Excellent guide and tour

The highlight of my trip. Nathan is an amazing guide and I can’t believe how much we saw in one day. If you’re considering a WW1 tour then this is the one. Highly recommended!

I took my parents and my partner to Flanders with the principle objective of laying a wreath on my great uncles grave in memory of his sacrifice 100 years ago. We used this trip as an opportunity to spend a day understanding more fully the background to events back in 1918. I booked a full day trip with Nathan and his knowledge of the broader context and details closer to home were outstanding and so informative. I can’t recommend his services highly enough. Your knowledge, patience and hospitality were most appreciated by us all Nathan. Many thanks Collapse

There were 6 of us went on this day trip with most of us having admittedly limited knowledge and unsure what to expect. We were lucky as another couple had cancelled so we end up with a private tour. Nathan picked us up from our accommodation at 8.45am and we were back for 5.15pm. It was a full day but it flew by. Nathan is a wealth of knowledge and the more questions or involvement you have the better. The tour was quite emotional at times and what was great was that between sites you were left to experience it on your own and in your own time and meeting back at the vehicle. Lovely lunch was also included. The Passchendaele museum was definitely the highlight and getting to spend an hour or 2 in Ypres. Would highly recommend the tour if you are here for a couple of days.

A highlight day in every way. Nathan picked us up at our hotel and with three other couples we spent a memorable day. We were the only Canadians with three American couples and Nathan took us to areas that helped define our country. We could never have done this on our own. Nathan is an historian and so knowledgeable. Seeing actual remains from the war almost 100 years ago being routinely removed from farmers fields really hit home to show the amount of devastation. Great day Collapse

Wonderful day spent with Nathan on this WW1 Battlefields tour. He picked us up on time right outside our hotel. He is a historian and his knowledge of the history leading to the first world war is excellent as also is his knowledge of the area driving us around to the various cemeteries and huge craters left from the battles. We made numerous stops which he let us explore ourselves having given us the knowledge to know and understand what we were seeing.We had lunch at Ypres in a lovely restaurant there with a beer and coffee all included in the price. We then had time in Ypres to visit the Flanders Fields Museum and to have a close look at the Menim gate. If we had had relatives there in the cemetries Nathan would have been more than happy to have helped us locate the grave.A long day from 08.45 to 17.30 but a very memorable and enjoyable one.
