When planning travel there are always certain unknowns.  Taking a chance on booking a tour guide is one of those unknowns.  However, it is with the utmost confidence and support that I write this review concerning Cecil Graf and his work in the area at Verdun, France.  He promptly arrived at the arranged time and location fully prepared with maps and explanations to ensure our needs were met.  His working knowledge of the area is extensive, and he provided deep coverage of this most historic location that both an expert (my husband) and a novice (me) could appreciate.  He was enjoyable to be around, willing to listen, looked for ways to enhance our day together, and was all-around a fantastic guide.  I encourage anyone interested in this historic location to consider booking time with Cecil.  You will NOT be disappointed.  He works to continuously add to his knowledge thus providing more information to his clients.  This event was not only informational, but also enjoyable, and Cecil had a great deal to do with it.     

This tour was exceptional for both those familiar with the conflict and those with a vague understanding. Cecil was very knowledgeable and could go deep into many areas.

The tour is non-stop but tailored to your interest and physical abilities. The trenches and monuments require some ability to manover. But it’s doable.

Cecil was spirited and engaging. Also fun to listen to his views on France’s culture and history. 

We enjoyed the trip it exceeded our expectations.

On 19 Apr 19, under outstanding weather, I fully enjoyed an excellent tour of several areas of the Verdun battlefield area. The group consisted of myself, mainly english speaking and my son-in-law, mainly french speaking.  Cecil was informative, friendly, and an excellent guide. knowledge still has some holes in his overall knowledge, but is obviously eager to learn. Can certainly recommend Cecil.
