Exploring the Somme with Alison Haslock

5.00Our guide, Alison, tailored the day according to how we wished and combined our family specific part with as many of the main monuments as we could fit in during the day. She has years of experience and had researched in advance our family perspective. At the end of the day we were absolutely blown away with what we had seen and would like our thanks to Alison to go on record and to recommend her tour to all who have an interest in the Somme.

5.00Everything was so memorable! Alison was an absolute Gem of a guide. The breadth of knowledge she had really took our breath away with places we went to and so easily given to us. Even to the smallest of things she thought would be of interest to us. You truly have a wonderful guide in your employ.
Great way to learn about the stories of WW1
