5.00Our guide Sylvestre was excellent he had so much knowledge about the history and tragedy that occurred in the area, it was a sombre and humbling experience. We visited Somme Beaumont-Hamel preserved battlefield, The Thiepval memorial to the missing, Pozieres Australian monument, The Lochnagar mine crater, Villers Bretonneux Australian Memorial, The Sir John Monash Visitor Centre which was excellent and highlight of the visit to learn more. We went to local french cafe for lunch which as great. Everything was perfect from communication to ease of booking, modern comfortable van and getting the TGV train from Paris we also had time to do a quick tour of Arras town centre. Highly recommend booking on any of his tours

5.00Friendly, relaxed, informative, flexible and punctual. Sylvester is a most experienced tour guide. I asked if he could possibly find a fallen soldier in a given cemetery without much notice and he got us there with ease. It made my/our day! Brilliant

5.00An excellent three day tour of northern France / Flanders battlefields. Sylvestre was engaging, deeply knowledgeable, speaks excellent English, and paced my day trips perfectly. Gaining more perspective than just the Anglo-Australian view of WW1 was a highlight. Strongly recommended.
