5.00A must do trip for all Australians. Our guide Sylvester was an amazing source of information on WW1. He helped me in all areas visited with my trip focus on where my Great Grandfather had served, and he went above and beyond my expectations. I have seen and learnt so much on this trip, everything from the horrors of war, to the new beginnings of life at the school in Villers Bretonnuex.
Fantastic Day Trip

5.00Our battlefields tour was a fabulous experience and one that I have wanted to do for many years. It was beautiful, moving, enlightening and at times a bit overwhelming. Silvestre was an excellent guide with an extensive depth of knowledge and he ensured our day was very enjoyable. Absolute professional. All aspects of the itinerary were interesting and worthwhile, and we were given plenty of time to immerse ourselves in the whole experience. Totally worth it.
Fantastic tour with deeply knowledgeable guide.

5.00Our tour with Sylvester was simply outstanding. He's been giving tours for 19 years and clearly shows his understanding of both the history and significance of each location but also gets deeply into what we personally want to get out of the trip. He was able to solve a long mystery for one member of our group - we found the memorial for his great grandfather who was lost at the battle of the Somme. Sylvester's guidance was priceless for our trip. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

5.00Had been on my bucket list for years. Sylvestre was excellent. He is extremely knowledgeable and tailors the tour to suit his guests. I will be coming back for more tours of other battlegrounds in the future.

4.00A day with Sylvester was a comprehensive, informative look at the Battle of the Somme. He hit more highlights than we could have covered in three days! And some off the beaten path stops we never would have seen. We loved it!
