3.00The guide (Marie) was knowledgeable and friendly. The interests of the guide group were considered. The experience was made so much more enjoyable due to her skill and consideration. The day was blighted by the size of the bus. I felt cramped and uncomfortable. Being in a cramped bus for 12 hours detracted from the experience.

5.00It is a long day but well worth the experience. If you do this tour in winter, (December 2024), be well prepared for the cold and rain, we thought we were, but our Australian winter clothing was no match for a Somme winter. Our driver/tour guide was very good and was well versed in all aspects of the area. Plenty of stops along the way for toilet breaks and refreshments. It was amazing just how well the area has survived nearly 110 years, with bomb craters and trenches still there. The war graves and memorials are a just next level in showing respect for the fallen. Highly recommend this tour.
I’m sure the tour would...

1.00I’m sure the tour would have been amazing but disappointingly ours was cancelled at the last minute after we and others on the tour had already arrived at the meeting point. Unsure why the driver didn’t show but no replacement could be found so the tour was cancelled. Unfortunately this was the only day that we were able to do the tour.
Well worth doing
