Testimonials

“I have long dreamt about going to where my father served in France, as I wanted an appreciation in person of seeing the places he encamped.  This tour more than met any expectations I had as I felt that it gave me a wonderful living experience.  By going to the other sites I was better able to see what ‘his’ War was like.

The friendliness, courtesy and complete willingness to undertake any task or challenge made the tour so successful.  It leaves memories that I will dwell upon in my mind’s eye forever.”

Ray from Newark, New Jersey, USA

“It was a special time for us and Ian made sure that every detail was taken care of. He was not so much a guide as part of our tour and I enjoyed the experience tremendously.”

Gordon from Burlington, Ontario, Canada

“Thanks Ian for being so flexible and understanding.  You acted in a very professional manner and we felt like you really knew what you were doing.

We enjoyed everything, since it was especially designed for us.  We really liked the cemeteries and the beaches.  The personal insights you gave made it even more personal and real.”

Dana from Hertfordshire, England

“Excellent, everything was very well organised and informative. We saw a good mix of battle sites, museums, monuments and gravesites. I gained an appreciation of all of the battlefields toured.

Ian Gumm was easy to tour with and is able to talk at a level of knowledge suitable to the customer.  I will certainly be taking another tour.”

Mark from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

“Ian and Jo were both so friendly, and we felt at ease and comfortable.  It was great for my son that he could go off with Ian and have one-to-one personal attention.  Ian took a great deal of time to make sure that we saw important historical places and his enthusiasm is contagious.  Thank you.”

Adrienne from London, England

“The knowledge and background of the tour guide was excellent.  He anticipated what the guests wanted to see and what was of the greatest of interest.

The overall experience was excellent and the tour was great value for money.”

Gordon from California, USA

“A simple internet search turned up several potential guides and email contact was quickly made. It was soon apparent that only one – Ian Gumm – shared our enthusiasm for our rather eclectic mix of battlefields. It was a decision that we would never have cause to regret – a better guide we could not have hoped for.”
