At the village of Passchendaele and the vast Tyne Cot Cemetery, discover the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the world.

Throughout the tour, your Canadian guide will share the stories of the men who served here, placing their experiences within the wider history of the Ypres Salient.

The day concludes in the magnificent Ypres square with free time for supper, culminating beneath the Menin Gate in Ypres for the Last Post Ceremony, a nightly act of remembrance honoring the soldiers of the British Empire and Commonwealth who died in the Salient and have no known grave.
