Brigitte our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable and helpful and took us to places we did not expect to see as well as the very imposing Vimy Ridge monument. We toured the tunnels, and some war cemeteries , Canadian, British, and German. Highly recommended for all.

A “must do” Experience for Canadians

Published on May, 2024

Our guide, Brigette, was able to set the scene for our full day that culminated at the Canadian Memorial at Vimy Ridge. The morning was spent visiting the vast cemeteries (German, Commonwealth, French), a quirky museum of artifacts, and a charming lunch stop. Thank you!
