From the beginning to the end, this was a hugely entertaining and informative day. Nathan is an excellent host and has a huge depth of knowledge of the history of the WW1 and is able to translate that on the ground. There was occasional information overload but it all came together to make a most interesting and moving day. The size of the tour group is key as we never felt left behind as is so often the case with larger groups. All in all a thoroughly informative day made by the presence of Nathan. I would 100% recommend this day tour. Collapse

One of the most memorable single days I have spent in Europe. Leaving from Brugge, Nathan picks you up at your hotel or--as in my case--a nearby hotel as I was staying at an AirBNB flat, in a comfortable van. The tour group consists of 9 people, including Nathan, so it is cozy/not crowded and people soon get to know a bit of each other. I was the only American, there being four Brits and three Aussies. A good group. Nathan's knowledge of these battles, battlefields and cemeteries, of World War I, was impressive. His ability to interconnect the politics and histories of involved countries gave real texture and depth to the sites we visited. The tour included lunch and a stop at the Flanders Fields Museum, also the Passchendaele Museum. A humbling, heartbreaking, memorial tour through the beautiful Belgian countryside. A full day that passes so quickly. Collapse

This was the perfect day tour for someone staying in Leuven. I considered taking the train directly to Ypres, but the tours there started too early and the train ride too long. Bruges was closer by train, and I easily arrived by 8:30am, where Nathan picked me up at the train station. He dropped me off back at the Bruges station a little after 5pm, so I could either return to Leuven for dinner or have dinner in Bruges. Nathan was a great guide. The tour was very educational, and it hit all the major sites I wanted to see. Nathan tailored his information to the audience, providing Irish tourists with detailed info about Irish units, information about American units to American tourists, etc. The lunch was at a restaurant in Ypres, which was very good. You had a choice of three items, and it ended with beer. Than carried 8 tourists, and it was comfortable. This is a great way to see the Flanders WW1 sites and get a good look at the Belgian countryside on the drive from Bruges. Collapse

This is a first class tour and was the highlight of our stay in Bruges. Nathan the incredibly knowledgeable guide picks you up from your hotel shortly after 6:00pm and you first visit Tyne Cott cemetary an incredible site. After this he takes you to the Menen Gate and advises you how to get close to the buglers. The Last Post service is incredibly moving and very well organised. You then walk to the Ypres town centre which is amazing considering it all had to be rebuilt after WW1. I can not recommend this tour highly enough. Collapse
