The most incredible tour experience - This tour is one of the best holiday experiences I’ve ever had. Our guide Frankie was outstanding, he showed and told us about so many small things we would not have otherwise known, and we were able to take it all in at our own pace. The volume of places we visited was excellent and really inclusive and made for an intense, emotional but incredible full day that was worth every penny. I would absolutely do this again and 100% recommend it.

Interesting, informative & enjoyable - An expensive tour because of the AUD exchange rate. Lunch at Tommy's restaurant was disappointing & should have been included in the price ,(excluding drinks). Otherwise an enjoyable day.

A moving experience. - A full and excellent day. Our guide Marie was very informative and we were able to really get a feel for the Battle of the Somme and the world lead up to it all. The Australian Memorial and John Monash museum are excellent and the people of France have made the whole Amiens and Somme area so beautiful and peaceful. The weather being perfect was an added bonus and the small group made the whole day just right. Easy to find the meeting point and a full but interesting day. I recommend the experience for any Australian adult.

An Australian's perspective on Somme Battlefields from Paris with Australian memorial - Clemence was a highly entertaining and informative guide for this tour. His knowledge of World War I and the Australian involvement in particular was exceptional. No request was a problem for him. Our group was small (5), and as a result of this, we were able to make small changes to the itinerary to suit our needs. I highly recommend this tour.

HUMBLING TRIP - Was a great experience to see what the Aussie troops contributed to beat the German army. I feel that the price was expensive as there were no entry costs involved. Lunch should have been included, not an added expense

Get a bigger bus or take less people - The guide (Marie) was knowledgeable and friendly. The interests of the guide group were considered. The experience was made so much more enjoyable due to her skill and consideration. The day was blighted by the size of the bus. I felt cramped and uncomfortable. Being in a cramped bus for 12 hours detracted from the experience.
