We took what was nominally a 4-hour tour. I had one specific memorial I had hoped to see and several others that I had hoped might be worthwhile. From this limited input, Soren came up with a wonderful combination of sites for us to explore. He gave us ample personal time where we needed it and provided a wealth of information along the way, touching on many aspects of Flanders that I knew to a limited extent, despite having done a fair degree of family research. Our tour took substantially longer than planned but Soren cut no corners!
Engaging and knowledgeable guide

Very interesting, well paced and wide-ranging tour. We did two different ones on two consecutive days with Søren and enjoyed them both very much indeed. Søren is friendly, helpful and very well informed.
