We loved the tour. It was great to see the different locations of the battles and from different country perspectives.
Our guide was fantastic and very helpful and we would love to do more tours of Europe especially if was our guide.
Only comment would be if possible that accommodation be closer to the towns so that when there is free time it is easily accessible by foot. In saying that though the quality of the accommodation was wonderful.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday
