Our guide was very knowledgeable and detailed. She was interesting and flexible. She adjusted our tour due to our misunderstanding. A great guide.

Our operator was wonderful! We had some travel/scheduling hiccups and she made some plan suggestions/adjustments that allowed for a wonderful time of exploring and experiencing the trench conditions of WW1 in the Argonne area. We appreciated both our operator's flexibility and her knowledge of the area and WW1 time period!

Excellent tour off the beaten path, but worth the visit if you're interested in US WW1 history Argonne sector. Tour guide is very knowledgeable, friendly, and will accommodate tour to your interests. See old bunkers still in tact, trench lines, and even on my tour found an old grenade (see picture). Easy to get to from major cities with a rental car. I stayed in Metz, and it was 90 minutes from me on A4. Step in actual trenches and bunkers used during WW1. Walk the battlefields and be where history actually occurred.
