A long day but full of interest, Gwendal was an excellent guide showing us places we would not have seen if we had travelled alone
A long day but full of interest, Gwendal was an excellent guide showing us places we would not have seen if we had travelled aloneGwendal did a great job of guiding us around the various sites associated with the Battle of Verdun. We appreciated his familiarity with the military history and landscape and enjoyed his company. Having him as a guide was a definite asset.

Gwendyl was very knowledgeable about the battle at verdun. He has a nice coherent tour planned. I really appreciate that he covid tests every other day- i think he should sell that message.

The tour was fantastic. Gwendyl firstly speaks excellent English and his communication before and during the tour is impeccable.Transportation was smooth to and from the hotel in a comfortable and very clean vehicle. He is also flexible within reason. Top highlights: 1. Gwendyl did a fantastic job of bringing history to life. He started the tour showing us troop movements on a map and why certain areas were of military importance. It gave us a sense of direction and bearings on where we were in each stop. He is very knowledgeable and the tour is very organized. 2. There is nothing that can describe the area that was ravished by this war. The lumps and bumps. The craters from the bombs. The trenches still visible after over 100 years. 3. The loss was staggering. The Ossuary and graveyards solidified this. Whole towns gone. Land still unusable. 4. The old forts and bunkers are super cool. 5. The museum is fantastic. It really brings home what you witnessed throughout the day. We liked it a lot. The movies and stories. 6. My teen really liked it. Be prepared for a long day of being outside. We went in December and it was still enjoyable. The countryside is gorgeous too. I am so glad we chose to do this. It’s important to know history. I can’t say enough good things about this your.Gwendal is a fantastic guide. He really knows the history and brings it to life.

Gwendal is a fantastic guide. He really knows the history and brings it to life. The landscape is not changed and you can still see all the craters from bombs and the trenches. The old forts and bunkers are pretty cool. The museum is really well done too. I like how he took the time to explain with a map before we started. To see the location of Germans and French. To see the movements and why certain places were wanted by the troops. So many lost their lives here and it’s important to know history. My teen liked it too. Pick up and drop off were smooth. Gwendal was great with communication too before and during the tour. This was one of my favorite things we did in France. There is so much history in this country. Also the countryside is gorgeous. Even in winter.
