A group of us visited the Somme with The Battlefields Experience for 1st July. For many of our group this was their fifth or sixth visit to the Great War battlefields, but every member of our party, from the first time visitor to the most seasoned battlefield veteran, had to admit that having The Battlefields Experience as our guide was the best choice we could have made. The locations were brought to life, and the knowledge and expertise was fantastic. I would recommend them to anyone visiting the battlefields of France or Belgium.”

R. EDGAR, 2006


“I have to say that when people ask me what was the highlight of my trip to Paris, Venice and Rome I tell them it was the wonderful day we spent with Rod. His ability to relay the stories of the battles and the history which is so special to us, by the side of our great, great uncles' graves was very moving, and we particularly appreciated the quiet time of reflection we were able to have at each site. I finished the book Somme Mud by Peter Lynch and my understanding of the warfare was greatly enhanced by his explanation.”
