Olivier was an incredible source of knowledge and expertise
I took my father who was overwhelmed with the day from reliving the battle of the Somme and then onto Vimy ridge
Knowledgeable and courteous

Really enjoyed the historic gps maps as we were driven around. Oliver was very knowledgeable and courteous. He literally went the extra mile for us in the end. Enjoyed the lunch choice.
personal tour of the geography and historical events between 1914 and 1918 along the German Western Front

Our host, Olivier, spent the day touring us first through the Canadian Vimy Ridge Memorial and then we travelled along the western front visiting historic sites and places where the trench warfare was conducted. Outer host was so knowledgeable with maps and photos for describing the history from 1915 to 1918. Bios understanding of the history of the historical events is excellent and made the day a complete success, apart from the inclimate November weather Highly recommended .

The best Canadian WW 1 tour
Q1589ZOterryh, Oct 2023
This was perhaps the best guided tour I have ever had. Our guide Olivier was exceptional. His knowledge of the First World War was superb. We are Canadian and he started in 1916 when the Canadians arrived in this area and took us up to November 11 1918 in great detail. This was accompanied by fantastic trench maps and photos of all the areas we drove thru and stopped at. I cannot praise him enough and thoroughly enjoyed the day. 11 out of 10 on this tour if you get the chance don’t miss it.
A Living Documentary

You cannot ask for a better, more knowledgeable guide for a tour of the Western Front than Olivier. It was like being part of a documentary film. He was able to answer any question I had and paced the tour well. He was able to bring you to the battlefield in more than just the immediate physical sense, but recreate the front lines and trenches in a way that put you there mentally, as if the past had returned. It had been a dream of mine to walk the trenches and follow in the footsteps of the men of the Great War, and this experience was exactly what I’d hoped it would be.
