Great battlefield tour - This was a great tour visiting some interesting places around the Somme. Aaron was such a good guide, very knowledgeable and very professional. He was able to offer (military background) some info regarding my wife's grandfathers WW1 experience and even added a quick stop at the 1st Australian Division memorial in Pozieres where he served. Thanks so much!

A trip back in time to WW1 is a must! - This is a wonderful excursion to really understand The Great War! And with Julian and the small group is just perfect! It is a very long day, but one can really grasp the realities of trench warfare and the harshness of the conditions that these men endured! Highly recommend this tour!

Excellent - Excellent day tour to the Somme. Olivier had excellent knowledge of the area and history of WW1 & II. Our small group enjoyed the interaction and learning about the Australian involvement from a French perspective. The John Monash Centre was outstanding. Thanks Olivier for an unforgettable day!

Somme Tour - This was the best tour my wife and I did throughout all of our honeymoon! I can't remember the name of our tour guide I had on October 27th but she was the best! She was so knowledgable about the battles and the ear. She was spectacular, She took her time explaining and gave us as much time as we needed to enjoy each POI. She seriously is the best and had the best attitude when it came to anything, very easy going. 5 stars! I would give more if I had the opportunity!
