The 2015 UNB Alumni Tour engaged Joel Stoppels for its tour of the Canadian Liberation campaign from Apeldoorn north to and including Groningen. Joel did an excellent job. He is knowledgeable, courteous and enthusiastic. He adjusted his tour to meet our needs, and added some elements that made it special. Highly recommended. Marc Milner, UNB History Department.
Joel provided us with one of the very best tours I have ever experienced. It was truly a day that I will never forget. My father and I travelled to Groningen, the city where my grandfather was fighting on the last days of WWII.
“My tour with Joel exceeded my expectations. He came prepared to guide us through an amazing experience. He brought accurate documentation, records and pictures. He was articulate, intelligent and well informed. I would highly recommend Joel!”
Dr. Patrick Sherlock
“We requested a private tour in English (get more people if you want to share the cost), and Joel walked us through the neighbourhoods following the routes of the Canadians through the Northern part of the city, ending at the Provincial house where the German commander finally surrendered after 4 days. Joel took the time to explain, answer questions, and point out features still visible today. Very knowledgeable”

75 Years after WWII
Despite the current crisis, it is still important to commemorate and remember the end of the Second World War in a dignified and interconnected way. At Battlefield Tours, we also want to reflect on 75 years of freedom and that is why we have decided to organize a number of online presentations through YouTube and Facebook.
