Our guide Claude was a wealth of knowledge about the Australian divisions WW1 war service and was able to show where battles were fought and how. Our lunch was very enjoyable and the museum visit and Last Post service at the Menin Gate were very emotional and brought home the realities of the horror of WW1.

Hi Lois, thank you very much for your nice review. Claude Verhaeghe
Very informative visit to the battlefields, museums and important memorials where Australian soldiers fought and died in WW1. Claude was so knowledgeable. Later Spring would be a better time to visit…. It was cold and the flowers and trees weren’t out yet, but it gave you an appreciation of the extreme hardship these soldiers and their support teams of nurses etc. endured during winter. The vehicle was very comfortable, lunch was good and we had a free hour in Ypres before the last post ceremony under the Menin gate. A memorable day.
Hello Meryl, Thank you for the nice review. I am glad you both enjoyed the tour. Best regards.
All memorable, particularly where our ancestors fought. Claude was great, very knowledgeable, and knows when to just let us contemplate what happened here. Would recommend to anyone.
