Great to see some interesting sights but a bit disappointed with lack of war history in that region on the drive and although the French guide was a lovely guy he was very hard to understand.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed discovering the Somme region and its important sites. We’re sorry to hear that the historical commentary and guide’s explanations did not fully meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments and will use them to continue improving the experience for our guests. - Alice
Increadibly moving. Made me even more proud to be an Australian than I already feel An exceptional leader and a lovely small group.

Our(my husband and I) tour of the Somme, Thiepval and the Australian Memorial and Monash centre was extremely well organised-meeting point was clearly flagged in the cofirmation emsil, pick-up was smooth and Frankie our tour guide was really excellent-knowldgeable, friendly with a nice, low key delivery, and he let the impact of where we were and what happened there during 1914-18 speak for itself. I would highly recommend this tour with this company to anyone.
My husband and I did the Somme battlefields tour with Chris on Sunday 21/6/26. We were the only ones on the tour so we had our guide all to ourselves. Chris had a HUGE wealth of knowledge and you could tell he was passionate about WWI history and history in general. The air conditioned mini-van was great and the pick up point was easy to get to. We visited quite a lot of sites and I really liked the John Monash Centre. I also liked getting out of Paris and seeing the beautiful countryside in the Somme area. This tour is very much geared towards Australians which was great for us. I had a special interest as my grandfather fought on the Western Front when he was only sixteen years old. We had lunch at a lovely restaurant in Albert recommended by Chris - the food and service was great and we enjoyed our conversation over lunch with Chris. This tour is totally worth it for anyone who has an interest in WWI, Western Front battles and the Anzacs. Thanks Chris for a great day !! Greg & Cheryl Australia
It was amazing. Our tour guide, Victor, was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, thoughtful and fun! We learned so much and the connections to oir Australian troops.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and that Victor made it such a memorable, informative experience, especially with the powerful connections to Australian troops. Regards, - Alice
Our guide had lots of information for us. The van was very clean and comfortable and he was a safe driver. We visited all the sites and had plenty of time at each one. It was a very wonderful experience.
The Somme battlefields tour provides an excellent background of the start of WW I and the early trench warfare in NW France before the Americans entered the war. It includes war cemeteries, an excellent Australian war museum, and a visit to Amiens Cathedral.
Thank you for your review! We're glad you found the tour informative and enjoyed the Somme battlefields, memorials, and Amiens Cathedral. We appreciate your recommendation! - Alice
Clement was our guide. He shared a vast amount of information with us as we moved from one site to another to see old trenches, memorials, and other important and fascinating sites that brought the hardships, horror, and gallantry of those soldiers to life. A day well spent whose memories will last.
The tour was very emotional and yet so rewarding. Being in the fields where so many young men lost their paid the ultimate sacrifice was such an honour. I would like to mention our guide Etienne, he was so knowledgeable, informative and such a delightful young man. A credit to Blue Fox Travel. Thank you for making our day so memorable. We recommend this tour as a very informative and emotional day yet very rewarding day.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We’re truly glad to hear you found the Somme tour so meaningful and memorable, and that Etienne made such a positive impression with his knowledge and care. Kind regards, - Alice
It is mainly catered towards Australian visitors as the focus was on Sir John Monash and the Australian effort. For somebody who is relatively new to the First World War, I was hoping it would be more general around WWI and that the guide would know more about the battle itself and not just little bits and facts about what happened here and there.
Thank you for your feedback. Please note that the Somme Battlefields from Paris tour is specifically focused on the Battle of the Somme and the events that took place there, which is why the guide concentrates on this particular battle and the Australian involvement. We also offer other war tours, such as our Normandy D-Day tours (USA or Canada focus), which provide a broader historical overview, while still highlighting the role and impact of American or Canadian soldiers during the war. Kind regards, - Alice
