Ypres WWI Tour - In the Footsteps of a Soldier

About this activity

Follow One Soldier’s Journey Through the Ypres Salient

Step into the First World War through the eyes of a single soldier.

On this intimate tour we trace the real path of one man who fought in and around Ypres. We visit the actual places where he served, endured the fighting, and ultimately fell. The tour ends at his final resting place, where his story reaches its quiet conclusion.

Along the way we visit some of Ypres most meaningfull monuments, real trenches and battlefields.
