A must to do in Fance - We had Brigette pick us up off the train at Amiens and we were the only ones for the day. She was brilliant and we would highly recommend her to others. Her attention to detail, her knowledge of events and kindness were remarkable. Above our expectations.

Brilliant Bridgitte-led Battlefield Private Tour - We were collected from our accommodation by the wonderful Bridgitte who, from the start, was the most thoughtful, caring and knowledgeable hostess and tour guide. She made our day so interesting with her many fascinating stories and insight into the battles and skirmishes of World War 1 in the Somme Valley. We were never rushed from one landmark to the next and amongst the historical tragedy there were plenty of laughs and light hearted chatting. Thank you Bridgitte for such a memorable, informative and inspiring day - you are a real superstar in your chosen occupation!

A personal perspective of the Somme. - Brigitte was an excellent guide-knowledgeable, engaging and friendly. The sites we visited were steeped in history, each having their own unique story, while still being intrinsically connected to each other. My grandfather fought on the Somme, & Brigitte tailored the day to fit with his personal story.

Highly Recommended Tour! - My daughter and I spent the most wonderful and special day with our guide Brigitte. Her knowledge of WW1 and the contribution our soldiers made on the Somme is incredible. Brigitte shows great passion and concern for the allied soldiers who fought, died and those who remain missing. She was also able to confirm with me that while serving on the front my grandfather whose occupation was a boot repairer also repaired boots for other soldiers on the battlefields. Soldiers boots are important! Thank you Brigitte for a wonderful day! Once in a lifetime experience! Fiona and Brianna

A Day out on the Battlefields - The day tour with Brigette was amazing. Armed with maps, photos and her incredible knowledge, Brigette explained the Western Front as we drove around the villages. My highlight was visiting the Victorian School in Villers-Bretonneux (which was not on the original tour) and because it was a Saturday we were able to access the school hall which had wood cravings of Australian animals. Also walking the battlefields and the John Monash Memorial were also highlights.

Knowledgeable informative accomodating - Bridgette was an unbelievable tour guide. Bridgette has a wealth of knowledge and passion. We were treated to a tour of the battlefields and surrounding towns. Bridgette met us at the train station in Amiens and we returned there late that day. I would highly recommend doing a tour with Bridgette
