Friendly, 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

An 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.

We were able to see my Great Uncle’s grave and see the approximate battlefield where he died. The visit to the German cemetery was solemn. We had not considered the German war grave situation previously. Sylvester was a fantastic guide and was very helpful finding my relative.

This was one of the best tours we have done in France. Our guide Sylvester was excellent in his knowledge of the towns we visited and the battles that had occurred there. I would recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in Australia’s WWI history!

We had a full day tour with Sylvester. It was great. He had detailed knowledge on all aspects and could answer any question we had in a professional way. He had a perfect mix of professionalism and respect for the work he was doing. We totally enjoyed our day, and left both better educated and deeply moved.

I would highly recommend this tour with Sylvestre. We came from Australia to see the battlefields. The private tour was everything we had hoped for and more. Sylvestre was knowledgeable and helpful and let us move around at our own pace. Went to Albert for lunch which was great as well. Feel very lucky to have experienced this tour .
