Explore the Somme’s battlefields, memorials, and Amiens Cathedral on an 11-hour small-group day trip from Paris.

About this tour

Travel from Paris into the Somme, where the landscape still bears the scars of World War I. On this small-group day trip, an English-speaking driver-guide shares the history of the Great War and the hardships endured in the trenches, with a maximum of eight travelers for a more personal experience.

Visit the immense Lochnagar mine crater and walk through the trenches at Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial. Continue to the Sir John Monash Centre, then pause at the Windmill in Pozières, the Australian National Memorial in Villers-Bretonneux, and Thiepval Memorial to the Missing to remember those who fell. The day also includes time to admire Amiens Cathedral, a remarkable 13th-century landmark and the largest cathedral in France. Travel between sites in an air-conditioned minivan, with skip-the-line access included. If the Sir John Monash Centre is exceptionally closed, the Historical Museum of Péronne may be visited instead.

Discover the Somme’s history and memorials on a full-day journey from Paris, and return with a deeper sense of the people and events that shaped this landscape.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.88 from 289 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.9. Top 13% in Paris means it ranks in the top 13% of tours in Paris by this score.
