Private WW1 Australske tur, herunder Sir John Monash Centre
Beskrivelse
Efter at have mødt din guide tager du først til Villers-Bretonneux og tilbringer morgenen med at afsløre den australske styrkes historie i de mørke dage i den tyske forårsaffære i 1918. Efter frokost går vi videre til slaget ved Somme. Fra grøfter til mindesmærker vil vi guide dig gennem planlægning og udførelse af denne berygtede kampagne. Vi driver kun private ture, dette vil være din tur og tilpasset efter behov for at opfylde dine behov i løbet af tiden. Hvis du har nogen særlige steder, såsom områder, der involverede dine slægtninge, bedes du spørge, da vi er ivrige efter at tilpasse turen specifikt til dig. Med vores år med at leve og arbejde på disse ikoniske steder har vi til formål at sikre, at du forlader med minder om ofringen af en generation. I betragtning af passende varsel tid og tilgængelighed af optegnelser er vi i stand til at forske og forberede en skræddersyet tur til at dække en individuel soldat eller enhed.

Rejseplan
Du vil være i stand til at fordybe dig i de australske styrkers handlinger i WW1 i denne interaktive oplevelse. Adgang er gratis, men du skal bruge en telefon/lydenhed og høretelefoner/knopper for at oprette forbindelse til den interaktive del af udstillingerne.
Lær om arbejdet i Commonwealth War Graves Commision og giv din respekt til de faldne. Du vil også se det originale gravsted for Australiens ukendte soldat.
Stående på jorden af det australske mindesmærke vil din guide fortælle dig om den rolle, Australien spillede i dette område under 1. verdenskrig. Hvis du ønsker det, vil du have tid til at klatre op ad mindesmærkets trin og se ud på jorden, hvor østrigerne viste stor tapperhed.
Dette besøg tager på stederne omkring Victoria-skolen og dens forbindelser til Australien og staten Victoria. Dette er et fleksibelt besøg, og der kan gives tid til diskussion med guiden til at besøge museet.
Et must-see-sted på Somme "Det største krater lavet af mennesker i vrede" Lås op for noget af historien om slaget ved Somme, mens du går rundt i dette arrede landskab.

Wow! We were treated to a masterclass in WWI history today, delivered by the incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable Alison. Our tour was thoughtfully tailored to our interests, focusing on Australia’s involvement and battles during the WW1. Alison provided balanced insights and engaging discussions that considered all perspectives, making the experience both informative and deeply thought-provoking. The entire day was personalised to our wishes, and nothing felt rushed or generic. We would highly recommend Alison to anyone seeking an unforgettable and meaningful experience exploring the Western Front battlefields. Amazing experience — thank you again, Alison! ⸻
I never know how to respond to such fantastic feedback other than thank you. I love what I do and to know it is working really does mean a lot to me Thank you
Our guide, Alison, could not have been better. She was prompt, knowledgeable and accommodating to any of our requests. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, as always appreciated
If you want a detailed explanation of WW1 on the Somme, then this tour is a must. Our guide John has a lot of knowledge of the war and he researches family members and shares the details with you, if you want them.
Very much appreciate your five star review. Thank you from both of us All the best Alison
A very informative tour with a very knowledgeable guide which covered many sites and points of interest in an unhurried manner
Thank you for our excellent review Alison
Whilst we were interested in Australian focus we asked for & were provided with balanced perspective of all nations involved, including Germany. Tour educated on the scope of the engagement & we were shocked by how many lives were lost in fighting over such a small region of farmland. Monash Centre a must see. Thank you Alison for your insights & factual analysis.
Thank you for your company and very kind review is has been much appreciated Alison
We had an interesting and thought provoking tour around the battlefields and memorials near Albert. John was a superb guide. He has a vast knowledge of the area and we really enjoyed his company during the day. The blue skies and clear views made it even better. We learned a lot about the war and highly recommend this tour to anyone with interests in the contributions of the AIF.
Thank you from both Jon and I for this lovely review
This is a confronting but important learning experience for anyone. For an Australian it is especially so…. Alison is warm, well informed, patient and flexible. She knows the facts but also understands the importance and complexity of context and is able to reflect on its impact. Alison researched our young neighbour who died at Pozieres in 1916. That was incredibly important for us and for others in our inner urban Melbourne village. We were able to lay a small posy where his name is recorded. He has no known grave…. Merci beaucoup Alison for a day we will never forget. Highly recommended…
Thank you so much for this review, it was lovely to spend time with you both very much appreciated
Alison has great knowledge and is a very personable guide. We learnt so much and we visited many sites.
Thank you so much for the kind review, much appreciated
Allison was amazing, her knowledge of the area and histoical events was excellent. Allison had researched my great uncle Micheal Quinn and worked the tour around the Australian soldiers and where Michael had served. We could not have asked for more.
Thanks for these very kind comments, it was a pleasure working with you
We had a great time with Alison. She is incredibly knowledgeable and very accommodating, happy to inform and answer questions as she goes. We loved how down to earth yet expert she is, and she clearly designed our tour around our own cultural interests. Brava! We cannot recommend her more highly ... thank you for a wonderful, informative, absorbing day!
Thank you so much for the lovely comments they are very much appreciated. It is having customers like yourselves that make our tours special to us.
