Traveller reviews
This was an excellent experience - I have always been interested in the terrible battles of the Somme, but this was my first visit here. Sylvestre was an entertaining, curious and erudite guide who was able to make the events of the battle, particularly the AIF at Pozieres, clear to me. To be able to understand the overall geography and the specific terrain over which the battles were fought was very important to me and Sylvestre was able to do it with aplomb. Lunch in Albert was excellent as well. Overall, a moving experience.
Our guide Sylvestre was excellent he had so much knowledge about the history and tragedy that occurred in the area, it was a sombre and humbling experience. We visited Somme Beaumont-Hamel preserved battlefield, The Thiepval memorial to the missing, Pozieres Australian monument, The Lochnagar mine crater, Villers Bretonneux Australian Memorial, The Sir John Monash Visitor Centre which was excellent and highlight of the visit to learn more. We went to local french cafe for lunch which as great. Everything was perfect from communication to ease of booking, modern comfortable van and getting the TGV train from Paris we also had time to do a quick tour of Arras town centre. Highly recommend booking on any of his tours
Our guide, Sylvestre, made this tour so enjoyable and educational. His easy manner, knowledge of the WW1 history and sense of humour made our trip to Amiens and nearby a highlight of our holiday.
We had a great informative day with Sylvestre. Really enthusiastic guy & we don't know how he has done this for so long!
Friendly, relaxed, informative, flexible and punctual. Sylvester is a most experienced tour guide. I asked if he could possibly find a fallen soldier in a given cemetery without much notice and he got us there with ease. It made my/our day! Brilliant
An excellent three day tour of northern France / Flanders battlefields. Sylvestre was engaging, deeply knowledgeable, speaks excellent English, and paced my day trips perfectly. Gaining more perspective than just the Anglo-Australian view of WW1 was a highlight. Strongly recommended.
Fantastic lifetime experience with Sylvestre our great guide with so much knowledge. Very friendly. Beautiful clean vehicle. This tour ticked all our boxes, highly recommended.
Bridgette our guide had excellent knowledge of the Australian involvement on the Somme WWI. The tour lasted 9 hours
