Amazing Experience - Absolutely amazing & emotional experience on this tour with Sylvestre. Visited so many sites of the western front of WW1. Highly recommended this tour for every Australian if you get to France. Thank you Sylvestre.

Highly recommended - friendly, professional and knowledgable guide for private tour of WW1 memorials - Sylvestre is an oustanding guide and I am so happy to reccomend him to other travellers. I travelled with my 70yo mother and a family friend in Sylvestre's comfortable Mercedes van. Always on time and immacualtely clean, the van was equipped to seat 7, so was more than comfortable for our small group of three. My mothers hope in booking this trip was to find the grave of her great-uncle who had died in the first World War and Sylvestre found and provided records about him and took us to his memorial. He was happy to find us a local flower shop for us to purchase flowers for the memorial and accommodating and respectful of our time at the site. Sylvestre is knowledgeable, friendly and quick witted. We loved speaking with him about history, travel and culture. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the wars, battles fought, and the locations. His tour is flexible and goes at your own pace. I love that he can tailor the tour to suit your particular interests, particularly in relation to visiting memorials relevant to you own Country - in my case, Australia. I highly reccomend Sylvestre.

Making History Real - We decided during our stay in France to experience some of the WWI history up close and found this tour to do so. Our guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, not just about the places we toured, but also about the area in general. The diversity of sites we visited, from memorials to preserved battlefields, was astounding and way more than we expected. Would absolutely recommend this tour to a friend.

Fantastic tour of the Somme - A fantastic tour - we had a really enjoyable and insightful day. Sylvestre was a great guide, giving us lots of history and facts on the tour, moving at the right speed and allowing us to take our time at each stop. We learnt a lot from our trip and asked lots of questions. We were not looking for a specific grave (although if you are, Sylvestre will help you to find it) - we were looking for more a general tour and history of the Somme and this tour was fantastic. We would recommend this tour - it was excellent.

Sylvester’s tour - This was an excellent day. Sylvester picked us up from Paris at 8.30am and took my sister and I to The Somme. We visited the WW1 battlefields, museums, thiepval memorial and ancre cemetery, stopping for a break and lunch in between. Sylvester’s knowledge was excellent. The day was well paced and spaced and we really got to know Sylvester who gave us plenty of time to look around, take photos, he even helped carry our shopping..! We had space at ancre cemetery to spend time at the grave of our great great grandfather William Samuel Cully. It was a powerfully emotive day and all the more memorable due to the wonderful guide..! Highly recommended.

What a Great Tour - Sylvester went out of his way to take us to a grave site outside of his normal tour to visit our family member who is buried at Armentieres. He took us to many sites which would be impossible to visit unless you had a guide with transport. Sylvester,s knowledge is outstanding and he does a lot of research on each individual tour in terms of the grave sites and family members of the fallen. We had Sylvester pick us up from our hotel in Paris and take us back which made a huge difference to the entire experience. We would highly recommend Sylvester as a tour guide and his ability to be flexible and make each tour unique for each individual tour and family. We were interested in all the Australian site but we also visited the Canadian and Ulster sites as well along with a nice lunch at Arras, which has a unique Flemish influence architecturally. I can not recommend this tour more highly and if you think you can do The Somme on your own, my comments are you are missing out on all the knowledge and the sites themselves are very far apart so you really need to know where you are going.

Great tour - Impressive tour. Good en nice guide Sylvester, speaking perfect English and sharing a lot of interesten information, even for us who visited the Somme earlier.

Excellent tour - Excellent tour with great knowledge by the guide. As it was during the pandemic we had a private tour as it was just myself and my son

Exceptional Service from Lea - Lea was our guide for the Somme battlefield Tours. My Brother and I were super impressed with her knowledge of history. Her presentation was superb and the tour, was not only tailored to our historical interests but also based on the questions we asked..we would highly recommend Lea and this Tour Company, if you are looking for an excellent and educational experience..Brendan and Alan..

Sylvester us the best! - A day with Sylvester was a comprehensive, informative look at the Battle of the Somme. He hit more highlights than we could have covered in three days! And some off the beaten path stops we never would have seen. We loved it!
