Bespoke Tour 15-17 April

Reviewed April 29, 2016

I arranged a bespoke tour for my 77 year old  mother, who is a keen historian. The Normandy landings has always been something she wanted to do and became one of her bucket list items. Having completed a whistle stop tour with Adrian last year,  I knew he would be the perfect guide for a longer tour with my mother. She is well read   and I knew Adrian would have the in depth knowledge that Mum would need. I could not recommend the tour more highly. We were very lucky to stay at La Rougerie farm and have the complete package; bed, breakfast and evening meal. This enabled us to talk about the tour over breakfast and evening meal. La Rougerie farm host (Fiona Ridley-Jones) and her personable farm hand Pavel attentively catered for all our needs! We were also charmed by the resident chocolate Labradors Sherlock and Watson. Looking forward to our next trip when we hope to visit neighbouring Bayeux and Caen.

Sheerings Coach tour - D Day landings

Reviewed September 20, 2015

Adrian Ridley-Jones, our Battlefield Guide on a recent Sheerings Coach tour was excellent. He had an extensive knowledge of the area enabling us to visit many additional places of interest not included in the holiday. Adrian very kindly used his own time to research into my fathers regiment and the role played in the D Day landings, which made the tour even more special and personal to me. I would have no hesitation in recommending Adrian

Shearings D Day Landing Beaches Tour

Reviewed September 18, 2015

Adrian Ridley-Jones was our guide on this Shearings Coach trip and he was excellent. He ensured that we packed as much in as possible during the two days he was with us. Not a minute was wasted and his knowledge of the subject was wide-ranging and first class. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would have no hesitation in recommending this trip to anyone else.

Part of the delight of guiding is discovering the wonderful family histories and some of the incredible stories that are all too often just like the Boys' Own stories. It is said that most films are based in reality, even some of the outlandish ones and one can see how this can be true when reviewin More
