Australia in WW1, the Somme
Our tour with Adrian was amazing, Adrian’s knowledge of events and dates was incredible. The trip took the whole day and was well worth every dollar spent. Highly recommend this trip to Australians who want to be immersed in the history of WW1 and what it meant to Australian soldiers and society in general.
An excellent and valuable tour by a knowledgeable, organised and genial guide. 5 stars.
There were two particular highlights. As an Australian, visiting the Australian War Memorial and Visitor Information centre was very moving and enlightening. The other highlight was seeing the preserved trenches at Beaumont Hamel and seeing how close the opposing soldiers were to each other and imagining the terrible carnage that took place there.
Régis was an excellent guide - very informative, organised, thorough, thoughtful and obliging. We were picked up on time and not a moment was wasted in a full day of exploration. We were delivered home safely having had an informative and thought provoking day.
