Julian, our guide, seemed very knowledgeable about the several WWI sites we visited. It was a full day of history, and well worth the price.

Colin_C, Dec 2024
A great day in the Somme.
Our guide was very informative and did his best to show us all the important sites.
Maybe we could have more time in some areas but then it would make the day even longer ….we saw all the important sites. A long day but worthwhile.
