Testimonials

Trusted by families, historians and veterans.

“
I have been on several 'battlefield tours' and this was by far the most informative, personal and educational I have experienced. Our guide's knowledge and passion for history is second to none, and his understanding of the 1917 Battle for Vimy Ridge is both rich and detailed. Most impressive is his familiarity with the ground, a battlefield today largely hidden in plain sight.

Our guide is passionate and very enthusiastic about imparting his impressive knowledge and understanding of Canadians during the First World War. Whether for personal legacy or simple interest, I would highly recommend linking up with him and experiencing a unique and fascinating perspective of our Canadian history.

Our guide was waiting for us and had discovered where my uncle was killed, showed us the footsteps he walked, where he waited for battle orders, his medical history during his deployment and so much more. Our family is so grateful and we are very lucky our paths crossed!
