23rd September 2023Review ratingWe found the whole tour both informative and moving. Our guide Steve was amazing at the level of knowledge he possessed. If he didn’t know an answer he would research it. The coach was comfortable and made getting around easy. The first 2 accomodation places were nice and well situated. Unfortunately the last hotel whilst clean and well presented lacked the basic amenities like air conditioning and had a very small bathroom. This was apparently due to the normal hotel being booked out. Otherwise we would recommend this tour to anyone who has a deep interest in WW1.
