Customer Reviews

    · May 8th, 2025
    A very comprehensive tour of World War 1 western front battlefield sites and cemeteries with an emphasis on the ANZAC involvement led by a very knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed the tour with the highlight of course being the dawn service at the Australian War memorial at Villers Bretonneux. If any improvements were to be made more time could have been spent explaining what we were going to see while on the bus travelling to a site rather than explaining the same when we got to a site would have meant less time standing around listening at the site and more time to explore the site. Also at times it felt like we were driving around in circles. The hotel accommodation except at Amiens was good. The hotel at Amiens was charitably speaking very average although the location was excellent.
