Brilliant battlefield tour - From the moment we were picked up at our accommodation by our guide Brigitte we knew that we were in for a most amazing day. Brigitte made us feel like we were old friends upon meeting us. Whilst driving to the Cathedral of Amiens she outlined what our itinerary for the day would be. The highlight for me was the Sir John Monash Centre where I could have spent all day. The interactive displays were fantastic and gave a brilliant insight to what the soldiers felt and endured during the war. Brigitte is a brilliant and well researched guide who answered any and all questions we had regarding the Australian battles in the Somme. I could not recommend her more highly as she is exceptional guide.

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.
