Gwendol is incredibly knowledgeable and describes the history of Verdun and the surrounding area during World War I in a very captivating manor. We learned an incredible amount about this important time in history and highly recommend this tour
Gwendal was a wonderful guide. He had so much information and so passionate. He tailored the tour for our interests and was so pleasant. Would definitely recommend!
It is better to have a guide rather than do it on your own. He pointed out many sites that we did not know about.
Very impressive. Knowledgeable and pleasant guide. Sad story of what people can do to each other. We don't learn anything from it. Should be compulsory visits for all European school pupils.
The drive and knowledge where to stop, what was there to see. This was most helpful. The museum and Ossuary are incredible. The driver/guide did an amazing job at showing us the sights and points of interest. This was great and intimate experience for my family ( 2 adult a 12 and 9 year old). We were the only ones on this tour. The Mercedes van was very comfortable. This tour did only a drive by of the city of Verdun, so be aware of that. Had to take photo of the gate from vehicle at rolling speed.
Knowledgeable and friendly guide who made our day trip to Verdun worthwhile, informative , and meaningful. Thank you so much!
Our Verdun battlefield tour was a deeply educational and memorable experience. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, providing insightful details that brought the history of the area to life. We left with a much greater appreciation of the events that took place, thanks to his expertise and engaging descriptions.
Dear Vicki, It was a pleasure. I’m glad you appreciated the tour. Regards, Gwendal
We had a wonderful trip to the Verdun battlefield today. Gwendal took us to the key battle sites, monuments and museums. It gave us a strong sense of how this horrific battle played out between the French and the Germans. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your nice comment. It was a pleasure to tour on the battlefield with you. All the best to you.
The guide was amazing. His knowledge was very broad, and his interest in discussing WW1 topics was phenomenal. He was kind enough to come pick us up at the apartment we had rented in Verdun and the tour lasted 8+ hours. We visited around 9 different locations, and this was so much inspiration that we could have spent the next 3 days revisiting a lot of those places. Our impression was that you can get the tour adjusted to the pace you need. We wanted to see as much as possible, so that is what we got. But with the guide's knowledge, you can easily spend more time at each site.
Thank you for your lovely comment and for this day past to discuss about history. Kind regards
Amazing tour! Gwendal was incredibly knowledgeable on all facets of Verdun and clearly painted the picture of the battlefield. We would have loved to take his Champagne tour as well, but just ran out of time. We will definitely return! Highlight recommend!
Great thanks, it was a pleasure to spend that historic day with you. Regards
