Our trip to the Somme to visit the battlefields where the Australians fought was a truly humbling experience and one that I would recommend all Australians to do in their lifetime. You will never forget. Our tour guide Slyvestre was extremely knowledgeable on the conflicts and history. We were truly humbled by this experience and thank Slyvestre for his company. In closing, the Sir John Monash museum at Villers-Bretonneux is a must see.

What an amazing tour. Sylvester, our guide, was fantastic. No crowds, no time pressure and so accommodating. Even went out of his way to take us to a family member's grave at Dernancour cemetery. Had lunch at a lovely little Cafe with gluten free options. Great tour and would recommend it to any Aussie touring Paris.

We had a great day with Sylvestre who was extremely knowledgeable. Visiting the Australian memorial at Villers-Bretonneux and finding my husband's great Uncle’s name was a very special moment.
