Customised World War I Tour

I'm familiar from books with the major battles of the western front in WWI--The Somme, Verdun, Belleau Wood, Ypres, Passchendaele, etc.--and I wanted to see some of the actual battlefields. Natalie took my wife and me to the American Field Cemetery at Warengem, the Tyne Cot British cemetery, two museums, and both reconstructed trench systems (at Passchendaele) and original trenches at Hill 62/Sanctuary Woods (near Ypres), as well as the towns of Ypres and Passchendaele. It was the perfect one-day tour of the Ypres and Passchendaele battlefields. My wife thought this was the best day of our two weeks in Belgium. Highly recommended for any one even vaguely interested in history.

Natalie was a helpful, resourceful and flexible guide. She did both ww1 tour and picked us up at the airport on our arrival the first day. That pickup was complicated. First flight cancelations and changed schedules which she accommodated. The on pickup a gas spill/accident stopped all airport car traffic and Natalie coached us for getting to and meeting up at a nearby rail station. Then on to our hotel. The Ypres ww1 tour was amazing, including Hill 62, where we walked in actual ww1 trenches and gained a more real sense of the trench war. Natalie was informative on many subjects. I would use her again, in a heartbeat. She made our trip to Antwerp and beyond, a success.

Excellent individualization of tour stops to accommodate our interests and needs. Highly recommended for those seeking a direct tour of WWI sites in Flanders from Brussels.

Fantastic tour covering a good mixture of trenches, a museum, bunkers, monuments and graves. Natalie was friendly and very informative providing additional pictures and maps to help contextualise the sites visited. Would reccomend to both history fans and those looking for a more visual engagement in the topic.

This was a great tour of a WWI battle(s) that lasted over four years and laid waste to the area surrounding Ypres. Natalie provided transportation for the tour and directed us through a museum, the battlefield, Ypres and a nice lunch at an out door cafe. She has great subject matter knowledge. Highly recommend this tour if you are interested in the subject. This was the second of three tours Natalie guided for us.

Very knowledgeable guide, arrived on time, made great suggestions
