A Dream Fulfilled

Published on Dec, 2024

Today's tour fulfilled a decades old dream to see the Vimy Memorial, to witness the nightly tribute at Menen Gate, to walk in a WWI trench, and to see the geography which cost so many lives. Claude explained the battles bit also gave life to the countryside and the impact on the non-combatants. Claude is an engaging teacher and gracious host adding stories pertinent to our particular interests. I can enthusiastically encourage others to take one of Claude's tour. He is highly knowledgeable.

Wonderful Bucket list trip of Canadian war sites.

Published on Jun, 2024

This tour was incredible and one we will always remember. The whole day was well organized, comfortable drives and so informative. Claude was the perfect guide for the tone and respectfulness of the places we were visiting and local history and knowledge. Finishing with the Last Post at the Menin gate was a special touch.

Canadians living close to an armory, see the WWI battlefields first hand.

Published on Dec, 2023

This was a once in a lifetime experience for our family of six (from Canada - the four children in their thirties). We had limited time in Belgium after our Dutch reunion, and the full day tour (9-9) maximized our exposure to these remote battlefield sites without us having to rent a vehicle. The travel was comfortable and the opportunities for lunch and dinner and free time were good. Claude's knowledge and communications were exceptional and added a great deal to the general experience. This was the best investment of our trip.

A Most Enlightening Experience

Published on Sep, 2023

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...

Published on May, 2023

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.
