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!
Excellent. Would highly recommend

What an amazing day we had with Roger! His knowledge is phenomenal and he is so engaging that you just want to go on and on listening and asking questions. We visited some of the best known sites and also one or two that were quieter and a little less known. Along the way, we learnt about the creation of the cemeteries, the ongoing work to identify and bury bodies, the Iron Harvest, alongside the stories of the battles. As we drove through the landscape, it all came to life. At lunchtime, the group thinned out and those of us remaining went for lunch and were then taken to the Passchendaele Museum. What a fantastic place! Roger left us to go round in our own time and met us at the end. The final stop was the huge Caterpillar Mine crater which fairly takes your breath away. If you get the chance to join one of these tours, grab it. Go for the full day if you can. I felt I had gained a proper knowledge and understanding of the battles around Ypres. It was a thought-provoking day but it was also brilliant!
This trip so worth it. You will learn so much.

Roger is a historian and author and self confessed obsessive about the Great War he is also a top guide and really nice man if you are considering a tour book the full day tour for the complete Salient experience the museum at Passchendaele is especially worth a visit the highlight of my visit to Belgium.
