What you can expect

For many visitors, the Salient is not history it is family. If you have an ancestor who served or fell in Flanders, this private tour is built entirely around them. Tell us a name, a regiment or a service number, and before you arrive we research their storey: where they fought, where they were wounded, where they are buried or remembered.
On the day, we drive you to those places: the cemetery, the memorial, the patch of ground where it happened and we tell you what we have found. For families who have carried a name for a hundred years, standing in the exact spot is something no museum can give. Choose a half-day for one focused storey, or a full day to follow a longer service. Pre-tour research is included.
