The Ypres and WWI Battle Fields semi-private package tours

We will explore this area where a dramatic period of history took place, where the armies of many nations served. "In the salient, Ypres has become particularly associated with commonwealth forces who were here continuously from October 1914 to the end of the war [...] By the time the last shells fell on Ypres in October 1918, the Salient had claimed 185,000 Commonwealth lives".
Your first stop will be in Fromelle then you will be driven to discover the Ypres Salient and its major sites (memorials, cemeteries and traces of battles): John McRae's Essex Farm site; Langemark (German cemetery); Vancouver Corner (Canadian Memorial); Tyne Cot cemetery (Passchendaele).
