5.00Yesterday we spent 8 wonderful hours with Roger on the Ypres battlefields and Passhendale tour. We never looked at our watch once! Roger held our attention the whole day with his wealth of knowledge and interesting stories. Roger tailored the tour to the nationalités onboard the coach(New Zealand and Canadian-6 on our tour in total) but we also visited all the major sites. Rogers demenour allowed us to ask questions and feel comfortable. Had a lovely lunch halfway through. Some of the sites we visited included Tyne Cot cemetery, Langemark cemetery, Hill 60, Essex Farm, 2 very good muséums, walking the actual trenches at two sites, the brooding soldier, the NZ mémorial and many more. All in all a very compréhensive tour which was worth every cent paid. There is no way you could do this all by yourself and get the complete picture and in depth knowledge that Roger shares. Roger knew all the dates, the battles, where the front line was at all Times of the advancing armies. Roger deliveries this all in a very fair and respectful manner towards both sides. We would thoroughly recommend Roger at Ypres Battlefields tour- this is the one you have been looking for . Bonita and Martin Watt - ( New Zealand)

5.00Roger's tour was amazing! His knowledge about the war is encyclopedic and his particular expertise in the war dead was a unique perspective. One of the families on the tour had recently been told her WWI ancestor's body had been identified after 100+ years. Working with his contacts Roger pinpointed the likely spot where the body had initially fallen and drove us there across a field for a special moment for the family - and all of us.
WWl Scope and tragedy of the Western Front come to life with Rogers in depth knowledge and respect for the fallen

5.00Thank you, Roger for a lovely WW1 tour. For anyone looking to book an English speaking tour by a British man who lives in Belgium, this is an excellent tour. Suitable for families or individuals. Roger went that extra mile to cater for our needs to find names of graves. 5 🌟.

5.00I had the pleasure of doing a tour with Mr Steward and from start to finish, it was amazing. His local knowledge of the batttlefields and menorials are beyond impressive. We visited cemetaries, trenches, and monuments. I cannot emphasize how incredible this tour was. His knowledge and passion for the history of this sacred area made this an experience I will never forget.

5.00Very enjoyable day on this tour. January saw some of the museums closed but we still made the best of our time and had a great day touring many of the WW1 sites around Ypres. One nice touch was they I was contacted in advance to let me know that the museums were closed with the offer to cancel. Gained lots of insights in to the battles around Ypres from a very knowledgeable guide.
Amazing visit
