Two of us spent a day with Cecil touring the WWI sites around Verdun.

Cecil was easy to work with in coordinating the day and very flexible in scheduling.  Communication was excellent throughout the process.  Excellent English skills!

Cecil quickly got a sense of our level of familiarity with the history of the battles in the area and adapted his information appropriately.   It was truly an informative and rewarding day.  Cecil is personable, highly knowledgeable & we enjoyed the time spent in his company.

I would use his services again & highly recommend him to anyone looking for a guide in the Verdun area

Cecil picked up our family of four adults at the TGV Meuse train station 9:00 a.m. on 3 September 2019. His vehicle is comfortable for four adults and provides good views while driving. He had us back in time for our 6:54 p.m. return train to Paris. In between we had a fantastic day touring first Verdun and then the Argonne battlefields. Cecil will customize your visit, but we did his standard tour which hit all the key spots we were hoping to see. Cecil is quite knowledgeable about the battles (I had read Alistair Horne's: The Price of Glory, Verdun 1916 a few months before), tells the basic story well, and illustrates many key visual elements along the way, all while professionally guiding the sites. The last stop of the day was Vauquois which was a fascinating unexpected gem! We highly recommend Cecil!

We found Cecil thru our hotel and booked him far in advance and were delighted we did so.  He picked us up in car at the hotel and the adventure began.  His English is excellent and his knowledge of the battles of Verdun is unsurpassed.  He recalled that on the first Sunday of each month, we could tour the Butte de Vacquois.   We had not heard of this site and it was absolutely fascinating.  The volunteer guides were also very professional and Cecil was an excellent translator.   From there, we saw as much as we could cram into the space of one day, stopping for lunch in a private museum to WWI that also served wonderful sandwiches.  At the end of the day, we shared a drink with Cecil to review our day.  If you plan on touring the battlefields of Verdun, be sure to get Cecil!

If you want to tour Verdun, you simply must book Cecil now. My wife and two sons, age 20 and 13, thouroughly enjoyed Cecil's tour. We all became freinds instantly. We hit the main spots and also a few places off the beaten path. Cecil has a lot of knowledge of the area and his enthusiam for history is apparent. I would book this tour again.

My son and I took a tour in April with Cecil 

We had a fantastic day 

Cecil was very knowledgeable answering all off our questions and also debating with us about our thoughts on the area also giving us a great laugh coming from Northern Ireland and he had never met anyone from there getting to grips with our accent gave us a great laugh all day 

We also had our own planned agenda that was different to his normal tour and there was no problem for him letting us go to some places not planned spending as long as we wanted looking round 

Can’t recommend  Cecil highly enough when we go back he will be our guide 100%

5 Star 100% tour 

GREAT TOUR GUIDE ...........GREAT GUY
