Poignant, beautiful and a pilgrimage done. The Australian & New Zealand Battlefields Tour trip is a must do - This is a must do visit for any Australian interested in our history or had a relative that served during WW1. Brigitte collected us from the train station and took us for a visit to the magnificent Amiens Cathedral. During the day we visited Villers Bretonneux, The Sir John Monash Centre, Pozieres, Hamel and the Somme Valley. After a long day, our guide returned us to Amiens train station for our return to Paris. We could not recommend Brigitte more highly for her knowledge, friendliness and passion for the subject

Brigitte knows her Aussie history on the Battlefields! - The guide is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the battlefields but was able to explain the Aussie contribution deeply and with so much information! I had a family member who I had pre-written to Brigitte about, and she had done her homework and was able to add details to my family history. Forever grateful. Was very kind to me with suggestions for my time further north in Flanders Fields, Belgium.

This was really... - This was really enlightening. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Our guide was very good and really know the history of the Australian forces in France during WWI and their legacy. I learnt some things from her. Her attention to details was extraordinary, down to messaging me beforehand to find out if I had any relatives that fought there so she could research and be prepared.

I really enjoyed the tour... - I really enjoyed the tour with Brigitte. Brigitte is a mine of information and welcomed all questions and enquiries. The bigger picture of the different battles was described and then focus was brought back down to the level of the human beings who experienced it all. Brigitte was very helpful and helped dig up some extra information on my own relative who served. I would recommend the tour to everyone!
