4.00Our guide was amazing and full of knowledge. Sadly I cannot say the same for Viator as a change of hotel for us to Mercure was acknowledged to us by them but not told to our guide. As a result she was left waiting outside the wrong hotel for 45 minutes before I called her.
The day was filled with exploring the many historic WW1 battlefield sites

5.00It was a very indepth look at the WW1 battlefields. I got to visit one of my two Great Great Uncles who were born in Western Australia and went to fight in France but never made it back home.

5.00Brigitte our guide was exceptional. Our tour took in the memorials and cemeteries of those who perished during the battles in the Somme area. The tour provides an understanding of the impact of these battles at the time and ongoing for both the French people of the region and the Allies. Sir John Monash Centre, a stunning building details the Australians trials during the battles and is a must visit.
An excellent tour
