"It was a great trip, we had an amazing group on the tour and Mat, Richard and Kristof really did a fantastic job. A great 'taster' for going back to the area - which we will!"

---

"I really enjoyed the tour; it was something I always wanted to do. Mat's knowledge was very impressive."

---

"The best holiday experience I have had. I would happily recommend this tour and look forward to doing it again in a couple of years' time with my son."

---

"We found the tour to be very enjoyable, the highlight being the dawn service on Anzac Day. It was a moving experience. Having read a great deal about World War I it was fantastic to see the areas where battles were fought and a real eye opener to see how small the areas, where millions, including Australians died serving their country. Mat was a very competent war historian with lots of information and always willing to go the extra yard in terms of details. We were not disappointed."

---

"I thoroughly enjoyed the tour - the mix of people made the sights and sites even more enjoyable. The company has many strengths - Richard is a 'gem', Kristof, solid, personable and professional and Mat is a well-informed drawcard. As a 'chalky' I would award a High Achievement."

---

"A very special and moving experience. A well-planned and executed tour. I had high expectations and was not disappointed."

---

"The whole package was excellent, given the very reasonable cost involved. Time spent in each location was good and the mix of activities between battlefields and sightseeing was well thought out and catered admirably for the mixed group. Personnel were top drawer. Richard and Mat were both very knowledgeable and nothing was a problem for either. I have no hesitation in recommending this tour for all age groups."

---

"I am very pleased that I did the tour and I learnt a lot about the history of our country. I intend to learn more by more reading and by going to the Canberra War Memorial. Thank you for having me and for opening up this interest. I would recommend the tour to my friends."

---

"The Historians were excellent, entertaining and inspiring. They were able to impart the big picture view of the major tactics, battles and Australia’s part in them."

---

"It was an excellent, well-organised tour. We enjoyed the company of some wonderful people and considerably improved our knowledge of France, Belgium and World War 1."

---

"Peter Smith was an excellent historian and his ability to convey information to someone who didn’t know much about the battlefields of the Western Front was invaluable. I would recommend him as a guide to anyone interested in this type of tour."

---

"I found everything about this tour well above what I expected. I would thoroughly recommend this tour company to anyone."
