We had such a fantastic time on this tour. Our guide was extremely informative and interesting and was able to answer any questions we had. If we'd have liked she would have been able to tailor the tour specifically for us - so if you have relatives who fought in Ypres, let them know in advance and they'll research their... more

Jack was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. He was so accommodating to our needs. It really is a beautiful part of the World, made even more special by the way the CWGC look after the cemeteries and monuments with such obvious care and respect. Poignant and unforgettable. This tour is a great way to get the flavour for the area... more

I was one of a party of four Australian friends who had the great pleasure of three full days touring with Jacques Ryckenbosch of Flanders Battlefields Tours - a great experience that exceeded my expectations. Jacques brought to life each of the sites that we visited both in the Ypres Salient and the Somme, sharing with us an historical perspective,... more

Here is the note that I sent back to the tour operator after my tour - Genevra and Jacques, I just wanted to pass along my thanks for a fantastic tour. Jacques did an amazing job of educating me on the battles and the cemeteries that we visited. The tour re-doubled my interest in World War I and will make... more

We opted for a minibus tour of the Flanders Battlefield Tours. We were especially interested in the Australian cemeteries and Bayernwald (the German trenches). I emailed this company with what I wanted (there were 3 of us) and they came back with a tailormade morning tour just for us. It was fantastic driving around the Belgium countryside in a mini... more

I booked with this tour (Grand Tour) group based on the reviews on Trip Advisor, and I must say, the previous reviewers were 100% correct. Jack (Jacque) knowledge, enthusiasm and respect for this important part of history literally made the battles at Ypres come alive. We had a diverse group including customers from New Zealand, England, USA, Brazil and Germany... more

This was an incredible tour. The sights are interesting, but the stories are what makes this tour special. I went on the Grand Tour, and loved every minute of it. I know a little about WWI, but this tour can be enjoyed by all knowledge levels. The focus is on individual stories, with the big picture mixed in for reference.... more

He really knows his subject and his knowledge is without question one of the leaders in his field. he will however work with and talk to anyone with any level of understanding of the 1st world... more

I contacted Flanders Battlefield Tours at late notice and they were able to arrange a private tour. They were also able to research a relative from New Zealand who died in WW1. We spent 2 1/2 hours on the tour and visited the grave of my relative. We also visited the main sites of the area. The guide was absolutely... more
