This tour was fantastic. My wife and I were the only ones on the tour with guide. He was so knowledgable and pleasant. He tailored the tour to our wants, given that we are both Canadian. Took us to some very unique, of the beaten path places which really showed he enjoyed what he did. Highly recommended.

We had a morning trip in mid november. We were lucky to only have our family on the trip as it wasn't fully booked. Andre was very informative and helpful. He was flexible with where we went and happy to take us to exactly where we wanted to go to find out more about the battle our great grandfather had... More

the men who had to go "over the top" did so with courage and desperation, to use this evocative phrase to elicit a profit just offends me.

My husband and I took the Somme tour during our trip and I have to say that the guide Andre gets an excellent rating. I have never been on a tour with a guide more knowledgeable about World War I. The reason this company isn't getting an excellent rating this time around is because I agree that the pricing practices... More

With only one day to spend in Ypres, Belgium, my military husband and I wanted to see as many of the Canadian World War I sites as possible. I contacted several tour companies in the town requesting a private tour of the Canadian sites and came to an agreement with Andre at Over the Top Tours and paid a deposit.... More

My wife and I did the morning tour with Andre, he was very friendly and put everyone at ease immediately at the beginning of the tour with light comments at the right moment. His knowledge of the area is second to none and he gave everyone on the tour the right amount of private time to contemplate just what it... More

We enjoyed our tour of the battlefields around Ypres, Andre was a very informative guide and without him the battlefields would have just been fields! Even the dreadful weather helped to add authenticity to the tour, we particularly enjoyed the preserved trenches.

We booked this tour on the day at the shop next to the Menim gate. Initially we were overcharged by €80, but that was eventually sorted out. The tour was reasonably informative, and the guide was knowledgable. My main issue was with the final stop at "hill 62", (not Hill 60), which is a private museum, so we had to... More
