5.00A long day worth the trip. The Guide was a wealth of information and very professional. The bus had to make a second stop in Brugge to pick up passengers. Delayed us slightly coming an going. We're glad we did it to see for ourselves some of the most terrible battles of WW1. Know what you are getting into before the trip. Worthwhile in every way.

Misleading Itinerary

1.00Misleading itinerary! Bus arrived late at pickup and we were informed we would be driving one hour to Brugge to pick up other passengers. Then we would begin the tour. At the end of the tour the bus would drop off the passengers at Brugge then another hour dive to Brussels to drop us off. We would spend two hours driving time not associated with our advertised itinerary. Small bus used instead of a regular coach. Four of us got off the van as soon as we learned of this diversion to Brugge.
Emotional and Engaging Flanders tour

5.00This was a big day. Dietrich was our guide and is clearly very passionate about the material. He had soooo much information not just on the mains we were visiting, but on Brussels,Bruge and the surrounding areas as well. I learnt a great a deal while on this tour. It was both a great learning experience and emotional all at the same time. As a dual NZ and Australian National, these sites are very culturally important and I'm so glad we made the time to visit. Thank you Dietrich for providing a full and engaging commentary to underline the gravitas of the experience.
Fantastic.

5.00It was very informative. Took us to a German cemetary & Commonwealth Cemetaries, the statue of the Canadian soldier and Hill 60 which was quite moving for us as we are Australian. The visit to Ypres was also memorable especially the last post at 8pm. It was a very good day but very long.
