The Battle of The Somme

The Battle of the Somme was one of the most significant battles of WWI. Belgium holds the aftermath in the form of museums, battlefields, trenches, memorials and cemeteries.

The best way to see these historic places is with Private Guide Mike Eyns.

He is reliable, personable, knowledgeable and ready to take you on the adventure of a lifetime.

The Battle of the Somme battlefields tour can include the Lochnager Mine which is a crater made when a huge underground mine blew up during the 1st day of the Somme battle. Let your private guide show you first-hand the breathtaking, almost 300 foot in diameter and 70 foot deep crater. A visit to The Thiepval Memorial to the Missing, commemorates the 72,000 soldiers who died and have no known grave. There is also a Thiepval visitor center where you can view an exhibition about the battle.

At the Ulster Tower Memorial there are two memorials worth visiting. One honoring nine men of the 36th Division who won the Victoria Cross and another that commemorates members of the Orange Order. Having a private guide will save you the time and trouble of figuring out the sights that are worth seeing.

Let Private Guide Mike Eyns turn your regular vacation into a spectacular event.
