Roger was very knowledgeable. The tour was the perfect length so that we didn’t feel overwhelmed with information. He picked us up at the train station and dropped us off in the town square by request. Highly recommended!

If you want a Primer on WWI when it comes to trench fighting in Belgium 1915-1917 this is the place to start. Roger asks so many questions and provides so much content and context you can feel like you are there. Having a dreary overcast day also help to set the mood!

Highly recommend this tour! Roger is incredibly personable and knowledgeable. I was a little hesitant to book at first because I thought we wouldn’t be able to see much in just 3.5 hours, but I was completely wrong!! It felt like we experienced a full day tour in that time, yet we never once felt rushed. Roger cares about his guests and takes an interest in why you’re there. One man in our group had a family member whose name was on a war memorial. Although it wasn't a scheduled stop, Roger made sure to include it so he could see his family members name and the place where he was possibly found. Roger is easy to talk to and loves to share his seemingly endless knowlegde. Truly an unforgettable experience!

We did the 3.5 hour tour with Roger. It was soon obvious that he is an expert in his field and provided a very informative Flanders Field tour which he then tailored for the group.

Just a great all around history of the war. Many visits with different aspects of the war. He can get as specific on details as the group wants.

Cannot recommend highly enough, my tour was detailed and informative. Roger is an excellent host, happy to answer any and all questions, and his knowledge is second to none. I was looking for a tour that would take in many of the major sites in the area, and this did not disappoint. There were seven of us in total on the tour, an ideal size and we were all made very welcome. Roger even made some stops at sites that were specially tailored to the group, an attention to detail which was very much appreciated. An absolute highlight of the tour was the visit to the Hill 62 Museum, which included a tour of the authentic First World War trenches. I would recommend for anyone looking for an introduction to the First World War and the Flanders area and I will certainly consider booking again in the future.

The whole expierince was fantastic. Rodger is extremelly informative. A really nice touch at the end . As were Irish he brought us to a place out of the way that commerates chaplain Willie Doyle and the poet Francis Ledwidge.
