Amazing day

Published on Aug, 2024

Our family of 7 had an amazing time on this tour and would recommend it to anyone wanting to see the battlefields and history of WWI our tour guide extraordinaire Sylvester was so knowledgeable and took his time to walk us through an amazing day. Truly worth your time. Only downside of our trip was how long our lunch break was at the cottage we would rather spend more time at the vimmy site.

Emotionally the British and French memorial, the Canadian memorials are beautifully kept and the rangers so friendly and interesting. The big craters, searching in newly harvested fields for shrapnel and parts of mortar shells it is a full on day but do so worth it Our guide Sylvestre was so knowledgeable, friendly and met our pace during the day without missing anything !
