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.

Don't miss this - Great tour and extremely knowledgeable guide. It would probably have been impossible to do this tour on one's own, let alone receive the interest information from the guide. I'm sorry I forgot his name - the tour was Sunday, June 23 and he was excellent.

A really great tour - Well planned, comprehensive tour. We were overwhelmed by the sites we saw. We appreciated the emphasis on the Canadian, Australian and New Zealander contributions to the war. Highly recommend this trip

Wonderful experience - From start to finish, this trip tucked every box for us - comfortable coach, exceptionally knowledgeable guide whose commentary brought the whole experience to life, and the sites we visited, each one with a poignant story to tell. The climax, the Last Post at the Menin Gate, was very moving. For a couple who were born many years after the Great War, we have gained an insight into what our great uncles, and thousands of other young men, endured, and died for, in the name of freedom. This trip is highly recommended.

History of the Great War - I enjoyed the Flanders Fields Rememberance tour with Brussels City Tours/Keolis. Our guide Diederiek Naeyaert was amazing! He has encyclopediac knowledge of First World War history, and he personably and skillfully shared this history in interesting detail, as we toured the cemeteries, monuments, memorials and famous battlefields of the war. He made the tour informative, interesting, educational and meaningful. He's a top tour guide! I will be telling my friends and social media contacts that this tour, with Diederiek Naeyaert as guide is a must do activity when visiting Bruges! Well done, Viator for arranging this enjoyable tour!

Five stars in every respect... - If you want a taster and you have time constraints, then this tour is for you. Action packed, and you can see so much. Our tour guide Derrick was a fountain of knowledge and so passionate and genuine. You really felt you understood the reason behind and day to day life of WW1. Five stars from us.

Recommend the Flanders Field Day Tour - Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and we so enjoyed all the little details that we may not have know had we done this trip solo! The day flew by! Bus was comfortable, the driver excellent! I recommend this day trip! Ploughmans lunch with a glass of wine and visiting with other tourists was enjoyable!
