Mr & Mrs W and Family May 2013 – Family Pilgrimage, Western Front

The whole tour was expertly put together and meticulously researched, we have the folder put together by [Mike] with all the details, a wonderful legacy for our family. Although sad at times because of the tremendous loss of life it was a wonderful experience. ... The trip has had a profound effect on us.

Mr P and Ms S July 2013 – NZ on Western Front

Marilyn and I would like to thank Mike Scott for the most interesting tour of NZ related WW1 sites on the Somme and Flanders. Mike knew the entire area like the back of his hand and his knowledge of each site was like an encyclopaedia. We will always be in debt for his exceptional 3 day tour, starting at Ashford, England.

Ms S – ANZAC Day Tour April 2017

I just wanted to say thank you very much for the recent tour. Some of us travelled from London were a little worried initially with the type of tour we had selected, but once we met Andy our minds were at ease!

I felt as though I got a lot out of the tour. I am inspired to learn a lot more about World War One now. Your side of organisation was excellent. The food stops (pizza and breakfast) were great choices as it was an efficient use of time for a big group. It was great having such passionate guides who were excellent at telling the various stories and history of the area. I also really appreciated the interest and assistance from Andy to locate the names of some of my ancestors at the various memorials.

Mr L – Group Tour Surrey WFA Sept 2017

One can always have high expectations for an Eyewitness Tour and I haven’t been disappointed yet. The tours are always well organised and I felt very informed and looked after!

It is always moving to visit the memorials and cemeteries but it was a very thoughtful touch for each of us to be given a soldier to research and lay a poppy cross beneath each name at the Ring of Remembrance Notre Dame de Lorette.

Mrs B – October 2017

We are glowing with memories of our best, by far the best War Graves Trip we have ever been on, and it is all thanks to you. Where shall I begin?

You bound our group together so effortlessly, from 5 year olds to 80; from easy characters to others so precise; you found us convenient and comfortable hotels where we had no bills nor extras for us to pay, that gave us wholesome breakfasts; you kept the young engaged, made them feel special especially laying a wreath, placing a cross, answering your questions and never too busy to answer any of theirs - and for me a delight to watch - thank you so much for entering into the spirit and mores of the whole family. The children were delighted with the shrapnel and chocolate which was so thoughtful of you.

Everyone enjoyed the trip and got from it what they were looking for. Most seemed to be shocked at the scale of things and the visual effect of so many deaths. Thank you for tailoring the trip to suit our rather vague specification, it was just what we wanted. I will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone with similar plans
