Explore the Western Front with an Experienced Local WWI Battlefield Guide
I'm a British battlefield guide based in Ypres, Belgium, offering small-group and private First World War tours across the Western Front.
I love sharing the stories behind the battlefields and making the history feel personal. For private tours, I can also research your family's military history and, wherever possible, help you follow in their footsteps.
What my guests say
Choosing the right battlefield guide is an important part of any visit to the Western Front. I'm incredibly grateful to the many guests who have shared their experiences after touring with me.

"If I could give more than 6 stars I would. Kim was a very knowledgeable guide who brought out the experiences from the overall and the individual contexts. As a group of mixed nationalities she blended these into the narrative. We appreciated the small group size and the customised pickup and drop off."

"My wife and I had a tremendous day seeing the battlefields and learning the history from a passionate person, who made the story very easy to listen to and digest. Kim is a gifted giver of information and a great host driving us to all the relevant sites. She excelled from my first contact with her from Australia. She responded promptly and helped a novice like me plan the trip. A great day and thank you so much"

"Kim was an amazing tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and is really well suited to be doing this job. There were others on our tour, but it never felt rushed. we wholeheartedly would recommend Kim's tours."

"Kim is an absolutely excellent guide and cannot recommend highly enough. As someone who has learned extensively about the Western Front, she could even point out things that I didn’t know or fully realise. She is highly knowledgeable, speaks with great respect for the subject matter and her clients, but has massive enthusiasm for the subject and for her role. Her approach to guiding and knowledge sharing makes the experience of standing on these battlefields significantly more impactful for those with greater and lesser knowledge. We had the extreme good fortune to bump into Kim the following day at Essex Farm Cemetery. As if just to showcase her undiminished enthusiasm for the subject, she went out of her way to point us in the direction of some refugee bunkers that I didn’t know were on the site. I am also incredibly grateful for her offer to assist in tracing my own family’s war experience. In conclusion, I’ll definitely be booking more of her tours in future when I get the chance!

"We did all three of the local Ypres tours with Kim and all were excellent. As a guide, Kim is knowledgable, friendly and very passionate about the subject. She took the time to research my great granfathers history and included his story in our private tour. What sets these tours apart from others, is the talent Kim has of telling a story and relating it to the plights of just a few individuals which makes it all the more powerful."
