A brilliant tour. Communication Cecil responded promptly and efficiently to all emails and Whatsapp in arranging the details of the tour. His written and verbal English is excellent. Planning Cecil planned a great 1/2 day tour hitting all of the highlights for us, adapting the tour to meet the mobility needs of the group. Knowledge Cecil's knowledge of WWI, the Battle of Verdun, the geopolitical forces before, during and after the war was very impressive. He gave us both broad sweeps of the war yet conveyed intimate details of soldier's stories to make the tour deeply emotional. We've done several battlefield tours in the past few years, Ypres, the Somme, Gallipoli and Normandy and Cecil has been by far the best tour guide. It was a privilege to spend time in his company.

Cecil gave us an incredible tour of the Verdun area. The communication was excellent, starting well before our visit by getting to know our interests. He recommended an itinerary that limited our walking, which was something we needed. He is very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about WWI history and shared lots of amazing stories. I think he also gave an honest assessment of what sites were worth our time and what sites we could skip. We spent an entire day and it worked fantastically to take the train from Paris to Meuse, where Cecil met us to start the tour. By doing this, he was able to show us a historic and important road that many visitors miss when they start the tour in Verdun. Super reasonable price for the tour and very personalized. Don’t hesitate to book with Cecil.

Cecil was a superb guide, speaking very good English and giving us a large amount of detailed information about all the sites we visited over the nine hour tour. He answered detailed questions and was a fount of knowledge. Couldn’t have been more enjoyable.

Cecil was well informed, articulate and well planned for the time we had to spend with him! He took us to all the highlights of the Verdun battlefields and several extras.

Together with Cecil we had an amazing tour experience. The full description of the history and the battle together with the full tour of the forts and the battlefield will be unforgettable!
