This day tour was amazing and informative. Claude is an excellent guide and understand his subject well.
Thank you very much, Jenis, for the nice comment. I am glad you enjoyed the day. Claude
Visiting Vimy Ridge was a very moving experience. As a Canadian very proud of the men that fought to gain this ridge. So very sad that so many had to lose their lives in doing so. Our guide, Claude, was very knowledgeable about this Vimy Ridge history, but also the history of all the other memorials we visited. He allowed us the time we wanted to experience each site and that is why we wanted a personal tour. He had answers to the many questions we had. It is a memory we will treasure forever.
Thank you, Anne, for the nice comment. Claude Verhaeghe
The Vimy Monument is so moving. To walk in the footsteps of my grandfather was a amazing experience.
Thank you, Rupert, for the nice comment. Claude Verhaeghe
Impressive war memorial of THE BATTLE of ARRAS in memory of the Canadian fallen. The site also contains preserved trenches and bunkers. We must never forget WWI
Dank u, Dirk, voor het plaatsen van het commentaar. Claude Verhaeghe
It was a good lesson in history and a reminder of the sacrifices these young men and women made! We were left reflecting on the tremendous losses!
Hi Gordon, thank you I appreciate your comment. Claude
We had a wonderful day with Claude in July 2018. Started with easy communication with Claude during the booking process, and while I had mentioned I would have my daughters with me I had not specifically requested any carseats, and yet he very thoughtfully brought a perfect carseat for my youngest. We received a lot of great information during our day, he kept all of us very interested including even my kids. The visit to the Vimy tunnels was especially great for the kids, as well as the great walk around Beaumont-Hamel. The lunch was yummy and kid-friendly. My husband and I learned a lot and got exactly what we had wanted from our day, which was to learn much more about the WWI experience of Canadians.
Hi Nicola, thank you very much for your nice comment. Claude
Full day tour from the foot of the TGV to the trenches -tunnels with an incredible guide of wealth, private tour Alone with SOREN , our guide who passed on his knowledge, not calculating his time, available and remarkably effective this guided tour is highly cultural, meditative and commemorative.
Thank you very much for the nice comment. Claude
We took this tour with Claude in October 2017 , he was a terrific host and guide. Claude is very knowledgeable and the tour was well organized including lunch . We requested a tour of the Canadian sites in particular, and saw them all with some additions to round out the experience. A very informative and satisfying day. Thank you Claude !
Thank you for the nice comment. Claude
<p>This excursion was completely over and above anything we expected!<br/> Claude, our guide, is top notch. Very knowledgeable and helpful.<br/> We would highly recommend this excursion.</p>
<p>Our guide, Claude, was outstanding. We originally planned to tour the WW1 sites by ourselves, but opted for the tour. Solo would have been very difficult due to poor signage and other factors. The tour was good value and well worth the money. We departed from Lille. Claude was knowledgeable!</p>
