Brigitte knows her Aussie history on the Battlefields! - The guide is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the battlefields but was able to explain the Aussie contribution deeply and with so much information! I had a family member who I had pre-written to Brigitte about, and she had done her homework and was able to add details to my family history. Forever grateful. Was very kind to me with suggestions for my time further north in Flanders Fields, Belgium.

This was really... - This was really enlightening. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Our guide was very good and really know the history of the Australian forces in France during WWI and their legacy. I learnt some things from her. Her attention to details was extraordinary, down to messaging me beforehand to find out if I had any relatives that fought there so she could research and be prepared.

I really enjoyed the tour... - I really enjoyed the tour with Brigitte. Brigitte is a mine of information and welcomed all questions and enquiries. The bigger picture of the different battles was described and then focus was brought back down to the level of the human beings who experienced it all. Brigitte was very helpful and helped dig up some extra information on my own relative who served. I would recommend the tour to everyone!

An Awesome Day with Brigitte - Brigitte was fantastic. Her in depth knowledge of the area and amazing stories made this full day tour one not to miss. Although the Monash centre was closed, our day was full of relevant and thought provoking stops. Our lunch at a local bar was tasty, and Fred was a great host. I would definitely recommend this tour.

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.
