Cecil was great with our 13 yr old WW1 expert as we toured Verdun and associated sites and monuments.

Cecil took us on a two-day tour of the Verdum battlefields. I suspect a lot of people could read about the history and show others around. But Cecil is passionate about what he does and what he wants to show others. We saw the major sites, but we also saw the small, personal sites that really brought out the emotions of the time. WWI was over 100 years ago, but its story remains relevant. Cecil brought it to life for us. It touched me in a way I hadn't imagined, and it is all because of Cecil's knowledge and caring. If/when we come back, we will definitely be getting a 2nd tour from him. Cecil, on behalf of my son and me, thank you so much.
The trip around the Verdun battle field was a great way to get a good overview of the battle, its progress over time in 1916 and how the warring parties developed. Cecil is a very good guide, knowledgable on the area and the history, adding a lot of texture to the story and its horrors. We can highly recommend him!
