My Aussie family and I thoroughly enjoyed our 1 day tour of the Somme we undertook late in Nov '19. Lea was an excellent guide who not only had very good knowledge of the events that occurred but was also very fluent in English. Our entire family learnt a lot that day and my wife even shared some of her grandfathers stories. I definitely recommend this tour.

My family (wife and 2 children) very much enjoyed our 1 day Somme tour. Sylvester is very knowledgable and friendly, and has excellent English. Actually seeing the places where these famous WWI battles were fought really helped me understand them from a perspective you can’t get from books.
