We booked our tour last minute on the day. From the very first moment, Chris was very informative and helpful. He guided me and my father through the battlefields of the WW1. He is not only very knowledgeable on the area but he is very sensitive about the subject. We thoroughly appreciated our half a day tour and we recommend... More

Dear Didem. What an honour to be offered the opportunity to guide your amazing father and yourself around the Ypres Salient battlefields. There was a lot of dust I believe in the air that day confirmed by the copious collective tears spilled that day. From a former soldier to another and to a most loving and dedicated daughter we thank... More

A weekend to remember in more ways than one. Chris & Milena are excellent hosts (as well as friends) in every way with nothing too much trouble. You ask and they know the answers, extremely knowledgable about the area and its turbulent history. As part of our visit, we were invited to lay a wreath at the Menin Gate evening... More

Just a quick message to thank Chris & Milena for a wonderful time during our stay in Flanders. We had 2 and a half days touring the battlefields with Chris which included some things not found on most tours with tours of actual frontlines, block houses, mine galleys and trench networks not just monuments and cemeteries. Chris is an excellent... More

Dea Craig and Sarah. It was indeed a pleasure and honour to guide you both around the battlefields. It was very clear to both myself and Milena that we would need to inject extra input not normally available due to your respectful requests and high level of enthusiasm. The days were long, testing and I was mentally shattered on conclusion... More

I have taken three tours with Chris over the years; two related to the First World War and one related to the Second (the retreat to Dunkirk). All have been well planned and thought out. Chris is an excellent guide who has the knack of bringing the events to life in a way that is informative and often moving. I... More

Hi Paul. This review coming from you of all people ensures we are delighted and honoured to receive your post. Your personal level of historical knowledge is way ahead of mine and to compete with you on a personal level would be folly. However, it is clear my personal level of knowledge, my battlefield intimacy along with my ability to... More

when my wife and I came to Ypres to find the grave sites of my relatives we had a basic understanding of `some `of the events in the Ypres Salient and of the battlefields where the New Zealanders fought . Our daughter had researched via the internet and booked a guide who happened to be Chris Lock - of Lest... More

Dear Neil and Kathy. Thank you for your kind and much appreciated review. Both myself and Milena can reveal the pleasure guiding you guys was entirely all ours. Without doubt we will be delighted to see you again and guide you around the battlefields. We recently attended yet another burial service concerning a fallen gallant Kiwi who was discovered at...

We went on our first battlefield tour with Chris Lock, last week. We are looking forward to our next one! I knew about the Great War from my Grandfather who used to tell me about his experiences when I was a child, I also learnt at school. However it never came to life for me before. Chris is a brilliant... More

We took our second tour with Chris last week and the experience was once again, something to remember. His knowledge of the battles, locations and experiences of the trench warfare are extensive. Chris uses all of the available tools to bring the experience to life and we greatly appreciated his research that ensure we visited the places where our (Aussie)... More
