Great insight & historical detail of WW1 battlefields. Claude provided a very good understanding of the environment & tough fighting conditions for the soldiers. Visiting the war graves, WW1 museum & last post at Menin Gate was a memorable experience.

Claude was an amazing guide who tailored the Battlefields Tour to cover our interests, and he was able to answer all our questions. He is very knowledgeable on WW1 history, and showed us many of the sites that are very precious to Australians. Without this tour, we would never have been able to visit all those sites by ourselves and would have missed out big time. Thanks, Claude, for making it possible for us.

Fantastique! Our guide Claude was extremely knowledgeable and professional. We travelled comfortably between all the separate battlefields, cemeteries, museums and monuments with a expert commentary. When I showed him my grandfathers war record, Claude was able to take us to the town where he was stationed as an artilleryman.
If you are looking for a personable and professional guide I highly recommend this tour.
