Our guide Claude had an inexhaustible knowledge of the history of the WW1 Battles that took place around the Ypres area. We were taken to so many battle scenes. The Hill Sixty with its massive crater was one of the most fascinating. being able to view the private collection belonging to a local historian was gold. The war graves at Tyne Cot really brought home a sense the scale of loss of life that occurred. We visited on Anzac Day so the last post at Ypres was particularly memorable.

We cannot thank Claude enough for the wonderful experience we had touring the Australian World War I Battlefields. His knowledge is endless, and it is very obvious that he is passionate about the subject matter. The morning began in the pouring rain, with bright sunshine in the afternoon, and finished with the last post at the Menin Gate at 8 o’clock, which was a very moving end to an incredible day. We highly recommend this tour.
