We had a great tour with Søren. First Søren arrived on time, broke the ice with us and ran through our itinerary and whether we had any special requests. His knowledge of all the sites we visited was superb and he really brought the battlefields to life for us. His choice of sites to visit was spot on as we got a broad experience of the whole campaign from 1914 to 1918. The tour was extremely good value for money and I recommend it highly. Many thanks Søren.

Soren was awesome. Soren made us so comfortable and provided such great attention to all the details from pickup, parking and even suggestions for lunch. The tour was incredibly interesting and informative. We learned so much about WWI and the battles around Ieper. The cost was well worth it having our own guide/car and we felt so lucky when seeing large buses pull up to the same sights, especially knowing we were seeing and learning additional information. Soren has such a gift. 5 stars!!!!

A brilliant tour given by a ridiculously knowledgeable guy. Soren was excellent from start to finish, very engaging, personable, and able to personalise the tour around where my grandfather had fought. I cannot recommend highly enough.
