What a fantastic two days, Jacques is brilliant. I'm not sure who enjoyed the two days more, him or us, He puts everything you see on the BBC Discovery or History Channel into context. I could comfortably sail through A level History after this, Jacques is a top quality guide, enthusiastic, very knowledgeable and affable. He speaks better English than... More

Our day tour to the Fromelles battlefield and the Ypres Salient met all our hopes and expectations. Our itinerary was structured around research which had been done by Battlefield Tours about the wartime experiences of my grandfather, and I really had a sense of following in his footsteps. Andres, our guide, was knowledgeable, passionate about his work, and flexible to... More

We've just had a fabulous tour of the Ieper salient. A very informative and well delivered itinerary. Our guide exuded passion and sensitivity which contributed to an interesting and emotive experience. Highly recommended.

Genevra (who is English) was very helpful having researched details of our relative's participation in the 3rd battle of Ypres and took us to significant points. She is very knowledgeable and was able to give us a running commentary all the way and was flexible in tailoring our itinerary on the day. She also took us up to Tyne Cot... More

Jacques and Genevra provided the two of us with an outstanding tour, made suggestions for our lodging and dining, and even booked our lodging. We couldn't have been more pleased with their personal kindnesses and with their patience in letting us take notes and pictures and proceed at our own pace. Their knowledge and attention to the details of the... More

Our guide was her partner, Jacques Ryckebosch, and what a guide he was. Our... More

This was the third time I visited the Ieper area and the FBT tour was by far the best I have ever gone on. Our guide Raoul was very accommodating and showed us around a plethora of locations where less than 100 years ago no tree was left standing and hundreds of thousands lost their life. It is surreal standing... More
