Somme Battlefield Tours Expert Led Historical Experiences

Excellent battlefield tour

Bart led an excellent day tour focused on the offensive on the southern part of the British sector of the Somme front from July to September 1916. The tour was well planned so that each stage of the battle was explained in sequence. Bart was able to take us to key locations and show the sites of important battlefield features including trenches and machine gun posts and strongpoints. This allowed us to understand at a high level of granularity how and why the battle developed as it did. Bart displayed great knowledge of the units involved and key individuals and how they fitted in to the overall story of the battle. Bart was friendly and approachable and focused on providing us with the best possible tour. We had an excellent packed lunch prepared by Bart’s wife Karen. Highly recommended.

Full day Somme 110th private tour

Could not have had a better tour!

Being a retired military member and a (very) amateur historian, I wanted to spend a day touring the Somme battlefields and walk the ground. Olivier did not disappoint! His knowledge of the multiple units, battles, and supporting history of the area was Ph.D level…punctuated with human interest stories of the most personal kind. His use of an iPad loaded with actual trench maps added an extraordinary level of greater understanding as we rode between front lines and from village to village. We had a long day from our start at St Quentin until the end to catch our train back to Paris and he never flagged. The next time we return to France, I will book Olivier to tour American battlefields that are nearby. His expertise extends to all the WWI battles in the Picardy area. Bottom Line: this is an outstanding experience and I highly recommend Olivier and Chemins d’Historie.
