My two sons (aged 11 and 13) and I did a four-hour private tour of the Somme, the 1916 Museum, and the main sites in Albert. I could not recommend this tour more highly. Our guide, Brigitte, has a deep knowledge of WWI history and how the battle of the Somme played out over the years in the area, especially since she grew up there. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and she excelled at engaging my children and engaged them for the full four hours. She was incredibly accommodating of our interests and timeline as well. We got so much more out of our visit to see the Somme than we ever could have hoped to do on our own. Worth every penny. She created a wonderful, fascinating, and engaging afternoon in the French countryside that we will never forget.
Many thanks, Andrea for your great review, wishing you all, all the best, Brigitte
What a fantastic tour! Dianne was absolutely brilliant, so informative, it was a fascinating afternoon. I went with my wife and mother in law who wanted to find her grandfather’s name on the Thiepval memorial. You get so much more from a tour with a guide who is able to answer all those random questions that come to into your head! Dianne has since helped us to uncover a great deal of information regarding where he fought and even diary accounts from his final days. Thank you for a truly memorable afternoon!
Many thanks on her behalf. She thoroughly enjoyed her time with you too! Kind regards Brigitte
Booked travel and hotel to Albert upon receiving confirmation from Viator. Tour was cancelled 6pm the night before because guide was already booked and I shouldn’t have been able to book it.
Hello Donald, this is the very first time I have had to cancel a tour; again I am very sorry. This is a busy time and your booking arrived 3 days before the tour was due and I simply forgotten to close my calendar. If I can make it up to you, please say so, I will be happy to take you another day, free of charge Kind regards, Brigitte
Brigitte was an excellent guide and being born locally had many insights of a personal nature which gave a different perspective to our guide book
Many thanks Eric, for your review All the best, Brigitte
A great experience with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. A fantastic half day giving an insight into events on the Somme.
Many thanks Paul for your lovely review! Sending you my very best for Christmas and the coming year.Brigitte
This was a fantastic tour, which was personalised to suit the interests of my family. Would highly recommend. Thank you
Many thanks for your review All the best, Brigitte
Our tour guide, Brigitte, was wonderful and so knowledgeable! We went on the tour because my son graduated with a degree in history and wanted to learn more about WWI. He said the tour was the best part of our trip to France. I would highly recommend Brigitte to anyone wanting a personal tour guide for WWI. She was simply incredible!!!
Many thanks Diane, for your lovely review All the best, Brigitte
We have just returned from the most informative and interesting Battle of Somme tour with Brigitte! It was perfectly tailored to my two sons age 9 & 10. They were fascinated throughout, learning new things in Museum 2016, visiting Lochnagar crater, Thiepval Memorial (where Brigitte successfully showed us how to find family members with our surname) and going into the preserved trenches. I would encourage anyone to book a tour with Brigitte, you learn so much more than doing it by yourself, especially if you have limited time. Also, we came by train so Brigitte was able to drive us everywhere. Thank you so much for such a fantastic experience, Brigitte - l am sure the boys will remember this for the rest of their lives!
A very delayed thanks for your lovely review.. sorry. Hope you have a joyful Christmas and a fantastic year ahead! Brigitte
Fabulous, lots of knowledge about the NZ soldiers we were searching for. Brigette was great she organized the tour around us and our specific quests, surprising us with details only a local could know and clearly explain. We would not hesitate in recommending Brigette for 5 stars. Thank you very much Brigette. Sue & Phil
Many thanks for your lovely review! All the best Brigitte
Brigette was fantastic - so knowledgeable and interesting. It was 36 degrees today, and she checked with us in advance that we were still OK to go ahead with the tour. She brought water for us and sought out the shady spots where she could. Brigette's English is brilliant, her explanations of the Somme, the Battle itself, events leading up to it and the total devastation that followed really brought everything to life. We would thoroughly recommend this tour, particularly if Bridgette is leading it!
