Value for money with good company. - Very easy to book and payment not taken until 48 hours before trip and could cancel if needed too. All on time, good guide and driver. Did miss one stop because of local marathon being held, but that was outside of the tours control.

Great Tour - Excellent tour that covered a wide variety of relics, memorials and sights. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant and presented information / facts right throughout the day even on the drive back. Takes approx 13hr in total as the drive from Ypres back to Brussels via Bruges is quite long. Lunch provided was a free drink and baguette. Would recommend as many of the sites are dotted all over the Ypres region and this way you can cover the best bits without doing any of the planning. Last Post ceremony and Meningate was very poignant.

Great guide and visit - Very knowledgable guide and trio was well planned by the guide and company. Comfortable coach. It is a long day and perhaps company could consider a direct transfer from Brussels to Flanders area as collecting and dropping off travellers in Bruges does add hours to the trip.

Not to be missed - The day felt more like a pilgrimage, to be honest. Our guide Dietrich and driver Abdoul (sp?) Took exceptionally good care of the group. Dietrich is from Bruges and very knowledgeable about the pivotal pieces of WWI battles in the Flanders region. The tour was as described. Be prepared for a long day. But worthwhile.

Better organisation needed but memorable day - Lots of info, enthusiastic pleasant guide but too long a day (13hrs) due to average organisation, below par lunch, having to detour to pick up and drop off guests, for price expected more quality stops, staying for last post ( which lasted (7 mins) not really worth it, rushed through museum which was the best part...suggest returning earlier and holding last post on bus, lots of driving around aimlessly in late afternoon. Suggest looking at sleeker organisation, include more info on other nations contributions and specific battles not just Belgium's and Germany's. But pleased I went out of respect for the fallen.
