Memorable experience
Vicki_C, Apr 2024
Great insight & historical detail of WW1 battlefields. Claude provided a very good understanding of the environment & tough fighting conditions for the soldiers. Visiting the war graves, WW1 museum & last post at Menin Gate was a memorable experience.
More than a WW1 battlefield tour - an investment in Australian history
wayne_s, Nov 2019
My husband and I were met at our hotel in Bruges by Claude (who had emailed days prior to confirm pick up location and time). Claude was a wealth of knowledge and his tour was professional and informative. The lunch provided was home cooked and a delight (thanks Nelly). The finale of the tour was the wreath laying ceremony at Menin Gate which is an experience we will never forget. I can recommend this tour without hesitation for anyone interested in Commonwealth WW1 history.Thank you so very much Claude. Regards Wayne & Janet
