Private & Bespoke Tours

Do you have a relative who fought in the Ypres Salient or a specific interest in a regiment or battle? 

Ypres Battlefield Tours also offer a bespoke tour service.

Using documents from the period we are able to put together a tour itinerary based on your requests exclusively for you and your tour party.

We are equipped with modern GPS mapping systems which allows us where possible to find specific locations where soldiers fought, fell and are commemorated.

​

' One of the most rewarding aspects of guiding in the Ypres Salient is being able to take families on a personal journey, seeing the areas their relative served in, being taken to the area where they fell and if possible to the grave site itself. 

Visiting the grave is a very personal and emotional experience for the families so i always make sure they are given personal space and reflection time at this part of the tour'
