Michael was a very knowledgeable guide. We were lucky to have him for a private tour for the day. We learned so much about WW1 and the area .He is an exceptional guide and we would recommend him to anyone.

Michael is an amazing tour guide and a delightful man. He is tremendously knowledgeable about WW1. We went to just the right number sites on our day long tour and had stops at the perfect time and place. One spot even had original trenches on the site with a museum-like artifact collection. Fabulous time!

We took this tour with Michael last summer and I still think about it often 6 months later, we didn't know what to expect going into it but I literally cannot imagine a better tour guide then this wonderful gentleman. Not only is he knowledgeable about the area and the events that happened, but he is deeply passionate about the history and what has happened since. Everywhere we went people knew him and we're happy to see him, and he brought us to places we would have never been able to find on our own. Not to mention his incredible knowledge of the plants of the region! I learned so much on this trip and it remains an extremely fond memory that I will surely keep my whole life, I cannot recommend it enough!

Michael Smith is an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and a nice guy. I really love seeing and walking in the trenches in "Ocean Villas", and the recreation in the Tommy Cafe.

My wife and I travel 4 or 5 months a year worldwide and we always use tour guides. I went solo because my wife wasn't that interested in the subject. Michael Smith was the best. Great day, great stories, great company. His subject knowledge was exceptional. I would plan a tour around his availability

Powerful reminder of the service given by others. Lest we forget. Invaluable experience, and guided on this journey by Michael who augmented the experience in a respectful and honouring way.

Can’t thank Michael enough for making my first trip to the Somme so meaningful and unforgettable. He adapted the day to suit my family’s history and he allowed for some extended reflecting time near the site my great grandfather was injured. His passion and expertise is something special. Thanks Michael!

Michael Smith was a marvellous tour guide, very knowledgeable and able to adapt to the needs of the customer. I particularly enjoyed the Australian memorials, the drive through the Somme and the Wellington Quarry with associated tunnels in Arras.

We had a wonderful day exploring the Somme battlefields and sights with our guide Michael. It was moving, fascinating and important. Michael crafted a tour with an Australian focus for us and we thoroughly enjoyed his friendly and informative company. We got to see beautiful countryside we wouldn’t otherwise have seen, as well as many significant WWI sights, museums and monuments. The tour was a highlight of our trip.

My guide Michael was knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly. He went out of his way to ensure that I had an excellent day and was able to see as much as possible (I only had one day to see the Somme battlefields and the Church in Amiens!).
