers fought and died in WW1. Claude was so knowledgeable. Later Spring would be a better time to visit…. It was cold and the flowers and trees weren’t out yet, but it gave you an appreciation of the extreme hardship these soldiers and their support teams of nurses etc. endured during winter. The vehicle was very comfortable, lunch was good and we had a free hour in Ypres before the last post ceremony under the Menin gate. A memorable day.
A friendly knowledgeable trip back WWI

5.0011 out of 10, maybe 12 because we are Australian. Cannot sufficiently express the woww and sentiment of visiting the various cemeteries and memorials and seeing the locations of the battles. Our guide Claude was exceptional.
A very worthwhile day

5.00Claude was a wonderful guide who explained clearly the events that took place around the area in WW1 with a focus on the soldiers from Australia and New Zealand. Visiting the frontlines and cemeteries was very moving and a visit to the Passchendale Museum was most informative.
