Travelmakers are proud to offer these comprehensive, fully guided package tours to Ypres and the Somme battlefields.

Included in these tours are collection and return to LilleEuro station, bed & breakfast accommodation at our guides guesthouse, fully guided tours, lunch on full days, admission fees and a daily trip each evening into Ypres to witness a moving ceremony of the last post at the Menin Gate.

As our guides use their own guesthouse for accommodation, there are fewer time constraints placed on daily tours. They will supply you with as much information as possible and equip you with plans, maps and ‘then and now’ photographs where possible. They can also research Battalion and Divisional actions before your visit and incorporate them into your tour if required. There is no charge for these services. Our intention is to make your tour a memorable and enjoyable experience.
