The whole experience was brilliant. Soron’s attention to details on each person that was on the list was amazing. The battle fields, cemeteries and Brother’s in Arms Memorial were very special places. I can’t speak highly enough of our experience and would recommend this to anyone.

Ik ken dit al erg lang, staat nu plots in de belangstelling wegens het oorlogstoerisme rond Ieper. Vroeger kwam hier geen kat. De natuur errond is wel verzorgd. Er staan wat mooie planten, bomen en struiken. Ik stop er soms es om de hond uit te laten. Je kan een kleine wandeling maken.

We booked the tour as a way of connecting with family who fought and died in the great war and visiting a region that was pivotal in world events It was a fabulous tour visiting the main sites and the particular cemetery where my ancestor is buried. Soren is an outstanding guide not only personable making one feel comfortable right away but clearly knows the region and history in depth and explains in a clear concise way I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit the area. We have visited many places and I can honestly say this was one of the best if not the best tour I have had the privilege to go on
