Claude was a wonderful tour guide for this trip. He was very knowledgeable on the history of different battles and explained them while showing us where the front lines were. Most memorable was the Canadian Vimy Memorial and the Passchendaele Museum. We were not rushed as in larger groups and as it was a private tour, we were able to see more sites than larger bus groups. We also received an information booklet at the end of the tour of all the sites we visited.

Claude was a fantastic guide. Very passionate and knowledgeable about WWI and the battlefields. We focused on the Canadian experience and he helped to make the day memorable. Would recommend Claude to anyone who is interested in spending the day in remembrance.

The guide did not give any history...
Marianne K, Jun 2016
The guide did not give any history along the drive from Bruges to Vimy for 1.5 hours he did not point out anything of interest.. there were lots of things he could have pointed out .. we had to ask what was what.
The handouts he gave us at end of the trip .. were not in order and some we backwards.
He should have had a map that showed the area and what was happening in the war on the map .. and where the fronts were etc ... key battles etc ...
Should explain where we are going and what the significance was to the war etc ...
