Full Day Private Battle of the Somme Tour from Albert

Writing that Brigitte is superb is simply an understatement. She is well informed, and one wouldn't even notice that the tour is over. She is absolutely fabulous. She weaves history with literature - linking the Somme to Owen, Sassoon and Kipling. I do heartily recommend this tour.

Brigitte was, to use a few WWI phrases, "the cat's pajamas," the "nuts." She has all the traits of an expert guide: knowledge, patience, good humor, and, most of all, passion for her work. She made the desperate circumstances of those poor Tommies, Kiwis, Newfoundlanders, and Ausssies palpable in their struggles on the bloody Somme front of 1916. The others on our tour felt the same as I do. Brigitte is a local, so she knows the terrain like the back of her hand. She loves her job like she loves her native landscape. Do you want the Somme to come alive and grab you by the throat? Go on tour with Brigitte.

Had a one day tour with Brigitte discovering some of the key sites of the Somme area. I was in a small group with two other (lovely) people and it was simply fantastic. Brigitte is incredibly knowledgeable and has a lovely way of bringing the stories across to really help you understand things. I enjoyed every second of our time together and cannot recommend her highly enough.
