Olivier was so knowledgeable. The history and sites were very interesting. We had a great day and learned so much about Australian troops role in WW1.
Amazing history and very moving.

During our recent visit to France we took a tour of the Somme Battlefields with Olivier. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in WWI history,
Oliviers knowledge and genuine passion of these WWI battles is first class.
The Sir John Monash Centre is must see, words do not do it justice.

Exceptional tour with a fantastic guide
Rebecca W, Dec 2024
My husband, two primary school age children and I had a private tour of the Somme region and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Olivier was a very knowledgeable and accommodating guide tailoring our visit to significant Australian sites and also taking us to the grave of my great great uncle in a hard-to-find cemetery. Olivier had also done some research on my great great uncle’s service and gave some insights as to where he fought during the war. I highly recommend Olivier as a guide and he was also incredibly patient with the kids. Thank you for a memorable visit.
Excellent WWI tour focusing on the Australian sites.

Amazing tour with our very knowledgeable guide, Olivier. We really enjoyed getting to see a few of the different major sites for the Australians in WWI and having the context explained behind the battles. Olivier was very accommodating and made the whole experience a fantastic one for us. Would highly recommend as a way of getting to see some of the sites that are part of our history and understand what made them so.
Great trip with Olivier

The personalised tour was amazing and gave us time to spend as long as we wanted on those areas of most interest to us personally. Visit to Sir John Monash was brilliant.
