An Excellent Tour to Vimy Ridge

Howard W, Jun 2024

Brigitte our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable and helpful and took us to places we did not expect to see as well as the very imposing Vimy Ridge monument. We toured the tunnels, and some war cemeteries , Canadian, British, and German. Highly recommended for all.

A “must do” Experience for Canadians

Maureen_S, May 2024

Our guide, Brigette, was able to set the scene for our full day that culminated at the Canadian Memorial at Vimy Ridge. The morning was spent visiting the vast cemeteries (German, Commonwealth, French), a quirky museum of artifacts, and a charming lunch stop. Thank you!

A Great Day Touring with fellow Canadians through Vimy and Arras area.

Brigette gave us a fantastic tour. She is incredibly knowledgeable about WW1. She made the tour very enjoyable to all.

There were two groups of people together. My husband and I plus three gentlemen (3 generations). The youngest in our group was 13 and we ranged up to 65. She did a great job of keeping everyone engaged during the tour.

Thank you Brigette.

Vimy Ridge and the battle of Arras

Maury_T, May 2023

Our guide Brigitte had an amazing knowledge and love for the area. This tour is not as simple as go to Vimy, go to Cabaret Rouge, Brigitte did her best to explain the relationship of the Canadians to the town of Arras and help understand that the Vimy was one part of the years long battle for the town of Arras. The tour was rounded off with a visit to a private museum (4 euros per person- bring cash). And the largest French necropolis where there is of all things a traditional French restaurant where lunch reservations were made. (Again at your cost, but a chance to devour food and process what you’ve seen so far). The final stop of the day was Vimy, and it did not disappoint, it was definitely worth the pilgrimage.
