The tour was organised via email and there was prompt and clear communications through out the process.
Arrived promptly at the time and hotel given, very friendly and informative guides. The vehicle was comfortable and spacious.
After the long drive, the tour did not fail to impress, the landscape was stunning and the guides where very informative, knowledgeable and friendly. Took us to extra places and very communicative throughout the trip. Played a very informative tape on the journey giving the complete background to the battles.
A lovely lunch was provided at the roukes drift hotel, They gave us time at each stop to look round and reflect on the battlefield alone.
Nothing was rushed.
Would highly recommend this tour company.

This trip was not 2.5 hours each way as stated in the advert, it was closer to 4.5 hours each way… we had 9 hours travel and 3 hours at the battlefield sites….. our guide Benson didn’t give us any facts or history, we may as well have been sat in a taxi - I’m pleased we have seen the sites, but knowing now the time involved we would not have booked this
