Very pleasant and knowledgeable guide

Reviewed October 2, 2019

Cecil took good care of our group of 15 people from Finland, all interested in history. We saw many WWI battlefield sites and the Douaumont fort in Verdun. He was well liked by the people. He gave us good information of the places we saw, and let a specialist guide show us around in the fort. He was a little uncertain about timing as it concerns the meal timing of a large group, but we managed to catch up, without sacrificing content. All in all, a very good job. I recommend him.

Outstanding day in Verdun

Reviewed October 1, 2019

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

Fantastic Day at Verdun and Argonne Battlefields with Cecil!

Reviewed September 15, 2019

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!
