“We were very ably guided by Diedrick who was extremely knowledgeable on all things WW1. We enjoyed a lovely ploughman’s lunch included in our tour and our highlights were Tyne Cot Cemetery and the last post ceremony at Menin Gates. Highly recommended not only for history enthusiasts, but also those with an interest in where family members risked their lives for our freedoms. Inspirational, particularly for our teenage daughter.”
