Guided battlefield tour
Three days World War One trip - Ypres
The three day guided battlefield tours are usually out on a Friday morning and back on a Sunday evening.You will be accompanied by an experienced and knowledgeable guide with a wealth of stories about the people's heroic deeds and devastating blunders.
This town became infamous in World War One for its four year defence against the invading Germans.The British troops fighting here knew the town as "Wipers".
Nowadays a beautiful place,but in those days it was hell on earth.The town was completely flattened by artillery fire but as you stroll around,it is hard to believe this, as the town has been reconstructed and the buildings look as if they have been there for centuries.
