The best - The whole trip was a blast. Comfortable van to taxi us around in with a great view of the landscape and countryside of northern France. Matthew was an amazing guide who was also so helpful to answer any of our questions. He was incredibly friendly and approachable. He was very knowledgeable about WW1 too. He made a great trip 10 times better, thank you very much Matthew if you’re reading this. 10/10 would recommend to all.

Take a journey back to WW1 on the Somme. - This was an amazing experience. Our guide Olivier led us clearly through 2 major battles on the Somme. He definitely had a love for the history and the ability to take his audience on a journey as we visited key places and he told us the reasons each was important. The final destination was the Sir John Monash Centre which is a must visit for Australians who want to gain a deeper understanding of the important role our troops played in WW1.

A must do tour while in France if you are interested in war history. - We had a wonderful time with Oli, our tour guide. The experience was made even better when Oli helped us find our great uncles grave site. We would do this tour again.

Unforgettable history tour experience - Sara was an incredible tour guide. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable and insightful, but she was great company. She knew how to tailor the experience to my interest and continuously had conversation topics to discuss. This tour exceeded my expectations.

Excellent tour of the Somme battlefield sites. - The tour visited some of the most significant sites of the Somme area. It was well paced, and informative. A highlight, which was not military, was Amiens cathedral. As Australians, we were particularly pleased to visit Villers-Bretonneux, and really impressed with the Sir John Monash centre: an appropriate finale!
