I met Claude thirty years ago when he guided my infantry platoon around the battlefields of Ypres and beyond. So last week I was with Claude again with my 13 year old army cadet son and my New Zealand girlfriend. I advised what I wanted to see and Claude picked up on the NZ piece and wove that into the battle field tour. Claude is exceptional, humorous, has a relaxed style and his military knowledge combined with local history is astonishing.
Claude is the best tour guide I have encountered, I have done numerous staff rides/ battlefield tours and have run some myself but Claude just makes everything work, from accommodation to travel and hostelries. I cannot recommend Claude highly enough - he really is outstanding and adds detail to perfection - from the real site of the Christmas Truce football field to the crypt where it is believed Hitler was taken when wounded and many other sites so easy to miss or forgotten. 100% satisfied and I plan to do it all again with some of my old soldiers.
