Our tour of Vimy Ridge

Anne_S, Sep 2023

We enjoyed a private, exceptionally informative tour with Lucas. He was personable, knowledgeable and wonderfully organized. We appreciated his ability to communicate memorable facts, moments and overview of the history of WW1 and the significance of the battles and memorials. We will be recommended this tour when we return to Canada and are in awe of the respect paid to all those for their sacrifice. Thank you for keeping this subject relevant and important.

Seeing it live is amazing

DavidE_P, Apr 2023

The pictures of Vimy Ridge memorial I have seen do not do it justice having now seen it live.

The Newfoundland Caribou memorial does justice to the tragic story of that regiment

Our tour guide Claude is top notch

An amazing day

Gemma_S, Mar 2022

Claude was fantastic, his descriptions and knowledge really brought everything to life. He was great at explaining the phases and various battles in the war and showed the various front lines. We covered so much more than we would have got round ourselves and he made it really interesting and informative. We would highly recommend the day.

Clause was a great guide. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and also helped us solve a couple of issues related to timing and logistics. Highly recommended!

Incredible Experience

Kimberley_B, Nov 2019

Claude was an outstanding tour guide. The staff at the Vimy Ridge Center are all Canadian University students from across the country. They were proud to be working at such a historic place. The Newfoundland Memorial Park was also incredible to visit.
