Our Testimonials
The whole trip was amazing, all you did was fantastic and I enjoyed every minute with everyone, would go again tomorrow but I guess I’ll have to wait, take care and don’t let anyone push in.
Sharon took myself and two friends on a tour of Normandy, not only was she our guide she was our chauffeur as well, she organised absolutely everything for us. She is extremely knowledgeable and is clearly very well researched but is quite happy to learn from and listen to other people’s stories and information. We are already booked to go Dunkirk with her in June and a tour of the Somme area will follow. I cannot recommend her highly enough, you will not be disappointed.
Thank you so, so much for organising, booking, chauffeuring and guiding us Sharon, it has been a fantastic 4 days, such a range of emotions, think it might take a few days to actually take stock of everything.
As a Christmas present from my wife, Sharon arranged the most amazing tour focusing on the WWI battlefields, and in particular on the journey my Great-Grandfather took in the war. This concentrated on his last week, and discovered new information unknown to us previously. Amazingly Sharon was able to find, within a small radius, where he was shot and died and using trench maps overlaid with modern mapping / GPS take us to the area, before visiting his grave. There were many unexpected highlights such as arranging for me to lay a wreath at the Menin Gate with the Last Post Association. Although the days were long and tiring Sharon never stopped answering questions, even varying the itinerary to take in a German Cemetery as this had been the topic of several conversations. The tour was more than we could have hoped for. Thank you!

If you have ever wanted to visit the battlefields, Sharon is the lady to do it with, she is knowledgeable, warm, friendly,funny and personable.
“Just returned from a 4 day trip around the Dunkirk area with Sharon, once again, being our guide and chauffeur. The journey she took us on and the stories she told us along the way was fascinating. adding photos of individuals is a brilliant idea and just adds to the emotional experience. Her choice of hotel cannot be faulted. Brilliant, thank you Sharon”

I wanted to say thank you so much for four fantastic days that will stay with me forever. Obviously, it is precious to spend time with my dad (he thoroughly enjoyed himself too) like that but I genuinely found the trip fascinating. You showed us and told us so much that, if we had done it on our own, we never would have. The more I have been thinking about it, the more impressed I am with just how much you were able to cover. Snippets keep popping up in my mind

20Thanks again for our Normandy Beaches tour. Neither of us were in any way knowledgeable about the events that surrounded the battle of Normandy and you brought the whole thing to life for us. You took us to all the places that were part of the full story, bringing to life the heroes stories, describing the events and helping us understand what took place.
Your knowledge and passion are boundless. You knew the best times to visit each place and the best museums to go to to build that full picture.
Thank you – we loved our trip, we loved our accommodation and were left humbled by the history Normandy holds.

Excellent tour to Normandy in September 2024 led by Sharon and ably assisted by driver Rob. Itinerary was good – we packed loads in. Hotel was excellent. Sharon was a super guide, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We went with a specific aim of finding areas where my grandad was on D-day. Sharon’s perseverance in finding these locations was excellent – her reaction when we found the barn showed how much this meant to her.
