We had the most amazing Tour guide/driver Philipe. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about this tour and he made it for a great day out even though it was not the best weather on the day! We nearly got blown away at a couple spots but we were lucky rain held off long enough to do tour which was a bonus! It rained all the way back which wouldn’t have been ideal for Philipe to drive in. He was a character and we enjoyed his company & commentary throughout our Tour. He made it a totally enjoyable and memorable day. Can’t thank you enough Philipe and I hope your Company passes on our heartfelt thanks 🙏 this is a tour I thoroughly recommend people take the time to do. Many thanks Philipe & Blue Fox Travel.

This was a fabulous tour out to the Somme with a focus on Australian sites. Our guide Clement was so knowledgeable and professional. His friendly demeanour meant we felt comfortable to ask questions and it made the trip more enjoyable. We were able to visit a number of sites and this along with Clements commentary gave me a much clearer concept of WW1 and especially the Australians part in it. Thanks Clement for a terrific day⭐️

Our Somme tour was a great experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a genuine interest in the places and points of significant interest. We learnt so much and shared our own family histories and war stories. Our guide took us to some great places for lunch and morning tea which also had there own unique stories. It was one of our favourite things to do in France. I highly recommend this tour.

Atien was pur tourguide and he was very professional and knowledgeable He explained each site as we arrived and was very approachable for any questions. He went above and beyond when the weather turned to rain. My husband is passionate about war history and it was wonderful to see how the Aussies were involved and to 'walk in their shoes' so to speak.

This tour is one of the best holiday experiences I’ve ever had. Our guide Frankie was outstanding, he showed and told us about so many small things we would not have otherwise known, and we were able to take it all in at our own pace. The volume of places we visited was excellent and really inclusive and made for an intense, emotional but incredible full day that was worth every penny. I would absolutely do this again and 100% recommend it.

Was a great experience to see what the Aussie troops contributed to beat the German army. I feel that the price was expensive as there were no entry costs involved. Lunch should have been included, not an added expense

Despite being a very long day, the tour and particularly the tour guide were excellent. Things were explained in an informative and compassionate manner.

An expensive tour because of the AUD exchange rate. Lunch at Tommy's restaurant was disappointing & should have been included in the price ,(excluding drinks). Otherwise an enjoyable day.
