The tour was fantastic. Gwendyl firstly speaks excellent English and his communication before and during the tour is impeccable.Transportation was smooth to and from the hotel in a comfortable and very clean vehicle. He is also flexible within reason.
Top highlights:
1. Gwendyl did a fantastic job of bringing history to life. He started the tour showing us troop movements on a map and why certain areas were of military importance. It gave us a sense of direction and bearings on where we were in each stop. He is very knowledgeable and the tour is very organized.
2. There is nothing that can describe the area that was ravished by this war. The lumps and bumps. The craters from the bombs. The trenches still visible after over 100 years.
3. The loss was staggering. The Ossuary and graveyards solidified this. Whole towns gone. Land still unusable.
4. The old forts and bunkers are super cool.
5. The museum is fantastic. It really brings home what you witnessed throughout the day. We liked it a lot. The movies and stories.
6. My teen really liked it.
Be prepared for a long day of being outside. We went in December and it was still enjoyable. The countryside is gorgeous too. I am so glad we chose to do this. It’s important to know history.
I can’t say enough good things about this your.
