Fabulous experience
Megan_C, Dec 2024
Our battlefields tour was a fabulous experience and one that I have wanted to do for many years. It was beautiful, moving, enlightening and at times a bit overwhelming. Silvestre was an excellent guide with an extensive depth of knowledge and he ensured our day was very enjoyable. Absolute professional. All aspects of the itinerary were interesting and worthwhile, and we were given plenty of time to immerse ourselves in the whole experience. Totally worth it.
Fantastic tour with deeply knowledgeable guide.

Our tour with Sylvester was simply outstanding. He's been giving tours for 19 years and clearly shows his understanding of both the history and significance of each location but also gets deeply into what we personally want to get out of the trip. He was able to solve a long mystery for one member of our group - we found the memorial for his great grandfather who was lost at the battle of the Somme.
Sylvester's guidance was priceless for our trip. We would do it again in a heartbeat.
Don’t pass this up

Had been on my bucket list for years. Sylvestre was excellent. He is extremely knowledgeable and tailors the tour to suit his guests. I will be coming back for more tours of other battlegrounds in the future.
Full day tour

Sylvester was great, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, we did a full day tour that took in a lot of the WW1 key sites. Had lunch a a good restaurant in Albert. All in all a very good day.

Absolutely amazing & emotional experience on this tour with Sylvestre. Visited so many sites of the western front of WW1. Highly recommended this tour for every Australian if you get to France. Thank you Sylvestre.
