5.00I have nothing but positive things to say. Brigitte was very kind, professional and above all, incredibly knowledgeable. What a privilege to be able to hear our shared history from an incredibly passionate and thoughtful Somme local! I learned so much from the day, not only about Australian history but lots about the local Somme region and the history of so many little towns spread across the tour. Brigitte has clearly put a lot of time and effort into designing an incredibly engaging and balanced day and I could not recommend her and this tour enough. My only addition is that I would recommend saving another day on your trip to really do the Franco-Australien Musee in Villers-Bretonneux as well as the Australian Memorial and Sir John Monash Centre; I came back the following day and spent an easy 4+ hours across the sites, not including walking time. But I wouldn’t have had it any other way, time with Brigitte was time very well spent! Thanks again!
Would do again

5.00My family and I spent a day with Brigitte. Her knowledge was fantastic and we appreciated the maps and photographs she carried with her to show us what it was like in the area during the First World War. We found the tour very informative and greatly appreciated hearing about her connection to the area.
Perfect experience - above and beyond

4.00Briggite is a native to this part of the Somme and gives a very informed and descriptive accounting of one of the most prolific battles in the history of the Commonwealth. She focuses specifically on the participation of the Australian sectors of the battlefield and gave an in-depth accounting that made it worth making the reservation. Great job!
Fabulous, enlightening and grounding

5.00Fantastic make sure you set aside the "whole day". I learned so much from this experience, thankyou so much Brigett, this tour had it all. I was enlightened, saddened, uplifted and one very proud Aussie. If you have ever wanted to see the western front this is an absolute must see.
