Exceeded our expectations! Family of four, two sons (19 & 22). We imagined that the places to visit would speak for themselves with the emotions and they didn’t fail BUT the knowledge of our guide (Sabina) and how she blended into our family dynamic made the tour much more personal (family history delving was such a memorable touch) and enjoyable. She clearly knows and loves her history.

I did this tour with my friend and her children. Our children were aged range from 10 to 6 years old. He was very patient with the children and gave them a fun tour with lots of facts. He went to our pace as well, which was very helpful.
Exceptional!

Soren was an exceptional guide. His interest in the topic come across as he weaves the facts of this horrific time with stories that enabled us to understand both the events and personal toll. He readily handled our questions and went over-and-above to research my ancestors who were in WWI. I came in with no knowledge and left with a deeper understanding of these battle. I would give Soren 10 out of 5 stars if I could.
An amazing tour

An amazing tour and would highly recommend. It was educational & emotional enhanced by our knowledgable tour guide Søren. He got in touch prior to the trip and researched my husband’s family history, ensuring that on the day my husband virtually walked in his grandfather’s footsteps. Thank you so much. It was a fabulous day.
