      Fantastic Day Visiting Meuse Argonne Battle Sites
      I took the Meuse Argonne VIP trip with Régis. An ancestor fought and died during the offensive and is buried in the Meuse Argonne American Cemetery. Régis is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and tailored the well-planned, full-day itinerary to meet my interests. He continued to provide valuable follow-up information after the trip. There’s no way I could have done this on my own. I highly recommend Adrien Roads for your French battlefield visit.

      Normandy travels
      A great place to visit when visiting the area. The bunker complex is large and you can enter some of the buildings. Parking is good and there are information boards on the site.

      Great tour, great guide who is passionate and knowledgeable
      Régis is an incredibly knowledgeable guide who planned out our day perfectly. He taught us all so much more about the areas we were walking on and left us with a thirst to learn more. Thank Régis

      A very moving experience
      What an amazing place! It commands a spectacular view and pays homage to the fallen diggers. The interactive experience in the John Monash Centre was very moving. The cafe was quite good.

      Huge disappointment
      Charged for 2, when I spoke with agent they assured me I could book for 1 and a voucher would be emailed. No voucher, no follow-up confirmation, just a cancellation. Tour operator doesn’t answer their phone - zero stars. Don’t trust the agent. Confirm and reconfirm again; maybe you can book the tour, maybe not.

      "D" Day sacrifices
      This is an amazing experience and memory of the "D" day landings and the incredible sacrifice made by the soldiers on that day.

      Amazing, heartfelt and all round best day in Paris!!
      Tour: WWI Australians in the Somme battlefields 916-1918 Tour I did this tour with my mum and dad, and all the 3 of us can say is this is a must do. The tour is one of the most amazing days we have on our 7 week Europe trip. I can't remember his name (very sorry) but his passion and love of history came through at every minute of the tour. If you find yourself in Paris add this tour into your travels you will not be disappointed!!!!

      Ikea style monument

      Australians in the Somme
      We booked a private tour for our family of 4. Regis is a very gracious, knowledgeable and personable host. We learnt so much and felt so welcomed to learn about our shared history. We packed a lot into the day but at the same time never felt rushed. We were conveniently picked up and dropped back to our hotel in Paris in a very comfortable van. Regis is a very safe driver. He also took wonderful photo's for us to treasure. I would definitely recommend this tour company to my friends.

      WWI Belleau Wood Tour
      We booked a private tour with Adrian Roads and our guide/owner was Regis. I read the reviews from previous customers and it was apparent that this is the right company to book with. We had to book a private tour as the group tours were booked solid during the time frame we were there. The cost of the tour was 800 Euros which may seem a little steep, but we were extremely happy with the tour and I would say it is worth it. regis is an absolute professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. He was very engaging and wanted to ensure that we were pleased with the tour. I would recommend this tour to all!

      Fascinating tour of the Somme
      Regis was a terrific guide, very knowledgeable and personable. He offered interesting insights into the Battles of the Somme beyond what we had read before coming. Highly recommended!!

      An amazing and knowledge filled visit
      Regis picked us up and dropped us off from our hotel in Paris making our visit simple. We started out visiting the the town of Verdun and making our way up towards Fort Douaumont and the Ossuary. Regis' knowledge of the events and the context he was able to provide to everything all the way down to the roads we were driving on was exceptional. Anything that you wanted to see related to WWI he was able to provide. As a bonus he took us into the Argonne forest to share personal family history of his great grandfather's service in the war. When I return to France I will be sure to take a tour with Regis again.

      Full day trip of Somme and Villers Bretonneux
      Service and knowledge of Adrian was very very good. The ease of the pick and drop off was great and the vehicle was also really great. The history laid against the landscape was surreal, and this coupled with Adrian's knowledge and guidance made for a really great day. It was a long day, but a very full and enjoyable day!!

    This was amazing tour of Verdun, Argonne Forest, and American Cemetery. We also we able to a lot to honor the French and German soldiers who were lost too. Regis, our guide was amazing. He took extra time to show us, more than what the tour called for. Fort Douaumont, Towns that were wiped off the map. He showed us an amazing private museum, better than any government museums. I highly recommend this tour with Regis. Earlier that week we went on different tour with another guide. Not the same, Regis really loves to show you everything, takes his time, and his knowledge and little antidotes about the battles and war is TOP Notch. He also tells the story us many soldiers that are buried in the cemeteries. Which really brings it home.
