Our tour guide, Brigitte, was wonderful and so knowledgeable! We went on the tour because my son graduated with a degree in history and wanted to learn more about WWI. He said the tour was the best part of our trip to France. I would highly recommend Brigitte to anyone wanting a personal tour guide for WWI. She was simply incredible!!!

We have just returned from the most informative and interesting Battle of Somme tour with Brigitte! It was perfectly tailored to my two sons age 9 & 10. They were fascinated throughout, learning new things in Museum 2016, visiting Lochnagar crater, Thiepval Memorial (where Brigitte successfully showed us how to find family members with our surname) and going into the preserved trenches. I would encourage anyone to book a tour with Brigitte, you learn so much more than doing it by yourself, especially if you have limited time. Also, we came by train so Brigitte was able to drive us everywhere. Thank you so much for such a fantastic experience, Brigitte - l am sure the boys will remember this for the rest of their lives!

Fabulous, lots of knowledge about the NZ soldiers we were searching for. Brigette was great she organized the tour around us and our specific quests, surprising us with details only a local could know and clearly explain. We would not hesitate in recommending Brigette for 5 stars. Thank you very much Brigette. Sue & Phil

Brigette was fantastic - so knowledgeable and interesting. It was 36 degrees today, and she checked with us in advance that we were still OK to go ahead with the tour. She brought water for us and sought out the shady spots where she could. Brigette's English is brilliant, her explanations of the Somme, the Battle itself, events leading up to it and the total devastation that followed really brought everything to life. We would thoroughly recommend this tour, particularly if Bridgette is leading it!

Bridgette was amazing, we found her very passionate about the region and she was very flexible helping us find the war grave of a great uncle. Would not hesitate to recommend her as a guide in the Somme area.

Absolutely fantastic private guided tour of the Somme by Brigitte; her knowledge and enthusiasm shone through. We gained so much information about all the commonwealth countries during the battle from this lady as we visited the main sites around the Somme. I would highly recommend any tours she offers and, if I have an extended visit to the area, I would definitely contact her again. Thank you again Brigitte.

Organised the trip for my son who missed out on a school trip earlier in the year. Fantastic guide who had great knowledge and adapted appropriately.

Brigitte was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. She is a true native of the area and shared her personal perspective

It was pouring with rain but I found that it was just the right background on which to visit these sad locations. the rain and mud made it a bit easier to imagine the plight of all the young boys who lived – or didn't – through that horrible ordeal. Our guide, Brigitte De Cuyper, was lovely, very kind, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
