Lest we forget. - Our driver/guide Michel was excellent—picked us up right on time and advised us as to what to do and what to see upon arrival at the Vimy Ridge Memorial. We took different routes to and from our destination. Michel provided a historical perspective as well as insight into the ongoing ties between Canada and France. We visited Commonwealth cemeteries and noted difference amongst the resting places of Commonwealth/French/German soldiers. Merci beaucoup, Michel!

Delightful and Informative Transfer from Arras - Michel brought myself, my mum, and my two aunts to Vimy Ridge from the Arras train station and everything went smoothly. Michel is from the region and full of knowledge of WWI. After 3 hours at the site he picked us up and drove us back a different way to see some additional sites. He also dropped us in the Arras city centre to explore before getting back on the train. All of this to say: I would highly recommend Michel to others. By the way, the Vimy Ridge centre does not have any cantine aside from vending machines, so pack a snack! There is also not much at the Arras station if you are coming from there.

Excellent. Michel was an extremely enjoyable host and knew his facts regarding the events at Vimy Ridge and local areas. - We had a fabulous transfer and informational tour of Vimy Ridge, Arras and the surrounding area. Michel is very knowledgeable, timely and we definitely recommend his services. We toured Vimy Ridge for 3 hours and spent another hour with Michel who showed us cemeteries and local sights. Michel really knows the area and all the events that have occurred there.

Michel is a very... - Michel is a very knowledgeable guide who has a deep interest in history, perfect for this tour. We appreciated seeing the different military cemeteries on both the trip out and back; this deepened our knowledge. The Canadian WW1 memorial at Vimy is extremely moving and well worth visiting.

Vimy and much more! - Michel was excellent and we could not recommend him more. On top of taking us to Vimy he showed us many of the other World War I cemeteries and the new monument to the Christmas truce. We learned far more and it was more impactful than we could have hoped for.

Vimy Ridge - I question the value of transportation verses the cost. Very knowledgeable. Expected more than just transportation. Our walking of Vimy on our own makes your heart ache for the loss of life that allowed us our freedom in Canada
