Thank you Nathan for an informative and engaging tour. My head still feels like a “cabbage”as you predicted.

We were delighted by our experience on this tour. Nathan picked us up from our door and took us on a 12-hour tour of a range of fascinating sites. His knowledge was hugely impressive; without knowing that half our party was American, he was able to speak at length and in detail about their experience of the war, as indeed he was able to about every aspect of the war we asked about - and also about all sorts of other aspects of history we happened to cover. He was fabulous company and very accommodating, getting hold of a car seat for the toddler in our party. The tour was really well planned, with the museums coming after we had seen a number of the sites. Also, the sites themselves were such an interesting range of the standard museums and the more unusual friends’ collections, which brought home the sheer scale of the conflict. We’re still raving about it now as I write this. Highly recommended! Collapse

We shared our tour with Debbie, Vicky and Pauline. A unique tour with unique bits in it; the garage on the leek farm with all the old grenades and shells was jaw dropping because we had no idea people in the area we’re still finding remains from a hundred years ago. It really brought the sheer horror of it to life. Nathan clearly has a huge amount of knowledge but he knows his audience and is able to break it down into nuggets of information. The experience was overwelming emotionally but due to Nathan’s expertise we were able to grasp the main facts and come away feeling much better informed. Fantastic day, fantastic value and fantastic guide; big thank you Nathan. Cheers! Collapse

Nathan’s non stop nine hours of knowledge sharing gave us a real taste and sense of proximity to the unspeakable, non sensical waste of life’s that was WW1. Not simply acting as a taxi, this trip joined up many dots. The schedule helps you see the battle lines, the trench life, the everlasting scars on the landscape and the on going impact upon the population. This wasn’t just a trip to many monuments and museums but more importantly Nathan shared a fraction of his deep knowledge of the key drivers, the innovations, the key characters and how evidence of all the factors can be witnessed in the fields as you drive by. We highly recommend you go for this more intimate quality mini bus trip over the coach tours that could not even try to give the same experience. Collapse

We only wanted an evening trip as we have done WW1 battlefields before and we were only in Bruges for 1 full day (& 2 half days) therefore Nathan's evening trip was just the job. I only booked a couple of days before we went (mix up over e mails) but he had a couple of seats left luckily. We were picked up promptly from our hotel. He is very knowledgable and gave an interesting narrative as we went along as to how and why the first world war started - much more than just the assassination of archduke Ferdinand. We stopped at Tyne Cot for a short while - it was getting dark but able to take photos of the memorial. We parked in the main square and walked up to the Menin Gate. The ceremony doesn't take long but there is time & opportunity for photos with the buglers after and to ask questions. Time to pop into a couple of shops before being take back to our hotel - arrived back about 21.20, not too late. Collapse
