Just a great all around history of the war. Many visits with different aspects of the war. He can get as specific on details as the group wants.

Superb tour - amazing professional and knowledgeable guide Roger I’d highly recommend this to anyone
Jo_T, Mar 2026
Roger our guide was in contact with us soon after we booked, confirming pick details. Roger arrived on time and was simply delightful and full of knowledge that wasn’t overwhelming. He was ready for any questions and because it was just the two of us, he adjusted the itinerary to focus on our individual interests. We were impressed with everything and all the places we visited in our morning tour. Visiting the battlefields, cemeteries and a museum where the original tunnels still remain was an eye opener and gave an even greater respect to those who fought for our country. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

We all enjoyed our tour with Roger. He told us lots of information about each part of Ypres that we visited. He encouraged us to ask questions and so we all learnt a lot about the events of WW1. Would highly recommend this tour, thanks again Roger!

We had a lovely day with Roger. He was super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and respectful at letting us move at our own pace.
Would highly recommend!
The kids said to give Roger a 10/10!

Roger was very informative and helpful. So glad we did this day trip as we learned a lot. There was so much to see
Sean_H, Nov 2025
Very informative and certainly worth while. I have been to the sites before without a guide and the difference Roger made to my understanding was immense.
Cathy_N, Oct 2025
Roger was an amazing guide and went out of his way to help us trace a relative who was buried at Hooge Crater.
Roger had an endless knowledge of the areas and was an excellent host. Would thoroughly recommend doing the tour.
Kevin_R, Sep 2025
Thought provoking throughout. Thank you Roger for the detailed information delivered in a simple yet meaningful manner. We felt it was possible to hang on to every explanation delivered by Roger during the Tour. Highly recommend and would do the Tour again without hesitation. Kevin, Maria, Lisa and Steve

Roger was an excellent guide and such a wealth of knowledge. He taught us anew information about the wars and since we are Canadians he highlighted our contributions. We didn’t realize he has written two books about the war and we got him to sign one for us.
Highly recommend him.
Mitch_U, Sep 2025
Absolutely fantastic. Roger is a great bloke and is extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend. Thanks again mate.
Robert_H, Sep 2025
If you have a relative lost here In the war and want a better understanding of the environment, conditions, history, this tour with Roger is the one that I recommend? I give it 10 out of 5 star rating. Roger is down to earth and brings the history to life. Confronting, emotional, overwhelming. Roger goes above and beyond a standard tour guide of walk and talk, he has a passion for the subject.
Rob_M, Sep 2025
Roger is an expert and delivers the information in an interesting and engaging manner. We were a group of six friends, some of whom had previously attended other WW1 tours but all agreed that Roger was the best guide they had experienced ‘by far’.
I highly recommend this tour
Maree_W, Aug 2025
A great tour that was personalized by Rodger to help find a relatives grave - very informative on all aspects of the local area and WW1
Taylor_D, Aug 2025
This was an outstanding experience. Roger is incredibly knowledgeable and brought World War One to life in a way that was both engaging and deeply moving. He helped us truly grasp the magnitude of the events while making the history easy to understand. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the stories he’s sharing and is committed to ensuring everyone leaves with a deeper appreciation for the history.
One of the highlights was how Roger provided national context for everyone on the tour. Our group included Americans, New Zealanders, and Australians, and he tailored parts of the tour to highlight each country’s contributions and memorials, which made the experience even more meaningful.
I also want to mention Roger’s kindness and flexibility. Due to a train mishap, I ended up in France instead of Ypres and arrived 20 minutes late—I was sure we’d missed the bus. When I called, Roger actually looped back to pick us up, ensuring we didn’t miss a thing. That level of accommodation was above and beyond.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to truly see and experience the history of Flanders Fields. Also I just finished Roger's book "Reclaiming The Salient". It was excellent.

Roger was informative and timely. He gave us time to soak up the experience. Sobering, but insightful tour.

Danielle_B, Jun 2025
Roger was an excellent host who was extremely knowledgeable. He gave an in depth perspective and made you feel as though you had gone back in time and were reliving the moments.
Ian_O, Jun 2025
This was a great tour. Roger was a very knowledgeable guide and this was a very relaxing and comfortable experience. We highly recommend this tour .
Susan_T, Jun 2025
Such an informative tour. Learnt so much more than if we had gone independently. Plenty of time to ourselves too. Roger was amazing. His knowledge is extraordinary. Would highly recommend.
Rodney_C, Jun 2025
Great tour of local Ypres salient. Hits highlights without being too long. Great communication and easy pickup at the train station. One less star because van was a little cramped in back but not really an issue in the grand scheme of things. :)
Hailey_K, Apr 2025
Roger was awesome! He’s so kind and knowledgeable. My husband and I were more than happy with the tour given
Paul_T, Mar 2025
This was an outstanding tour, Roger was great company and incredibly knowledgeable about all things WW1. He took us to exactly the right places and really brought events to life. He was very flexible (we had a bit of a nightmare journey getting to Ypres, arriving an hour late but he was more than happy to work around it and give us the full tour). Highly recommended.
Alyssa_A, Feb 2025
I had an amazing tour with Roger! I did the 1/2 day tour which was packed with museums and sites. The pick-up/meet-up was very easy from the Ypres train station. Roger has an immense knowledge of WWI and the Ypres Salient (and has written 2 books). I was lucky enough to visit in the off season and have a very small tour group, allowing for me to ask a ton of questions which Roger happily answered and shared interesting anecdotes/facts. I recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn about WWI history or further their knowledge and visit the sites firsthand. It’s so much more impactful to have a guide versus seeing the WWI sites without.

Amazing to see the trenches after all these years. Very knowledgeable guide. Enjoyed the experience very much.
Tania_P, Dec 2024
Roger was very knowledgeable regarding the WW1 &2. So glad we did this tour we took a train fromBrussels to Ypres and did a day tour very doable in one day. A very nice town to visit.
Eddy_O, Sep 2024
When you want to know more about World War 1, this is your choice.
A bit short sometimes, but a lot of information about everything.
Leah_D, Sep 2024
If you are heading to Leper you have to do this tour! Roger is passionate and informative. Very very good!
Christopher_L, Aug 2024
Roger had a good balance of museums and monuments. I enjoyed his unique and personal perspective to the area. His knowledge of the German grave history provided a really unique insight into post war politics and relations as well.
