We scheduled an all day Verdun tour with Cecil and it was amazing. This was our son’s idea and we loved our guide’s enthusiasm and knowledge of the area! Highly recommend.

Cecil did a great job with as short amount of time. He picked us up from the train station and gave us an overview before the tour. He was flexible in showing us what we wanted to see and was very knowledgeable about history and geography. Highly recommend if you're wanting to learn from a very personable and knowledgeable guide

Cecil went above and beyond to give us a great tour. We missed our train, and he went an hour and a half out of his way to pick us up. He knows the area and the history. Highly recommend.

Cecil was great! He brought the Verdun battlefield to life with his in-depth knowledge of not only the tactics and complex development of the conflict but also his anecdotes about ordinary soldiers and the horrors they endured. Cecil is personable, has a good sense of humor and can chat about any topic. I enjoyed his company and appreciate the preparation he clearly puts in to his battlefield tours.

Our tour of Verdun by Cecil could not have been any more informative and eye-opening about this deadly battle. Our French grandfather had received the medal of Verdun, where he fought at age 19, and was captured by the Germans. We wanted to find out more about this moment in history, and try to imagine our grandfather's ordeal, which he thankfully survived. Cecil is a wonderful tour guide, filling us in on all the history, and driving us to the battlefield and monuments in memory of the dead. The highlight was Cecil taking us to the office that keeps filing cabinets full of index cards for each of the soldiers who fought and received the medal of Verdun. Cecil found not just our grandfather, but his two brothers who also received the medal of Verdun. This office is open very infrequently and Cecil made the effort to get us there during the few hours it was open. As a guide he went beyond our expectations, with intelligence, knowledge of his field, and a good sense of humor.
