Højdepunkter

We stop at a very moving German Cemetery, from where we drive to a section of the WW1 trenches. We will then visit the Monument of the Brooding Soldier. After a short lunchbreak we leave for Flanders Fields which was one of the major battlegrounds in the First World War. Our expert guide will help you throughout the visit to understand the events that led to the first world war and how the catastrophe developed. We take you to Passchendaele battlefield and the Tyne Cot Cemetery, the largest Commonwealth cemetery in the world where British, Australian and Canadian soldiers lie at rest. You visit the Monument of the ‘Brooding Soldier’ and Essex Farm. At 8 pm you attend the Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate (under restoration works until mid-2025), a daily tribute to all Commonwealth soldiers and officers that were missing after battle.

  • 5Excellent historical trip through World War 1 battlefields

    A thoroughly enjoyable day with our excellent guide, Johanne who was extremely knowledgable. Highlights were Tyne Cot cemetery and the Menin Gate along with numerous other sites we visited. I'd recommend this to anyone.

  • 5The guide, Diedrick...

    The guide, Diedrick (sp?), had an encyclopedic knowledge of the battles and military life in Flamders during The Great War. We visited battlefields, monuments, and cemeteries as he recounted the history and pointed out relevant topography. The Flanders Museum in Ypres was excellent, and we found excellent restaurants for lunch and supper in Ypres.

  • 5Excellent Flanders Fields Excursion

    This tour was an excellent way to see the Flanders Fields area. Johan was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and presented the information in an engaging way. The itinerary included enough to time to explore Ypres a bit, and there was sufficient time to take photos at every site. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a day trip to Flanders Fields.

  • 5War Memorials Emotionally Charged Tour

    Very good tour well worth the money. Tour guide very knowledgeable bus driver not very friendly. The last post ceremony at the end of the tour makes the tour worth every penny. I have mobility issues so at times stayed on the bus, tried making small talk and asking driver for information like if he could drop us at the traffic light by the train station upon our return to Brugge he never answered just ignored me. We asked our tour guide to be dropped off at train station traffic light so we could access a cab easier. After a heated french conversation exchange between the bus driver and the tour guide, the bus dropped us off on the opposite side away from taxi stand and Brugge tour bus stand. They both knew that I speak French. I felt that last exchange to be rude and unprofessional and it cost them each a 20 euros tip.

About Bruges

Bruges is a medieval Flemish city of canals, cobbled squares and brick gables, its historic centre protected as a World Heritage site.

Bruges grew rich in the Middle Ages on the cloth trade and as a port joined to the sea by a channel, until the waterway silted up and left the city almost untouched for centuries. The Markt square is overlooked by the Belfry, whose 366 steps lead up to a carillon and a view across the rooftops. A short walk away, the Burg holds the Gothic city hall and the Basilica of the Holy Blood.

Top-ranked sights in Bruges: Burg Square, Market Square (Markt), Minnewater (Lake of Love).
