A primer on WW I.

The Somme battlefields tour provides an excellent background of the start of WW I and the early trench warfare in NW France before the Americans entered the war. It includes war cemeteries, an excellent Australian war museum, and a visit to Amiens Cathedral.

Fabulous Tour with Aussie flavour.

This was a comprehensive tour of the area. As Aussies it was great to see so many sites that feature in the history of Australia’s participation in WW1. The focus on the Commonwealth was of interest to us. Phillipe, our guide was fabulous! He was warm, friendly and knowledgeable with a delightful sense of humour.

Somme Tour Review

I would thoroughly recommend this tour, it was honestly one of the best days of my whole trip! My tour guide Chris was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He was also happy to go off script based on what I was interested in and we managed to sneak in some extra sites beyond the usual stops, which was great! Beaumont-Hamel was a real highlight. It was so well preserved and genuinely moving. We also stopped at Delville Wood, which isn’t normally part of the tour, but it ended up being one of the moments that stuck with me the most. The tour itself was brilliant, but a big part of what made the day so special was Chris’s genuine passion for the history, it really came through and made the whole experience feel personal. If you’re after a guide who knows his stuff and truly cares about what he does, I’d thoroughly recommend this tour and Chris.
