Ypres Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Roger is an excellent guide. His knowledge and passion for history were evident throughout the tour. Highly recommended.

Had a great tour with Soren. No problem meeting up and from there it all ran really smoothly. Took away all the worry of driving and let us focus on the sights and sites. Very knowledgeable and accommodating and tailored the trip so we could visit two cemeteries. A great uncle rested in each and it was moving to make the visit. We laid a wreath in the official wreath laying and last post ceremony at the Mennen gate at his suggestion and I am so glad we did . It was a great half day tour that he let run way way past the half day. He is genuinely interested in the WW1 history and lets his guests take all the time they need. Doing it ourselves would not have come close. Highly recommended

The tour was very informative and gave a great understanding of what happened in the First World War. Roget’s knowledge was impressive. The sights were very good.

Søren gave an excellent tour of the WW1 sites. He was very accommodating and his knowledge made the tour very interesting. We all enjoy it tremendously and we highly recommend it!!

The tour was brilliant. Well organized, efficient and relaxed. Roger is a published author and a man who really knows his stuff. He is able to customise the tour to best suit his customers and it was lovely to have a good bit of New Zealand content which was interesting to everyone in the group. Thank you so much Roger, from Ritch and Sandra

Thank you Roger for a great day out, it was so enjoyable and your knowledge knew no bounds.

This is a great tour of the major significant sites related to the WWI battles for the Ypres salient. Soren is an enthusiastic, engaging and knowledgeable guide. We covered a tremendous amount of history in a short amount of time (a day) without feeling rushed. We saw the most we could reasonably see in a day with time to consider each site and its somber significance. A well paced tour with a great guide. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Soren was so incredibly knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. One of the best guided tours I have ever been on. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I found it expensive for what it was and the lunch provided was just adequate

We had a wonderful afternoon with the family. We split up into four groups and held a friendly competition to see who could score the most points. The mix of questions and challenges made sure there was something for everyone. Since we didn’t have to follow a fixed route, we could decide ourselves when to stop for a drink — which was definitely welcome given the beautiful weather.We discovered new spots in Ypres that we didn’t know before and learned an extra piece of the city’s history. Definitely worth repeating, and perfect to try out in other cities as well.

Very clear and easy to follow guide. Worked well with a clearance concise narrator

Exceptionally good tour hosted by Mike, a local historian with excellent English speaking skills. Mike collected us in a very comfortable minibus and showed us many sites and memorials around Ypres. His knowledge was superb and he answered every question we had with authority. Mike also owns a really interesting shop close to the Menin Gate which I would also recommend visiting.

We had a very nice afternoon. Learned and discovered fun things. We will definitely do it again in another city.

Soren was an outstanding tour guide and made my visit to the Ypres Salient truly memorable. He took me all across the area, visiting the key WWI sites, and his depth of knowledge was exceptional. He explained the history clearly and thoughtfully, bringing the events of the First World War to life with context, detail, and respect. His passion for the subject really showed, and he was happy to answer questions and tailor the tour to my interests. The experience was not only informative but also deeply moving. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to understand the history of Ypres and the Great War.

Soren did a wonderful job.. He is a walking encyclopedia of The Battle of Ypres.. Took his time with explaining all aspects of the siege.. Highly , recommend this tour..
