We had an excellent day with our guide Claude which really exceeded our expectations.
Claude’s knowledge was exceptional and he shared this in a very clear and friendly way - in addition his English is flawless!
We were picked up from and returned to our accomodation and travelled in very comfortable transport.
The day was not rushed and all in all we spent 12 hours touring from place to place with Claude with the day ending in Ypres for the last post ceremony at the Menin Gate.
We can’t recommend this tour enough to other Australians who are interested in this history.
Thanks for a great day Claude. ????
