Tour en recuerdo de los campos de Flandes desde Brujas

We did a full day tour. We were a family with 2 teenagers. Really great tour!!
Great way to find out about WW1 and its effects on the Belgian people. Comprehensive background to the history of the conflict given by the guide.
Very good tour well worth the money. Tour guide very knowledgeable bus driver not very friendly. The last post ceremony at the end of the tour makes the tour worth every penny. I have mobility issues so at times stayed on the bus, tried making small talk and asking driver for information like if he could drop us at the traffic light by the train station upon our return to Brugge he never answered just ignored me. We asked our tour guide to be dropped off at train station traffic light so we could access a cab easier. After a heated french conversation exchange between the bus driver and the tour guide, the bus dropped us off on the opposite side away from taxi stand and Brugge tour bus stand. They both knew that I speak French. I felt that last exchange to be rude and unprofessional and it cost them each a 20 euros tip.
We had a really knowledgeable guide, and learnt so much. The whole tour was great from start to finish. At the Menin Gate there was also a piper band from an Airdree regiment playing, which made the last post ceremony even more moving. A long day but well worth it
Guide was excellent. Would have liked more time at the museum and less time at other sites. Would have preferred to go into the town only one time to end the tour.
Stephen was a knowledgeable tour guide. He has thorough interest in educating people on the tour about the wars. It was a full day of visiting key sites providing plenty of opportunity to learn, ask questions. Easy to find tour meeting point.
The tour was interesting and informative. My wife and I joined from Bruges. Meeting the group was easy and the bus was very comfortable. It was a long day, though. I think we would have preferred one less cemetery or two and shave some time off the trip. Maybe it could be just an afternoon…omit the lunch break. I think you have to have the dinner break if you are going to include the 8:00 pm Last Post Ceremony in Ypres. I also don’t think we spent nearly enough time in the Flanders Fields Museum. We only had an hour. A simple solution would be to give out the tickets/bracelet fobs before the lunch break (assuming that remains part of the trip). That way guests can determine for themselves how to prioritize their time over the two hours reserved for lunch and the museum. Overall, we enjoyed the tour…but doing it again, we’d look for a shorter option.
It was very interesting and informative. My friends and I were able to understand the historical events leading up to WW1 and see the impact , which was humbling. On another note, The tour was advertised as a max of 20 people but we had 27 and it was difficult to hear all the information and had to frequently compare notes with each other. 27 was too large a group for this reason. The tour bus was comfortable.
A connective and realistic connection to our history with a very knowledgeable guide . Days schedule was well organised. Visiting the areas we had only ever studied and heard about…Experiencing the Last Post Ceremony at Ypes…
Stefan was a fantastic guide and showed us so many special places pertaining to the war. His commentary was so illuminating and I left understanding the events leading to WW1 and what life was like for the soliders. I couldn’t recommend this tour more for those with a love of history and an interest in WW1.
