Great experience with a knowledgeable and fun guide

Matthew_P, Dec 2024

We had a great time with Alison.

She is incredibly knowledgeable and very accommodating, happy to inform and answer questions as she goes. We loved how down to earth yet expert she is, and she clearly designed our tour around our own cultural interests.

Brava!

We cannot recommend her more highly ... thank you for a wonderful, informative, absorbing day!

A must do tour

Jonathan_C, Dec 2024

This tour is a must do if you are intending on visiting the area. John's knowledge and understanding of the events that happened in this area during WWI (and before) is second to none. He was able to explain and add context to the battlefields and events. He was more than accommodating and flexible in where we went. He also did research on a personal family level and answered some questions we had about the service of my grandfather here. Thanks John for a great tour and day.
