Awesome experience with amazing guide! - Awesome guiding trip. We booked with a six persons family the Ypres tour and loved every bit of it. Interesting history, beautiful scenery and breathtaking stories. The best part of the trip was the guide Joris. He is so enthousiastic and very funny. Loved his silly jokes and haunting stories. This guy knows what's up! Tip: ask him for a handstand haha :)

An unforgettable experience in Ypres with Friends - I came to Ypres with a group of friends, and I can say it was one of the best experiences we've ever had together. The history of World War I fascinated us, but what really stood out was the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate. It was a moving and solemn tribute to the fallen soldiers that left us all speechless. Our guide, Joris, was amazing. Not only was he super friendly and approachable, but he also had impressive knowledge of the history and details of the place. Thanks to his passion and enthusiasm, history came to life for us. Also, he was always watching that we were comfortable and enjoyed the tour. The day was full of special moments, and we all agreed that it was the best way to understand history and honor those who fought. It was definitely worth every euro. I would recommend it without hesitation!

Our guide provided detailed insights into the battles fought here and the immense sacrifices made by soldiers from around the world. Walking through the war cemeteries and visiting the Menin Gate was both somber and powerful, reminding us of the heavy cost of war.

A wonderful day in Ypres - Touring Ypres with our guide was a wonderful experience that made the city’s history feel real. He knew so much about the beautiful buildings, like the Cloth Hall and St. Martin’s Cathedral, and made every story interesting. As we walked through the cobblestone streets, he shared stories of the city’s past, making it easy to imagine what life was like here long ago. At the Menin Gate, his respectful words during the ceremony made the moment even more special, making our visit to Ypres unforgettable.
