My husband and I would like to have a private tour operator give just the two of us a tour of the Flanders Fields sites near Ypres in a car/van rather than going with a group on a bus. Can anyone recommend someone? I see someone named Jacques gave a tour for a RS Tour but how would I get ahold of him?

Susan,
I've been on a RS tour in that area and have taken a tour with Jacques, and he is indeed an outstanding guide!!! It's difficult to know what superlatives to use to describe his tours! I believe the link provided in the previous reply is the correct one for contacting him.
There's LOTS of history in that area and Jacques will provide a good overview, including the story of John McCrae. If possible, try to visit the Tynecot Cemetery (the largest Commonwealth cemetery in the world).
