Efter frokost leder vi til Vimy Ridge og jorden, over hvilken canadiske tropper viste deres udholdenhed og mod under fangsten af denne strategisk vigtige funktion. Din erfarne guide vil fortælle dig historien og hvordan krigen udfolder sig over disse dele af den vestlige front. 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.

Great day with Jon. He was very knowledgeable. Would recommend this tour. We had an emphasis on the Canadian aspect and he was able to show us what we wanted to see.
The tour was only in English but the explanations were very precise. Alison was very generous with her time, she insisted that we see everything there was to see. The 4/5 was only because we could not visit one place because there was a commemoration and it was really not Alison's fault, otherwise it is a 5/5! Thank you Alison From Quebec!
I had a fantastic day touring with John. From the very beginning, everything was well organized. Pickup arrangements and logistics were clearly communicated, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Throughout the tour, John shared a wealth of historical facts, fascinating anecdotes, and local insights that brought the area to life. His knowledge and storytelling made the experience both educational and enjoyable. This tour left me wanting to come back and explore even more of the region. I would happily book another tour with John and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an informative, engaging, and well-run experience.
Thank you from myself and Jon, we really do appreciate knowing that the tours are so well received
Jon was outstanding. We booked at the last minute (48 hours in advance) and requested some customization which he readily accommodated. I knew some of the history, but his knowledge was encyclopedic. He provided such meaningful context and information that does not appear in any of the official accounts I have read. Jon has mastered his chosen profession. I have three uncles that served in WW1 with the CEF and Jon helped bring their memories and sense of the sacrifice they made to life.
A big thank you from Jon and myself for your brilliant review
John was excellent! His enthusiasm and knowledge of the area and events are extraordinary. The day ended too quickly! Thank you for, generously, sharing your time with us!
Thank you from Jon and myself for providing such kind feedback
A very comprehensive tour of the Arras battlefield, including all the important sites. Jon the guide was immensely knowledgeable and considerate.
Thank you from myself and Jon for this kind review
A private tour is definitely the way to go for this WW1 Experience. Our guide, Alison, was spectacular ✨ She had such a wealth of knowledge of the tactics of the war, how the soldiers were positioned, and she showed us a many cemeteries and how they were different. This was honestly a life changing experience. « Lest we forget » 🌺
Thank you so much for your lovely company on the day and for these extremely warm words
Alison is a very engaging tour guide. We did a brief visit to the CWGC Visitor Centre and got an overview of the important work that the CWGC does. Alison explained/pointed out lots as we visited various sites of conflict and various memorials scattered around the Somme. By visiting other memorials first, you are able to truly appreciate the masterpiece that is the Vimy Memorial. It is unlike most other memorials and it is particularly moving. I highly recommend this tour and Alison as your guide.
Thank you for your company on the day and taking the time to feedback. Very much appreciated
Private tour with Alison was excellent. She is extremely knowledgeable about WW1 and provided just the right pace to the day. She also was flexible with the schedule knowing we might see some duplicate sites on a subsequent tour. We appreciated her lovely wit and sense of humour.
Thank you so much for this lovely review All the best Alison
Diane, our tour guide was outstanding! We could not have asked for more. We were 4 adults and she drove us to many of the Canadian memorial sites and adjusted it slightly due to the weather and it worked out perfectly. She was very knowledgeable & friendly and we had a few good laughs throughout our day. We were extremely impressed and appreciative that she took time prior to looking up a family member and shared all the details for us to take with us; wow! This was an outstanding private tour and well worth the cost and our time. We highly recommend!
Thank you so much for this fabulous review. I know what a fantastic guide Diane is and glad to hear you enjoyed her company. Much appreciated from both of us Alison
