We read Trip Advisor reports about Nathan and his tour and decided to gamble on it based on the recommendation of a relative. We lost. We were left waiting at the hotel reception for 45mins before we asked the hotel receptionist to call Nathan. I'm not sure what actually transpired during the conversation, but we were told that he answered... More

We were unfortunate enough to get Nathan on a bad day, we learnt later that there are times when his behaviour is suspect. We were picked up on time, the van was clean but smelt of stale beer as did Nathan ! His behaviour towards the ladies in the group was unacceptable, constantly touching and making sexist remarks. He was... More

Nathan has a vast wealth of knowledge on WW1 and the Flanders region. We learned a great deal about WW1 from the EXPERIENCE he has put together. We saw much one day than we could have on our own. Nathan has weaved together a timeline of WW1 supported by quality museums, memorials, cemetaries, and other local Flanders sights. I was... More

I have only positive comments for the way Nathan managed our trip from Bruges to and around the Flanders battlefield. He was probably over respectfull when we first met,(maybe that was a legacy of a recent poor review, which I cannot comprehend), but once he could see that we did not stand on ceremony he and we all relaxed and...

I'm absolutely staggered at the recent negative review about this guide and i'm perplexed. A nicer bloke you couldn't wish too meet. Polite and professional in the extreme. Are we talking about the same chap here i wonder? This guy knew his stuff and believe me you won't be dissapointed. At worst he has some eccentricity but rude and drunk?... More

Nathan was knowledgeable and passionate about his subject. Very interesting. Well worth it. He caters it to his guests somewhat – we’re Canadian, and there were Brits and Yanks on board, so he hit all of our highlights. I brought some good Scotch and shared it with my namesakes in the graveyard – boys must be thirsty after all these... More

We booked for this before leaving Australia and had email confirming booking. Important place for Aus visitors. Waited at hotel but no one turned up. They had contact phone numbers. Very poor given we travelled half way round world for this. Recommend you try someone else. Bloody poor effort!! More

What a horrible experience.. From the moment that I got into the people carrier, Nathan was rude... the smell from the previous nights alchol intake was nauseous... Lets start at the beginning, he was rude, unhelpful and not forthcoming about any historical information. After driving erractically we eventually made it to the museum where the group discussed the smell of... More

I was amused by the recent review of so-called nature lover from midwest usa - he was obviously experiencing a very bad hair day. My wife and I went on tour last with Nathan - splendid organisation and delivery throughout the day. Picked up in front of hotel, driven around all day and tour filled with anecdotes and explanations, not... More
