Dear Frank,

I wanted to drop you a few lines to say thanks for the fabulous trip to the battlefield at Waterloo.

It's difficult to single out particular highlights of the trip as there were so many! One of them has got to be sitting at the top of the Lion Mound (breath-taking in more than one way!) and using the excellent maps you prepared to see how the battle moved from one phase to the next.

Another for me was standing in the actual room where Napoleon slept in on the eve of the great battle.

However the very best part for me of the whole trip was the walking tour of the famous Hougoumont Farm. Your blow by blow account of this epic struggle really brought it to life — you could almost smell the black powder smoke. Seeing some French Cavalry re–enactors there was the icing on the cake for me.

It's obvious from your depth of knowledge and your enthusiasm, that you've put a great deal of time and effort into researching this battle, and made the tour so much more interesting. I look forward to travelling with you again.

Many thanks

Dear All,

What an interesting day reliving the Battle at Waterloo. I learnt so much more information about this battle and Frank really brought the scene to life with his wonderful knowledge of the event. We visited all the main sites involved and I really felt the history come alive.

I would recommend this tour and would love to go again, maybe on the 3 day tour, where you could spend a bit more time immersed in the history and soaking up the surroundings. A truly memorable experience, not to be forgotten.

Dear Frank

Kevin and I would like to formally thank you for the excellent guidance which you gave us to the battlefield of Waterloo, and the surrounding areas of interest to that topic. The selection of good museums added to our enjoyment.

Our comforts in travel, meals and accommodation were well taken care of, and we'd like to thank you for the convenience of booking our hotel and especially for your attention to the details.

As for your knowledge of the subject, it is impeccable. We were totally enthralled by your dramatic and compelling re–telling of what occurred leading up to and subsequent to the historic events of 1815. Your descriptions of the personalities, the large and small details, the setting of the scenes, and the unfolding of that gripping drama to its conclusion, we found thrilling. Your souvenir folder was an unexpected bonus.

We have no doubt that we wouldn't have found a better guide.
