Best guided tour - ever. - The guide was amazing. His knowledge was very broad, and his interest in discussing WW1 topics was phenomenal. He was kind enough to come pick us up at the apartment we had rented in Verdun and the tour lasted 8+ hours. We visited around 9 different locations, and this was so much inspiration that we could have spent the next 3 days revisiting a lot of those places. Our impression was that you can get the tour adjusted to the pace you need. We wanted to see as much as possible, so that is what we got. But with the guide's knowledge, you can easily spend more time at each site.

Gwendal is the man! - Amazing tour! Gwendal was incredibly knowledgeable on all facets of Verdun and clearly painted the picture of the battlefield. We would have loved to take his Champagne tour as well, but just ran out of time. We will definitely return! Highlight recommend!

Excellent Tour of Verdun - Our guide was excellent, both in arranging the logistics of the tour and applying his historical knowledge of the Battle of Verdun. I highly recommend this tour for those interested in the period. You will walk away with an appreciation of the events and their impact on both the French and the Germans that really only be gained by seeing the ground. Here are a couple of notes: The TGV ride from Paris to the Champagne-Ardennes Station is about 40 minutes. The ride from the station to Verdun adds an hour and a half each way…so travel time from and back to Paris consumes a bit over 4 hours of the day. This means that the time in Verdun is short enough that you cannot see everything that is available. For example, we were able to explore Fort Douamont but did not get to see Ft. Vaux.

Informative, entertaining, well planned itinerary! - We loved our tour! Guide was incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining, and friendly. The sites chosen told the story of the battle with snapshots of different perspectives and points in time, and the day felt well planned and timed. Lunch at the museum was delicious with plenty of options, and the drive to/from the train station and between sites was comfortable. Was a highlight of our trip and would 10/10 recommend for history buffs and novices alike!

Verdun tour which exceeded all expectations. - Gwendal Roger's tour is highly recommended because of his knowledge of the culture and language as well as his passion and knowledge of the rich cultural heritage of Verdun, and the historical significance of WWI. His language skill set, comprehensive knowledge of the historical sights, passion and patience brought out the best of the city. He shared many interesting anecdotes. His tour exceeded all expectations.

Superb excursion for the history buff - My son and I took this historical tour in July 2024. This was the best guided tour experiences I've ever had. If you're a WW I history buff and you find yourself in Champagne region, you can't miss it. The guide gave us a really good overview of the context of the battle at first while we were standing atop one of the famous fortifications, which is an experience you just can't get from books. Then we visited the remaining remaining forts where we heard the details of the soldiers' lives, how they fought and died in this place during one of the world's most horrific battles. The tour was provided by a history teacher who brought this period to life for us. We got so much more out of this than just visiting the memorial on our own. This all-day excursion was done in a luxurious manner from beginning to end, with pick up and drop off at our hotel in Reims. Prepare to be amazed.

Great tour - Great private tour. Best way to see the battlefield is to get a local guide. They took care of us all the way and made sure we got on the right train to Paris.

Fulfilling and interesting day - Our guide was quite knowledgeable and really enhanced everything that we say. It was a fulfilling and interesting day.

A fantastic way to learn more about this battle - The encyclopedic knowledge of our guide-Gwyn was amazing! We saw so many sites, and learned so much.

A once in a lifetime experience - Fabulous experience, Gwendolyn was superb guide, really let us experience the battlefield to the fullest, his knowledge, patience, initiative in maximizing our Verdun time and still getting us to our train on time was impressive
