We stop at a very moving German Cemetery, from where we drive to a section of the WW1 trenches. We will then visit the Monument of the Brooding Soldier. After a short lunch break, we leave for Flanders Fields, which was one of the major battlegrounds in the First World War. Our expert guide will help you throughout the visit to understand the events that led to the First World War and how the catastrophe developed. We take you to the Passchendaele battlefield and the Tyne Cot Cemetery, the largest Commonwealth cemetery in the world, where British, Australian, and Canadian soldiers lie at rest. You visit the Monument of the ‘Brooding Soldier’ and Essex Farm. At 8 pm, you attend the Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate, a daily tribute to all Commonwealth soldiers and officers who were missing after battle.
