Starting in the pretty little town of Albert we head first to
Villers-Bretonneux and spend the morning uncovering the history of the Australian force in the dark days of the 1918 German Spring Offensive. After lunch, we move on to the Battle of the Somme. From trenches to memorials we will guide you through the planning and execution of this infamous campaign.
We only operate private tours, this will be your tour and adapted as necessary to meet your needs during the time. If you have any special sites, such as areas that involved your relatives, please ask as we are keen to adapt the tour specifically for you. With our years of living and working on these iconic sites we aim to ensure you leave with memories of the sacrifice of a generation.
Given suitable notice time and the availability of records we are able to research and prepare a bespoke tour to cover an individual soldier or unit.

5.00If you want a detailed explanation of WW1 on the Somme, then this tour is a must. Our guide John has a lot of knowledge of the war and he researches family members and shares the details with you, if you want them.
Excellent tour

5.00Whilst we were interested in Australian focus we asked for & were provided with balanced perspective of all nations involved, including Germany. Tour educated on the scope of the engagement & we were shocked by how many lives were lost in fighting over such a small region of farmland. Monash Centre a must see. Thank you Alison for your insights & factual analysis.
There are still many lessons to be learned from the Battle of the Somme.

5.00We had an interesting and thought provoking tour around the battlefields and memorials near Albert. John was a superb guide. He has a vast knowledge of the area and we really enjoyed his company during the day. The blue skies and clear views made it even better. We learned a lot about the war and highly recommend this tour to anyone with interests in the contributions of the AIF.
This is a confronting but...

5.00This is a confronting but important learning experience for anyone. For an Australian it is especially so…. Alison is warm, well informed, patient and flexible. She knows the facts but also understands the importance and complexity of context and is able to reflect on its impact. Alison researched our young neighbour who died at Pozieres in 1916. That was incredibly important for us and for others in our inner urban Melbourne village. We were able to lay a small posy where his name is recorded. He has no known grave…. Merci beaucoup Alison for a day we will never forget. Highly recommended…
A pilgrimage to honour my grandfather

5.00Allison was amazing, her knowledge of the area and histoical events was excellent. Allison had researched my great uncle Micheal Quinn and worked the tour around the Australian soldiers and where Michael had served. We could not have asked for more.
Great experience with a knowledgeable and fun guide

5.00We had a great time with Alison. She is incredibly knowledgeable and very accommodating, happy to inform and answer questions as she goes. We loved how down to earth yet expert she is, and she clearly designed our tour around our own cultural interests. Brava! We cannot recommend her more highly ... thank you for a wonderful, informative, absorbing day!
A must do.

5.00This tour is a must do if you are intending on visiting the area. John's knowledge and understanding of the events that happened in this area during WWI (and before) is second to none. He was able to explain and add context to the battlefields and events. He was more than accommodating and flexible in where we went. He also did research on a personal family level and answered some questions we had about the service of my grandfather here. Thanks John for a great tour and day.
