Great weekend and tour guide worked really hard to make it special and informative. Coach drivers looked after us and couldn’t do enough to ensure passengers were looked after.

Our Battlefield guide David brought the whole battle to life with his knowledge of Waterloo and the rest of the team were also brilliant and very helpful

A wonderful four days. David Kevin & Vlad were all friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make sure everything went smoothly. Regrettably the date of the re enactment was altered by the Belgium government. Despite this setback we enjoyed the visit. David Warren bought the battle to life especially for my partner who had little subject knowledge. For me, whilst well read and a previous visitor to the battlefield, David added to my knowledge especially the troop deployments on the day. On the back of this tour I am looking to book "At war with Wellington The peninsular war in June 2024.
