Day trip to Flanders fields

It’s a long day but it’s worth it. Steffan was always giving so much information at every chance he found. These details he gave us made it so much easier to understand at each location we visited . Finishing off our trip was the last post ceremony in Ypres, this was certainly worth the wait. Although it was a long trip back to Brussells, I certainly enjoyed the whole day. Many thanks to Steffan and bus driver Patrick on a job well done

That was a very...

That was a very interesting tours as we were anxious to learn about WWI. Patrick was very good at providing information and was very knowledgeable about the war. The cemetery visits were great seeing the young age of our poor soldiers who died fighting for freedom. We could had used more time at the museum but there was a lot to see and experience and I understand. Very educational and was providing us with more information about we already knew about WWI. Recommended as a tour.

Long day, but well worth it!

We learned so much, and our guide (Dietrich?) was so full of information but explained it in an easily understood manner. We saw so many places. It was a very long day, but well worth it. Very moving.
