I don’t usually put bad reviews on trip advisor but feel I have to today. In fact if it was possible I would like to give 0/5. I got the details for Nathan from the Crowne Plaza in Bruges where we are staying. After several emails he confirmed we were booked on the full day trip and would be collected from the hotel at 08.40. We waited outside for 30 mins before my wife asked the hotel to call Nathan to check what the problem was. That was when he confirmed that he wouldn’t be coming. He gave a lame excuse about a car breakdown but why then didn’t he contact me? He had a mobile number and an email address. He also lied to the hotel saying he had sent an email to them. Why would he do that when I booked directly? The hotel tried to get us on another tour but it was too late and this is our last day in Bruges. I would not recommend him under any circumstances. The only saving grace is that I hadn’t paid any money. I would like Nathan to know that he has spoiled what has otherwise been a fantastic trip to Bruges. Collapse

Nathan provided excellent knowledge, delicious lunch, comprehensive points of interest and cheerful conversation. Highly recommend this very full day to anyone who wants an insight into the trauma and tragedy of WW1 in and around Ypers.

Two of us did the day tour of Flanders Fields. All my dealings with Nathan before my trip were informative and efficient. We were collected on time from our apartment. there were six in total on the tour. The tour was interesting and very informative, both on Flanders Fields, World War I and many aspects of life in Belgium. The lunch was lovely. everything was perfect. We were dropped right back to our apartment. I would highly recommend this trip. Collapse

We booked a tour during the week of the 100 year anniversary of Armistace Day--the day before all of the world leaders showed up to commemorate the end of World War I. having Belgian local, Nathan, as our guide was critical to avoiding the traffic and congested spots of Flanders while still having an amazing, sobering, and enlightening experience. Our highlight, being farmers like Nathan, was when he took us to his good friend Geert's farm near Langemark--land that Geert's family has farmed for over 600 years. To see physical evidence of the destruction, war and post-war conditions, and continual (100 years later!) "Iron Harvest" from this local perspective was amazing and truly humbling. Nathan made the entire day pleasurable, eminently interesting, and comfortable--and full-packed! On Nathan's precisely timed schedule there was no time for dilly-dallying! We fully and whole-heartedly endorse this experience for anyone interested in the guts and grist of the Belgian perspective of World War I! Collapse

My wife and I booked both the last post tour and the full day battlefield tour over the centenary weekend. Nathan made our trip. His knowledge and passion for World War 1 history is absolutely amazing but he manages to combine this with humour, personality and little touches throughout the tour that only a local could know. Nathan's tours are worth every euro and he will ensure that you get the very best experience possible. Thank you Nathan - We had a great time. Collapse
