We contacted Phil via website while in Arras, just on the off chance he could help us locate a relative’s WW1 grave site.
Not only did he help, he tailored a half day tour to our needs. He is very knowledgeable on ANZACs in North of France. We would recommend Phil to any Aussie or Kiwi thinking of visiting the battlefields.

We did the day tour of The Somme and surrounding battlefield areas with Phil and it was AWESOME!
Phil has a vast amount of knowledge about all the battles and if you have relatives that fought in the Great War he finds out about them.
We spent the Full day with him starting in Arras, so we had to travel up from Paris which is so easy. Takes you around 45 mins on the train from the Gare du Nord.
Thanks to Phil we now know a lot more about the details of the war and how Very Proud we are of the Australian part we took in it and how little we get credited with!

Thanks so much for the excellent day we spent with you last week, it will live in our memories for a long time to come. It was great to have such an informative and fun Aussie guide and we couldn’t have hoped for more from the day we spent with you.

We really enjoyed our time with you and appreciated your knowledge and information so well imparted on our tour.

Thanks again for yesterday,  we really enjoyed the experience and the trip.

Thanks Phil for all your efforts yesterday we both had a great time, your detailed information on the subject has given us immense clarity on the devastation and suffering that occurred in this region all that time ago and in particular an understanding on the last days of Lance-Corporal George Wells!!
Cheers

Thanks for your wonderful company over the last few days.  I really enjoyed the tours and learnt a lot from your hive of information.  I was very moved by the whole experience on the battlefields and will be doing a lot more research when I get back to Sydney and will be able to look at the documentaries on the war with new eyes!

Thank you again Phil. A very enjoyable day. “You did good” mate.

Thanks so much Phil. We so much enjoyed both our days and thank you for making it so special and for all the research you did on great uncle Rowley. We  have been on many tours here and there and this one was right on top. Your knowledge and enthusiasim was over and above the call of duty. We have just spent two days that we will never forget.

The family had a wonderful time and meant a lot to them!
