Vimy Ridge: Ihre private Gedenk-Tour ab Arras/Lens

Michel war sehr gut informiert über die Gegend und sein Englisch war sehr gut. Das Denkmal ist eine wunderschöne Hommage in einem Wald von Bäumen, die jeweils gepflanzt wurden, um einen der gefallenen Kanadier darzustellen. Eine Reise, die wir alle machen müssen

Our driver/guide Michel was excellent—picked us up right on time and advised us as to what to do and what to see upon arrival at the Vimy Ridge Memorial. We took different routes to and from our destination. Michel provided a historical perspective as well as insight into the ongoing ties between Canada and France. We visited Commonwealth cemeteries and noted difference amongst the resting places of Commonwealth/French/German soldiers. Merci beaucoup, Michel!

Our driver Michel, was very professional and informative. He was on time and spoke good English which we appreciated. He pointed out various landmarks and monuments to and from Vimy.

Thank You Michael for providing such a wonderful service ! Michael's Car was very comfortable for the approximate 30 minute journey to the site. Michael is very engaging, and I geniunely enjoyed our conversation. His knowledge of the area's history during wartime is extensive and made for a thoroughly enjoyable trip !

Michel brought myself, my mum, and my two aunts to Vimy Ridge from the Arras train station and everything went smoothly. Michel is from the region and full of knowledge of WWI. After 3 hours at the site he picked us up and drove us back a different way to see some additional sites. He also dropped us in the Arras city centre to explore before getting back on the train. All of this to say: I would highly recommend Michel to others. By the way, the Vimy Ridge centre does not have any cantine aside from vending machines, so pack a snack! There is also not much at the Arras station if you are coming from there.

We had a fabulous transfer and informational tour of Vimy Ridge, Arras and the surrounding area. Michel is very knowledgeable, timely and we definitely recommend his services. We toured Vimy Ridge for 3 hours and spent another hour with Michel who showed us cemeteries and local sights. Michel really knows the area and all the events that have occurred there.

Michel is a very knowledgeable guide who has a deep interest in history, perfect for this tour. We appreciated seeing the different military cemeteries on both the trip out and back; this deepened our knowledge. The Canadian WW1 memorial at Vimy is extremely moving and well worth visiting.

I highly recommend Michael. He was reliable, on time and a wonderful tour guide. The whole experience was very smooth. He also took us to numerous cemeteries and points of interest on the way to and from Vimy Ridge and gave us a lot of extra information and history of the area.

Michel was excellent and we could not recommend him more. On top of taking us to Vimy he showed us many of the other World War I cemeteries and the new monument to the Christmas truce. We learned far more and it was more impactful than we could have hoped for.

Michel was prompt, pleasant and very informative. Additionally he added a lot of historical context to the tour which gave us a better understanding of the History of the battles in the local area.
