Amazing tour

So many to say, we are so happy that we did the tour this way we saw so much more than we would have if we had done it on our own. We liked how we were picked up at our hotel and driven around and John showed us so much more than we expected.
Our sons gave this to their Dad as his Fathers Day gift. It was the best gift ever.

The highlight of our vacation.

We had a wonderful tour guide in Alison. She was charming and very knowledgeable. Her insights were amazing and it made us feel we were right in the action. Vimy Ridge was of course our biggest highlight. It rained all day but we wouldn't have missed this tour for all the tea in China. Thanks Alison for a wonderful experience! K and N.

Arras WWI Tour.
Elizabeth_S, Dec 2024
Alison took us to the Commonwealth Cemetery offices/ shop where we had a tour and explanation of the design, headstone making and gardening details of cemeteries in France. It was very informative. Our highlight was Vimy Ridge, which was exhilarating. Somewhere we have wanted to see. Alison had lots of very good information for us. We enjoyed our day with her!

Truly Fantastic Tour

The small details!! Alison knew that we were Canadian, so she made sure to highlight many Canadian grave stones and many other points while explaining the history of the area.
Eating lunch outside of the Vimy Ridge centre.
Alison picked us up from the Arras train station which was so convenient for us.
She is an incredibly pleasant person who was easy to talk to and fun to be around!
