Excellent. Not to be missed. “Lest we forget “ Our guide Olivier was extremely knowledgeable. He had historical maps of the battlefield on the cars GPS System and as we drove through the countryside we discussed and could visualize how the front lines of the battles progressed over time.

What an amazing education on WW1. Our Guide, Olivier, knew the history well and focussed our tour on the Canadian involvement in the war, as we are from Canada. We could easily visualize, and were emotionally touched, by the battles that took place there. We particularly enjoy the Lunch stop at Le Tommy, which is a cafe and war museum with items that you could touch. The Canadian monument at Vimy Ridge was spectacular! Highly recommend.
