    We had a wonderful day with Claude, our host. His knowledge and ability to communicate added informative detail of the battles and townships. Despite being a long day we didn’t feel rushed at any time. Would highly recommend this tour.

    Very 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

    11 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

    Claude 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.

    A memorable and moving experience for me, my wife and two teenage girls. We had only limited time in Lille, but I was keen to see the WW1 battlefields where my great grandfather fought. Claude’s tour was exactly what we needed. He is extremely knowledgeable on all things WW1 and has a well planned and paced tour. The Fromelle’s and Passchendaele museums we visited exceeded expectations. Our girls loved the immersive experiences at both and the tunnels and trenches walk throughs (and the toasties for lunch!). We have no hesitations recommending this tour - a must do for those with an interest in the Australian involvement in Flanders. Thank you Claude
