Overview

2026 will mark the 110th Anniversary of the Battle of the Somme,one of the largest and bloodiest offensives of the First World War. This battle lasted 4 and a half months resulting in 420 000 casualties in the British army, among them 360,000 were from the British Isles. To honour their memory, Get-a-guide is offering a “Taylor-made tour”. If you had a British relative who fought during this terrible battle; we will be pleased to research his service and design a full-day tour going in his footsteps. This includes visits to the major First World War sites in the Somme; such “Lochnagar Crater”, Thiepval Memorial of the missing and Newfoundland Memorial Park. As this work takes time, the tour can only be booked between now and the end of March, before the busy guiding season begins. If you are interested, please provide us with your relative’s name and any information you may have about them.

Activity itinerary

Musee Somme 1916

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
A visit to the Somme 1916 Museum is a must for anyone exploring this area. The museum is located underground in a tunnel dating from the 10th century. It houses an extensive collection of World War I artefacts and traces the events of the 1916 Battle of the Somme. This guided tour provides an excellent introduction to your tour.

Lochnagar Crater

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Lochnagar Crater is an impressive site, estimated today to be around 100 metres wide and 30 metres deep. It was created by a mine explosion at 7:28 a.m. on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. This was one of nineteen mines detonated that day. A visit to this site provides the opportunity to explain how the battle began and its significance.

Le Tommy

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
This is where we will stop for a one-hour lunch break. This brasserie houses a remarkable First World War museum created by its owner Dominique and his son. A true labour of love, the museum displays an impressive collection of WWI artefacts and features a garden where the trenches have been carefully reconstructed.

Thiepval Memorial

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
The “Memorial to the Missing” is the largest British war memorial in the world. This imposing monument overlooks the surrounding rolling countryside, its walls engraved with the names of over 72,000 soldiers who are missing. At this site, we will explore the role of the British Army in the First World War, including how and why it became involved in the conflict.

Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Newfoundland was a Dominion of the British Empire and a small island with a population of 250,000 at the time of the First World War. Their Memorial Park is a unique site, as it is a preserved battlefield and marks where the Newfoundland Regiment went into action on 1 July 1916 and lost most of their regiment. Here, your guide will recount their actions on that day and the regiment’s wider participation in the First World War.
