Ypres Battlefields WW1 Tour
Our four day/three-night tour based at the four-star Hostellerie Kemmelberg south of Ypres in a forest with breathtaking views.
Because of the sheer number of interesting sites, museums and areas of particular significance in World War One we have specialist guide, and transport organised to allow you to get the most from to these areas.
It would be almost impossible to get all of us into a convoy travelling from site to site and we felt that for once the cars should have a rest while we can get the most from our guides while we are travelling.
On the second day in each location, we are letting you make your own decisions on what you would like to do as some people may have particular areas they wish to explore further (both of our guides are very happy to discuss these with you) or you may prefer to see more of the local area.
Bruges is just an hour’s drive from Hostellerie Kemmelberg and for those of you who haven’t been there this is an opportunity to visit this beautiful canal side town.
