Fantastic Battlefields Tour - Must Do
Wendy_G, Sept 2023
Roger's knowledge was vast and he easily narrated the various information to us. Roger answered all of our questions, sometimes the answer was 'nobody knows' and why. The Sanctuary Wood Museum is a must visit. Roger allowed sufficient time at each location. If you want an overview of the WWI battles in Belgium or any other WWI information, contact Roger and undertake one of his tours - Roger is great.
Always something new to learn

My husband and I very much enjoyed our Ypres battlefield experience with Roger. He is very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about helping visitors get the most out of their experience while visiting various WWI sites. Definitely worth doing while in Belgium!

Our guide, Roger, was a British Military historian and author, and he presented the war history of this area in a way that was easy to understand and with respect. This was a small group tour (6) so it was easy to talk with Roger and ask questions - he spent more time than I would have expected ensuring that we understood what he was telling us and was happy to expand on anything we had questions about. Just a wonderful, knowledgeable guide.
