Fantastic Tour Of The Somme

This is a fantastic tour of The Somme. Our guide Regis shared a wealth of knowledge about the war in the villages and battlefields. To see where the soldiers were and conditions they faced is hard to describe. We also went to sites that are overlooked on other tours. I highly recommend this tour.

Know before you go

The memorial and cemetery are outside, so dress for the weather.
The Australian National Memorial and Franco-Australian Museum are accessible to wheelchairs, but not all WWI-related sites are. Confirm beforehand.
