Western Front - Somme

Michael_E, May 2026

Wow! We were treated to a masterclass in WWI history today, delivered by the incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable Alison. Our tour was thoughtfully tailored to our interests, focusing on Australia’s involvement and battles during the WW1. Alison provided balanced insights and engaging discussions that considered all perspectives, making the experience both informative and deeply thought-provoking. The entire day was personalised to our wishes, and nothing felt rushed or generic. We would highly recommend Alison to anyone seeking an unforgettable and meaningful experience exploring the Western Front battlefields. Amazing experience — thank you again, Alison! ⸻

I never know how to respond to such fantastic feedback other than thank you. I love what I do and to know it is working really does mean a lot to me Thank you

Very informative tour of the Somme

Lisa_N, Sep 2025

If you want a detailed explanation of WW1 on the Somme, then this tour is a must. Our guide John has a lot of knowledge of the war and he researches family members and shares the details with you, if you want them.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Very much appreciate your five star review. Thank you from both of us All the best Alison

Exceptional Tour of Somme Battlefield sites

Christine_C, Jun 2025

Whilst we were interested in Australian focus we asked for & were provided with balanced perspective of all nations involved, including Germany. Tour educated on the scope of the engagement & we were shocked by how many lives were lost in fighting over such a small region of farmland. Monash Centre a must see. Thank you Alison for your insights & factual analysis.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for your company and very kind review is has been much appreciated Alison

This is a confronting but...

Patricia_U, Oct 2024

This is a confronting but important learning experience for anyone. For an Australian it is especially so…. Alison is warm, well informed, patient and flexible. She knows the facts but also understands the importance and complexity of context and is able to reflect on its impact. Alison researched our young neighbour who died at Pozieres in 1916. That was incredibly important for us and for others in our inner urban Melbourne village. We were able to lay a small posy where his name is recorded. He has no known grave…. Merci beaucoup Alison for a day we will never forget. Highly recommended…

Thank you so much for this review, it was lovely to spend time with you both very much appreciated

A pilgrimage to honour my grandfather

AnneMaree_L, Oct 2024

Alison has great knowledge and is a very personable guide. We learnt so much and we visited many sites.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you so much for the kind review, much appreciated

Couldn't have asked for a better guide. Excellent

Danielle_G, Sep 2024

Allison was amazing, her knowledge of the area and histoical events was excellent. Allison had researched my great uncle Micheal Quinn and worked the tour around the Australian soldiers and where Michael had served. We could not have asked for more.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thanks for these very kind comments, it was a pleasure working with you

Great experience with a knowledgeable and fun guide

Matthew_P, Aug 2024

We had a great time with Alison. She is incredibly knowledgeable and very accommodating, happy to inform and answer questions as she goes. We loved how down to earth yet expert she is, and she clearly designed our tour around our own cultural interests. Brava! We cannot recommend her more highly ... thank you for a wonderful, informative, absorbing day!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you so much for the lovely comments they are very much appreciated. It is having customers like yourselves that make our tours special to us.

DENISE_C, Jul 2024

Brilliant and informative tour. We were able to visit our great uncles grave and Alison our guide was amazing.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you very much for the review, I really enjoyed your company as well

A must do tour

Jonathan_C, Jul 2024

This tour is a must do if you are intending on visiting the area. John's knowledge and understanding of the events that happened in this area during WWI (and before) is second to none. He was able to explain and add context to the battlefields and events. He was more than accommodating and flexible in where we went. He also did research on a personal family level and answered some questions we had about the service of my grandfather here. Thanks John for a great tour and day.
