I found the tour to be  extremely interesting with highly knowledgeable and interesting characters in the group. It is always good to be amongst fellow enthusiasts. The great thing about touring with Coopers Waterloo Tours is that there is always something unexpected which occurs (in a nice way!) such as the Fuentes 200^th re-enactment and best of all the entry into Wellington’s HQ.
