A visit of the Canadian memorials at Vimy Ridge and the Newfoundland memorial
Anne_M, Sep 2023
Visiting Vimy Ridge was a very moving experience. As a Canadian very proud of the men that fought to gain this ridge. So very sad that so many had to lose their lives in doing so.
Our guide, Claude, was very knowledgeable about this Vimy Ridge history, but also the history of all the other memorials we visited. He allowed us the time we wanted to experience each site and that is why we wanted a personal tour. He had answers to the many questions we had. It is a memory we will treasure forever.

The Vimy Monument is so moving. To walk in the footsteps of my grandfather was a amazing experience.

It was a good lesson in history and a reminder of the sacrifices these young men and women made!
We were left reflecting on the tremendous losses!

Wonderful Day with So Much Information
Nicola G, Jul 2018
We had a wonderful day with Claude in July 2018. Started with easy communication with Claude during the booking process, and while I had mentioned I would have my daughters with me I had not specifically requested any carseats, and yet he very thoughtfully brought a perfect carseat for my youngest. We received a lot of great information during our day, he kept all of us very interested including even my kids. The visit to the Vimy tunnels was especially great for the kids, as well as the great walk around Beaumont-Hamel. The lunch was yummy and kid-friendly. My husband and I learned a lot and got exactly what we had wanted from our day, which was to learn much more about the WWI experience of Canadians.
