We had a fabulous day with Sylvestre on the Somme tour. We were picked up punctually and explored all the major Australian monuments and cemeteries in the area of the Somme. The day was fascinating and Sylvestre was full of local and Australia knowledge. We saw several cemeteries, monuments and finished at the impressive John Monash Museum. His van was very comfortable and he picked a lovely local cafe for lunch. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone interested in WW1 history.
War should not be glorified only the sacrifice made by so many.

We were very impressed with our tour of the Battlefields, Sylvestre was an excellent guide with a vast knowledge of the contribution that the Australians made to the war in the Somme.
We had no idea that the size of where they fought was so small.
It was an Honour to visit this place and see the sacrifice that was made.
A great day in the battlefields.

The whole trip was very memorable and we particularly enjoyed the Victoria School. Sylvester was excellent and provided us with a wonderful experience.
A must do for all Australians.

Our trip to the Somme to visit the battlefields where the Australians fought was a truly humbling experience and one that I would recommend all Australians to do in their lifetime. You will never forget. Our tour guide Slyvestre was extremely knowledgeable on the conflicts and history. We were truly humbled by this experience and thank Slyvestre for his company.
In closing, the Sir John Monash museum at Villers-Bretonneux is a must see.

What an amazing tour. Sylvester, our guide, was fantastic. No crowds, no time pressure and so accommodating. Even went out of his way to take us to a family member's grave at Dernancour cemetery. Had lunch at a lovely little Cafe with gluten free options. Great tour and would recommend it to any Aussie touring Paris.
