Full description

Enjoy a trip of historical discovery on this full-day minibus tour that takes you through West Flanders, from Bruges to the Belgian town of Ypres. The city, nicknamed Wipers, was rebuilt according to a medieval blueprint after being completely razed to the ground in the early 1900s.

It was also here that the Germans invaded Belgium during World War I; a strategic move to attack France from the north.

You will see the remaining artifacts and places of the city as you discover restored trenches, stroll among war graves in Passchendale and Polygon Wood, clamber over craters and bunkers on the preserved battlefield, and visit key war memorials. 

Behold the impressive sight of the imposing Menin Gate Memorial to the missing soldiers, complete with 55,000 names, erected on the spot where the soldiers left the city for the battlefront.

As your day continues you will also see the iconic poppy fields of Flanders as you ride through the countryside in an air-conditioned mini coach, perfect for relaxing and taking in the picturesque scenery.

It is possible to visit an ancestor's grave if requested ahead, and it is also possible to extend the tour for the Last Post Ceremony under the Menin Gate Memorial with transport back to your hotel in Bruges. 

This must be requested in advance as well and will incur a fee of €20 to be paid on the day of the tour.

Includes
  • Transportation in an air-conditioned mini-coach
  • Guide
  • Museum entry ticket and lunch at Hooge Crater or an alternative stop
  • Drinks
Not suitable for
  • Children under 8 years

We had a wonderful day! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the WW I , the events leading up to it, and its effect on West Flanders. Lunch was good. We stayed for the Menin Gate ceremony and were driven back to our hotel by taxi along with several others from the tour. The only issue we had was the confusion re: how we would be picked up for the tour. The paperwork said different things in different places. We asked the front desk to contact the company and they told us we would be picked up from our hotel along with several others. This worked out well for us.

Phillipe ensured we had a wonderful day with a detailed & very informative commentary. Many stops were included & time was allowed for us to wander. Lunch was more than satisfactory & the included museum entry was a great addition to the day. Watching the ceremony at the Menin Gate was a poignant finish to our day & Phillipe was prompt with our pick up. Highly recommended!

The knowledge and information shared was amazing and emotional. I went to pay my respects to those that have their lives so we could live but this tour gave me so much more insight and appreciation to all of those that fought in WWI. Lest we forget Thank you
