アミアン発オーストラリア戦場跡巡り終日ツアー

Thus was a bucket list item for me - and the entire process was brilliant , from booking to the actual tour was perfect. The communications was clear from the start and the overall tour was perfect. I cannot recommend this enough from an Australian point of view, Barbara (my guide) was so professional and clearly explained everything and the tour did not feel rushed. If you are an Australian looking for a Guided tour of WWI Battlefields then this is the one you want.

As an Australian who has read about Australia's involvement in the First World War, and especially their involvement on the Western Front, this was an exceptional tour and to see where they fought and the commemorations to those who fought the Germans is a very emotional experience. Our guide, Brigitte, was very knowledgeable and was an exceptional guide. A great day and an experience any Australian should not miss.

Brigitte de Cuyper from Get‑a‑Guide was born and raised in the Villers‑Bretonneux area, and her deep local knowledge shines through. She speaks beautiful English, has a playful sense of humour that we Aussies really appreciated, and explains everything in clear, simple terms. Brigitte collected us from our hotel in Amiens at 9am and returned us at 6pm. The day was absolutely packed with visits to significant sites, and at each stop she took the time to explain exactly what had happened there. She brought maps, photos, and well‑researched material to help us understand the events and the experiences of both the soldiers and the local people caught up in the wars. I cannot recommend Brigitte highly enough. The tour was excellent value, and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with her and hearing her recount the history with such clarity and passion. It’s obvious she dedicates a great deal of time to research, and we couldn’t fault a single thing. Without a guide, we would have seen the memorials and signage — but Brigitte’s explanations made everything far more meaningful. Thank you for your fabulous work Brigitte.

This tour was worth every cent. It was informative, educational and made relevant to us as Australians due to Brigitte’s professional and knowledgeable manner. I have done many tours in my time and this was above and beyond.

Absolutely incredible, but very sobering. To see and understand how so many people gave their lives to help another country will live with us forever. Our guide, Brigitte, had an unbelievable knowledge of WW1 history, recounting some amazing facts and true stories of life in the trenches 110 years ago.

Brigitte was the most knowledgeable and informative tour guide I’ve seen. The tour is a must for any Australian wanting to get a sense of the Australian sacrifices made in WW1. A great experience, highly recommended.

Brigitte was the best guide we’ve had. Very passionate and informative. Assisted us with finding our relatives from WWI. The best full day tour I’ve experienced

Briggette was a fantastic an knowledgeable guide, she kept us engaged and ensured we were having a good time

First of all the tour can be very personalised. If you are staying at Amiens, it is possiible that Brigitte will pick you up at your hotel. Ask her. Viator says pick up is at the Holiday Inn but this is a fall back position. If you use this, wait in the foyer and not on the road where the tour buses park like we did. Second, if you have relatives buried in the general area of the tour, Brigitte may be able to add those cemetaries to the tour. Ask her. Thirdly, if you have details of your relatives then Brigitte will do some research and may be able put your relative's actions and sacrifice into context. I didn't and Brigette spent time while we were in the John Monash centre looking up details on my two ancestors. Advise her. The other thing that may not be immediately apparent is that the tour vehicle is seven seater ie Brigitte plus six, and no more than four is the preference so the tour is quite focussed. In this case the tour was Australia focussed so many of the battle sites where Australians fought were visited and a compelling and vivid narrative described those action from the perspective of both sides. Our tour ended up being rushed at the end, and perhaps shortened, due to the other party's train arrangements but I do not feel that we were shortchanged. If you are intetested in Australia's actions and Australian sacrifices made in France during World War 1, then this is the value for money tour for you.

Brigitte was very friendly and informative. She had many visuals that helped to explain the sights we visited. She has an extensive local knowledge and knew some great places to visit. Brigitte was also easy to talk to and never boring. There were umbrellas for us to borrow as well.
