点评:My fiancée and I booked this tour with very little WW1 knowledge and an expectation of being crammed on a bus full of people.
What we experienced absolutely blew our expectations out of the water. We’ve reminisced and discussed this tour days/weeks later even whilst still travelling around Europe.
Jonas is so passionate about the Great War and his expertise and experience is unparalleled. I can’t speak higher of Jonas and the tour we took, he took just the two of us through Menin Gate and not just a quick drive by but an in depth walk around the monument in thorough detail. He took us to cathedral ruins in Ypres which were honestly breathtaking and not something a solo traveller would be able to locate, he took us to multiple cemeteries, Flanders Fields War Museum, the Brothers in Arms statue, he drove us all around the Hills and explained how the landscape impacted the war efforts. He took us to a private workshop where a man named Jan crates the most magnificent artwork using the remnants of artillery and trench foundations. This was an extremely personalised tour, with just the three of us we were able to ask questions and engage far more.
I won’t forget this experience and can attest to it being worth every penny!
翻译:我和未婚妻预订这次旅行时对一战知之甚少,原本以为会像坐大巴一样挤在一起。
但实际体验却远远超出了我们的预期。即便在欧洲旅行期间,几天甚至几周后,我们仍然会回味和讨论这次旅行。
乔纳斯对一战充满热情,他的专业知识和经验无人能及。我对乔纳斯和我们参加的这次旅行赞不绝口。他亲自带我们两人参观了梅宁门,并非只是匆匆一瞥,而是带领我们深入细致地参观了这座纪念碑。他还带我们去了伊普尔的大教堂遗址,那里景色令人叹为观止,独自旅行者很难找到。他带我们参观了多个墓地、弗兰德斯战场博物馆、兄弟连雕像,并开车带我们游览了山丘,讲解了地形地貌如何影响战争进程。他带我们去了一家私人工作室,一位名叫扬的工匠用残存的火炮和战壕地基制作出精美绝伦的艺术品。这是一次非常个性化的参观,只有我们三个人,所以我们能够提出问题,并进行更深入的交流。
我永远不会忘记这次经历,而且我可以作证,绝对物超所值!
