• 5Unforgettable and Meaningful

  We will remember this day forever. The guide Stefan, really made the day unforgettable and meaningful by sharing the history and stories of living in the area during WW1. If you want a tour with depth - go with Stefan.

• 5Day trip to Flanders fields

  It’s a long day but it’s worth it. Steffan was always giving so much information at every chance he found. These details he gave us made it so much easier to understand at each location we visited . Finishing off our trip was the last post ceremony in Ypres, this was certainly worth the wait. Although it was a long trip back to Brussells, I certainly enjoyed the whole day. Many thanks to Steffan and bus driver Patrick on a job well done

• 5That was a very...

  That was a very interesting tours as we were anxious to learn about WWI. Patrick was very good at providing information and was very knowledgeable about the war. The cemetery visits were great seeing the young age of our poor soldiers who died fighting for freedom. We could had used more time at the museum but there was a lot to see and experience and I understand. Very educational and was providing us with more information about we already knew about WWI. Recommended as a tour.

• 5Long day, but well worth it!

  We learned so much, and our guide (Dietrich?) was so full of information but explained it in an easily understood manner. We saw so many places. It was a very long day, but well worth it. Very moving.

• 5Highly recommended company, guide and driver

  When you consider the distance and that you get entry into the museum, if you’re considering booking this trip you shouldn’t hesitate. Johan, our guide, was extremely knowledgable about Brussels, Belgium, the battlefields and historical sites. He gave a vast amount of information about a wide variety of things, as well as giving time to digest the information given. As well as knowing the route inside and out. The driver, Manuel, was an incredible driver and very skilled at navigating some of the difficult streets, even the tour guide was impressed! It was a long day but broken up and well worth it, for history buffs and people wanting to learn more. I would recommend this trip to anyone interested in booking, but also any of their other trips. This company was brilliant, and I would thoroughly recommend any of their trips. Thank you for such a great day out.

About Brussels

Brussels, Belgium's capital and a seat of European institutions, pairs a gilded Grand-Place with comic-strip murals, Art Nouveau houses and waffle stalls.

The Grand-Place is the centre of old Brussels, a cobbled square ringed by gilded guildhalls and the Gothic town hall, whose spire rises over everything. A few streets away, the small bronze Manneken Pis draws a crowd. On the hill above, the Royal Palace and the Mont des Arts gardens look down on the lower town, while the Atomium, a giant model of an iron crystal built for the 1958 World Fair, stands on the northern edge.

Top-ranked sights in Brussels: Grand-Place (Grote Markt), Manneken Pis, Royal Galleries of Saint Hubert (Les Galeries St-Hubert).
