Best Battlefields Tour with the Amazing Brigitte. - Brigitte was the most amazing host from start to finish. We had let Bridgette know where our relatives were and other areas of interest, Brigitte had also done homework, so the day was full of amazing experiences, no time wasted researching as we go. Brigittes knowledge of the war history and grave locations is outstanding. We did a private tour and felt it was extremely good value for money.

Fantastic battlefield (bucket list) tour - Although very sad to hear all the stories, it was a bucket list tour for us. My husband had relatives who fought in the war, Bridgette was fantastic in finding the information for us. It was a full day starting with a pickup at our hotel, and first stop at the cathedral. Bridgette’s knowledge is second to none, I could write pages on what we did. The drive through the villages, all the photo stops, there is too much to mention. Just do this tour, you won’t regret it. Thank you so much Brigitte. All the best.

Absolutely amazing day.... - Absolutely amazing day. Brigitte was an incredible tour guide with such useful local knowledge. Also very delightful to spend a day with her. We saw all of the important sights and wouldn’t have been able to do anything close to this by ourselves if we had hired a car. Would one hundred percent recommend.

So knowledgeable about WW1 and the Somme - Brigitte was wonderful, so knowledgeable about the war and the region, and helpful in finding details of our relative who died here in WW1. Her vehicle was very comfortable and we covered a lot of very significant sites. She tailored the day according to what we were interested in and our time frame. Highly recommended.

Lest we forget. - Brigtite shared her passion and profound knowledge of the conflict in all the areas of the Somme battlefields that we visited. Jenny’s great uncle died of wounds as a very young man following previous injuries at Gallipoli and with her guidance and support we were able to visit his grave. As far as we are aware Jenny was the first family member to achieve this. Our tour was memorable and emotionally significant, Jenny and Martyn Baker
