WWI Belleau Wood Tour - We booked a private tour with Adrian Roads and our guide/owner was Regis. I read the reviews from previous customers and it was apparent that this is the right company to book with. We had to book a private tour as the group tours were booked solid during the time frame we were there. The cost of the tour was 800 Euros which may seem a little steep, but we were extremely happy with the tour and I would say it is worth it. regis is an absolute professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. He was very engaging and wanted to ensure that we were pleased with the tour. I would recommend this tour to all!

A Day Back in Time - Wonderful day spent with a knowledgeable historian on WW1. Regis brought the events of the battle at Belleau Wood to life as we stood in the forest, walked through the bunkers and trenches as he relayed the events of that day. The drive through the French villages and a great meal at a restaurant in Chateau-Thierry was great. We were at our leisure visiting the museums and cemeteries. Never felt rushed. My husband, a former Marine, had always wanted to visit Belleau Wood, where the Marines got their Devil Dog moniker. He was not disappointed and we would recommend this day to anyone interested in WWI history.

Everything we expected & more - Our main objective for ending our 3 week holiday in Europe was this trip, and we weren’t disappointed. Regis has an extreme gift that is evident when he shares his knowledge of WW1, the amount of detail and accuracy was mind blowing. I am a historian & my partner is a Marine & from both sides we agreed this tour and what he shared was perfect from start to finish. First thing we did when friends asked about the trip was recommend it, saying it was a good experience doesn’t do it justice. Though emotionally heavy at times it was everything we expected and then some. Thank you so so much for sharing your knowledge and time with us.

Outstanding Experience and Tour Guide - Tour guide was incredibly knowledgable about the area and the history of Belleau Wood; was passionate about sharing his knowledge and ensuring we had a great experience. Well prepared tour and a comfortable, clean ride. Would not have been able to see or learn as much if we tried to do this trip on our own.

11/11/2022 tour - Regis was an amazing tour guide. My husband and I booked a trip for 11/11 (Veterans Day/armistice Day) and it was everything we expected plus more! Regis has extensive knowledge of WW1. He taught me more about the battle of Belleau Woods than Marine Corps Boot Camp did. He also captured many photos of my husband and I and our trip. I HIGHLY recommend booking this tour to any veterans&their families while visiting France.

Chateau Thierry - A little “dot” of a town in the Champagne region.Beautiful rolling hills and greenery, along with vineyards surround this town. We stopped by o. The way home from our vineyard tour in the village of Chigney Les Roses. We found a bakery on the Main Street (name forgotten) that sold us some incredible pastries and a delicious baguette. We then stopped by a WWI cemetery with an interesting history, drove around the town for 20-25 minutes, got lost and found a medieval fortress with part of the town included within its walls. Just a unique experience. Don’t worry about planning things here, just drive and wander to find little hidden gems of your own. Joel & Rosalie…Delray Beach, FL. USA.

My eye opening tour - Excellent guide who brought to life how U.S. soldiers, particularly the Marines helped stem Germany’s last effort to win WW I and brought allies victory. His name was Regis Piteux.

History comes alive - These woods are silent now. But if you look the scars of war are there 100+ years later. Regis was a most excellent and knowledgeable guide. The American cemetery and monuments were impressive. I hope to tour with this company again.

Marine honoring Marine - Regis, our guide, was very knowledgeable. He did everything possible to make our trip enjoyable including accommodating my son’s wheelchair. This is not something he would normally have done

Acquiring a Full Account of the Battle of Belleau Wood. - Regis is highly knowledgeable & enthusiastic about the conduct of the battles occurring in Belleau Wood and Chateau-Thierry. He was also punctual, courteous and even was considerate enough to recommend the place where we had a delicious lunch.
