A guide who’s as interested as you are

Published on May, 2025

Soren is just about the best guide you could have on a tour like this. He’s SO knowledgeable about WW1 and the battles around Ypres, and he also loves hearing individual stories. He tailored the tour to seeing where my 2 great uncles were buried, but also put their deaths into context of battles and what what was happening at the time. If you are keen to find out more about your individual relatives who are buried in Flanders, DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THIS TOUR IT’S WORTH IT.

Tour will not disappoint!

Published on Apr, 2025

Thank you to Soren for giving us a great tour. He contacted me a while before the tour asking if we had any particular regiments or people we were interested in knowing about. He then made sure he found out as much as possible. On the day Soren was a great guide very knowledgeable and a great personality. He didn’t rush us and we went over our time but he was happy and also interested in our family’s history. If you book a tour with Soren you will not be disappointed.

Travelling with children

Published on Apr, 2025

I did this tour with my friend and her children. Our children were aged range from 10 to 6 years old. He was very patient with the children and gave them a fun tour with lots of facts. He went to our pace as well, which was very helpful.

Exceptional!

Published on Apr, 2025

Soren was an exceptional guide. His interest in the topic come across as he weaves the facts of this horrific time with stories that enabled us to understand both the events and personal toll. He readily handled our questions and went over-and-above to research my ancestors who were in WWI. I came in with no knowledge and left with a deeper understanding of these battle. I would give Soren 10 out of 5 stars if I could.

A MUST for WWI nerds!!

Published on Apr, 2025

I have traveled a lot in my life and taken many tours, and I can honestly say that Søren offers one of the most complete and pleasant experiences! This guy knows his history!! He comes equipped with large photos and maps to it the history and what you're seeing in perspective. He is also a really nice and fun person! I was delayed on my way to Ypres and he accommodated me no problem. This was definitely a day I will remember with great fondness for the rest of my life!!
