Shared Tour: Flanders Fields - WWI Remembrance Tour
Step into history on an unforgettable full-day tour of Flanders Fields, where the stories of World War I come vividly to life. Walk along preserved trenches, stand before the stirring Monument of the Brooding Soldier, and feel the emotion at Tyne Cot Cemetery, the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the world. Visit the award-winning In Flanders Fields Museum in Ypres, where powerful exhibits reveal the human side of the Great War. Explore Hill 60, a battleground shaped by daring underground operations, and see Essex Farm, where the famous poem “In Flanders Fields” was written. Along the way, expert commentary reveals the courage, sacrifice, and resilience that shaped these landscapes.
The experience culminates with the hauntingly beautiful Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate, a daily tribute to the fallen. This is more than a tour; it’s a deeply moving journey through history you will never forget.
