Roger'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

Thank 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 🌟.

I 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.

Very 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

It has been the best tour I have ever taken to a battlefield. The difference is having a guide like Roger, who is not only an extraordinary guide, but a published writer about that same battlefield. He was able to give precise and not known information about every place we visited, giving you different insights. Roger is a very nice and flexible person, giving you the chance to choose the places and time to stay in each one. Really extraordinary!
