Flanders Fields and Menin Gate
Stay Date: 03/2019, dorothyg329 wrote this review.
Excellent tour. Nathan takes small groups and he is very well informed. The day was heartbreaking...the waste of all those young lives. Menin Gate ceremony very moving. If you just have a day this is the way to spend it.

Booked as part of a group, 8 of us had a full day tour of the Ypres Salient. Collected from our hotel , we had an interesting background talk on the build up to the war en-route to the Ypres area. Nathan our guide and driver had oustanding knowledge. We visited a number of sites and two museums during the very full day as well as many cemeteries and memorials. Many sites were backed up by contemporary photos which showed the absolute destruction and recovery of the landscape. An excellent light lunch was inclued in Ypres. We made time to visit the grave of a relative of mine, which made the experience very personal. So if you do take this trip, get the details of any relatives and tell Nathan at the start of the day. This was a very emotional experience and everyone should visit these WW1 battlefields to understand the scale and futility of the mass slaughter that occurred 100 years ago. A touching gift at the end was a packet of poppy seeds. We will remember them... Collapse

Our friends booked the tour for the 8 of us during our weekend in Bruges and I had no idea what to expect. The day turned out to be an incredible discovery of history, landscapes, monuments, and human stories woven together by global forces - a most moving, interesting, engaging tour I've ever experienced. Nathan's ability to retain knowledge and share the details is truly remarkable. We were picked up right at our hotel, whisked away into the Flanders countryside accompanied by the backstory of how WWI conflict came to be...visited several war cemetaries, museums, monuments and bunkers - representing both sides of conflict. We were given lunch mid-day in a nice restaurant. All entrance fees and lunch pre-paid so no waiting in long queues. During the van ride, Nathan continually kept us engaged with pointing out craters, trenches, leftover WWI metal & cement trench artifacts still in use by local farmers for fencing, walls, paving...small collections of WWI shells on the roadside ready for collection & disposal even 100 years later. This tour made a huge impression on me. Well worth it. Everyone should experience this to fully understand this important period of history and its lasting repercussions. One full day. Collapse

We booked the tour after reading reviews on here and i was not disappointed.The tour with Nathan was absolutely brilliant. Booked it and paid on the day Nathan picked us up from the hotel at the time he said and then proceeded to collect a family who had a special request to try find where their uncle had fallen during the great war. Nathan took us to the around showing us different sites and explaining the history of Brugge and Ypres. Took us to a museum that shows us some trenches and aspect of front line. Then took us to Tyne Cot Cemetery which was incredible and humbling . Show us around showing up different parts of the front line, from the different colour tress red or blue to the German or Allies bunkers. His knowledge of the world war was incredible. After lunch in Ypres we went to the In Flanders museum which was about an hour , Menin Gate and then to the special request of the family for them to find their uncle name on the wall in a very small private cemetery was incredibly humbling also. Finally took us to site of the Christmas truce and then to the Island of Ireland Peace Park. This tour is a must if you're planning a trip to Brugge add an extra for this you will not be disappointed. Picked up , dropped off, entrance to 3 museums ,lunch and so much more. Real value for money and a full day. Collapse
