    A very comprehensive tour of World War 1 western front battlefield sites and cemeteries with an emphasis on the ANZAC involvement led by a very knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed the tour with the highlight of course being the dawn service at the Australian War memorial at Villers Bretonneux. If any improvements were to be made more time could have been spent explaining what we were going to see while on the bus travelling to a site rather than explaining the same when we got to a site would have meant less time standing around listening at the site and more time to explore the site. Also at times it felt like we were driving around in circles. The hotel accommodation except at Amiens was good. The hotel at Amiens was charitably speaking very average although the location was excellent.

In general the hotels were good - all well situated and interesting in themselves. Some required using stairs, though Charlie carried luggage up and down to our rooms so that was not a major problem, except for our pre-tour stay in the Paris hotel, where we were allocated a 5 th floor room, with the lift only reaching the 4 th.

    Smashing tour to see the historic features of Scotland. Excellent opportunity to explore without the pressure of timetables and too many people. Just a small group of 12 and Ed was the best guide. Great knowledge of history and took us to amazing places. Isle of Skye and Isle of Mull the highlights. Well priced.
