What a privilege.

11 out of 10, maybe 12 because we are Australian. Cannot sufficiently express the woww and sentiment of visiting the various cemeteries and memorials and seeing the locations of the battles. Our guide Claude was exceptional.

Hi Stewart,

thank you for the nice comment.

A very worthwhile day

Claude was a wonderful guide who explained clearly the events that took place around the area in WW1 with a focus on the soldiers from Australia and New Zealand.

Visiting the frontlines and cemeteries was very moving and a visit to the Passchendale Museum was most informative.

Memorable and Moving

A memorable and moving experience for me, my wife and two teenage girls.

We had only limited time in Lille, but I was keen to see the WW1 battlefields where my great grandfather fought.

Claude’s tour was exactly what we needed. He is extremely knowledgeable on all things WW1 and has a well planned and paced tour.

The Fromelle’s and Passchendaele museums we visited exceeded expectations. Our girls loved the immersive experiences at both and the tunnels and trenches walk throughs (and the toasties for lunch!).

We have no hesitations recommending this tour - a must do for those with an interest in the Australian involvement in Flanders.

Thank you Claude

A memorable tour

The whole tour was amazing . The places we saw, the knowledge that Clayde shared with us. We could take as much time as we needed at each place. It is hard to put into words but a tour of a lifetime and a must for all

Amazing overall experience

The visit to all the sites were extremely memorable and moving. The last post at Menin Gate was something we will always remember and was very unexpected. Claude was an exceptional guide and his knowledge was beyond belief.. For anyone contemplating doing this tour please do as you won’t be disappointed and ask for Claude.
