"I wish the trip could have gone on forever. Remember the waves in Maceira Bay? and the bridges of Fuentes! You have given me memories for life"
Sue Brunt – Sittingbourne, Kent – Peninsular Tour – 7th –19th September 2002

"Thank you for an absolutely marvellous tour of Spain and Portugal. Sylvia and I thoroughly enjoyed it..... it was first rate and some of it was positively – and uniquely – outstanding!
Bill and Sylvia Marsh, Guildford, Surrey – Peninsular Tour – 7th –19th September 2002

"Now we have settled down at home I just had to write to you to thank you for a super informative trip. It was far more than I ever expected. Lucy and I were stunned with the reality of what we only know from reading books. I can safely say that I can not think of another person who could and did bring it alive as you did.
Max Vernon and Lucy Miller, Orpington, Kent – Peninsular Tour – 7th –19th September 2002

"Another very exciting bit was when we saw the men searching the battlefield...the musket balls presented to our school were heavier than expected. I hope you continue to enlighten others in this magnificent but (yet horrific) historic occasion"
Tom Spackman – Young Pupil Warwick School – October 2002

"Your exceptional detailed knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment to tell the combatants' story was inspiring and added immensely to the value we each gained from the experience. The advance literature promised us a full and rewarding day; you certainly delivered that and much more!

"When you next see Graeme please tell him how impressed we were with the hard work he put into the trip. With his comprehensive knowledge, I could almost feel I was there. As Robin said, the way he explained things in detail, it gave a clear picture to the entire situation as it must have been."
Walter Samuel, Ongar, Essex – 29th June 2002

"My friend John and I had a most enlightening day with you on our trip to the WW1 Belgium battlefields, the day was made for us by Graeme, he is a brilliant guide hope to go with you again next, year. A day I will never forget."
Richard Thompson, Ongar Ypres – 29th June 2002

"The tour guide, Graeme Cooper, brought history to life in an interesting, thought provoking and sensitive way and held 46 people totally spellbound. He told the events of the war in a historically factual way, whilst sharing with all on the trip the pathos and emotion which cannot be avoided when looking back at those terrible years."
Gill Finch, Moreton, Essex.– Moreton Village to Ypres – 29th June 2002

"Where, oh where do I begin? Wednesday was such a red letter day for so many. You exceeded everyone's expectations so I hope your ears were burning after you left as everyone was saying what a memorable day it was. I really can't thank you enough."
