Had a good time with Nathan, the lunch was great. He was on time and communicated quickly. We were taken to all the right places to show us over 100 years later an understanding of what occurred.

This was an brilliant day! Nathan was the perfect guide-informative, passionate, a great communicator and entertaining all at the same time - and the day went so fast. Nathan brought the history to life with vivid descriptions of the battles as we drove through the battlefields. The tour covered all of the main sites of the Flanders area as per website. Lunch was delicious with local fresh produce and Nathan was very easy to deal with in the booking process. It was an excellent value and so worth it! Peter, Helen, Lorraine, Mark Collapse

Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Nathan’s wealth of knowledge is exceptional and he selected a good mixture of sites to see with plenty of time to view. Well organised and very personalised to the small party on the mini bus. We did the full day tour and the evening Last Post tour at the Menin Gate and enjoyed having a couple of hours in between to explore Ypres. A very memorable experience! Thanks Nathan - Tracey and tony Collapse

This is a Small group tour of the WW1 Flanders Battlefields, Nathan will be your tour guide and driver, its much easier to do this than try and find your own way around. Nathan has an excellent knowledge of what led up to WW1 and also the actual key battle locations and events during the conflict. My wife and I were picked up on time by Nathan at our hotel in Bruge, we were in a van together with 3 other adults and 2 children. We were given a good run down on the events leading up to WWI on our way to the German cemetary at Langemarc. The tour was organised and there are many sites to visit in the day.We visited the Passchendaele museum and the Ypres museum about an hour in each(included in the cost), also Tyne Cot memorial of course. I had been in touch with Nathan with details of my Great Uncles ANZAC Battalion and Brigade number and also the date he died well before the tour. Nathan went out of his way to show us the area where he believed he probably died and was buried, and that is a real advantage of a small group tour like this. We also had a really nice sit down lunch at Ypres - included in the tour price. We stayed on for the Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate, you can do that as an add on to your main tour at an additional cost. Its a very moving ceremony and a large crowd attended, get there early if you want a good view. Nathan then bought us back to the door of our hotel in Bruge. Its a busy day but well worth the experience. They were different times. We would recommend the tour with Nathan. Collapse

Nathan is a great guide who included so much in the day and showed us the history that is all around when you travel through the area. Being in a smaller vehicle helped access areas that larger tour buses struggle to reach and there was just the four of us from our family which made it a very personal experience. Very sombre and powerful at times. Recommended. Collapse
