Traveler reviews
Highly recommended company, guide and driver
When you consider the distance and that you get entry into the museum, if you’re considering booking this trip you shouldn’t hesitate. Johan, our guide, was extremely knowledgable about Brussels, Belgium, the battlefields and historical sites. He gave a vast amount of information about a wide variety of things, as well as giving time to digest the information given. As well as knowing the route inside and out. The driver, Manuel, was an incredible driver and very skilled at navigating some of the difficult streets, even the tour guide was impressed! It was a long day but broken up and well worth it, for history buffs and people wanting to learn more. I would recommend this trip to anyone interested in booking, but also any of their other trips. This company was brilliant, and I would thoroughly recommend any of their trips. Thank you for such a great day out.
Amazing tour of World War 1 battle sites and memorials
An amazing tour Dertrick was a knowledgeable guide, with a wealth of information on the sites covered. Was particularly impressed, that through chance, the headstone of a VC awardee that Dertrick chose, was from our home State. The bus driver was extremely skilled navigating open roads, and small lanes, weaving such a large bus through some very tight corners.
Wow... An Incredible Experience!
What an incredible experience to be part and an excursion that you will not forget. Stefan was an incredible guide and he truly loves what he does. It is a long day but one that I will never forget nor will you regret doing. I do wish that we had more time for lunch (only about 25 minutes) but I understand the need to show as much history as you can. I am forever grateful for those who fought in WWI and it was an amazing experience to witness the last post. A "must" activity for those who want to better understand the history of WWI. Thank you, Stefan.
Excellent and informative tour
Very well led by an experienced guide, in our case Stefan, who had an excellent personality and was extremely knowledgeable.
Poignant, eye opening and though provoking.
Stefan our guide was very knowledgeable about each site we visited, and let us have our own time at each site to really take in the scale of what had gone one. By the end of the day and the last post ceremony had occurred the whole group felt very aware of the risks, the distances and the fear level of the front line
