Everyone I had contact with at the Cultural Experience office was so helpful and pleasant - they answered any questions I had, and promptly assisted when I needed my hotel extended. Everything went smoothly, and I appreciate all their help. I enjoyed the tour, and I'm already looking at the "Future Planning" page to see what I can do next year!
A wonderful experience. 
The Wars of the Roses
John Sadler and Shaun were excellent. The history/ battlefield / castle parts were fantastic. Shaun looked after us extremely well. Everything was sorted smoothly each day. We were well looked after.
The Hilton hotels were very good. No problems, but the last hotel in Leicester was not so good....
John Sadler and Shaun were excellent. The history/ battlefield / castle parts were fantastic. Shaun looked after us extremely well. Everything was sorted smoothly each day. We were well looked after.
The Hilton hotels were very good. No problems, but the last hotel in Leicester was not so good. The downstairs rooms were good and the staff very attentive except one of the receptionists was rather offhand. However , the bedrooms were rather tired .
The meals were ok except the hotel at Northampton. My main course was hardly cooked ( a steak sitting in a pool of blood) and couldn?t catch a member of staff to tell, although I did try.
Wonderful experience 
The English Civil War Tour
This is my fourth trip with 'Cultural Experience'
and it just keeps getting better
I marvel at 'Cultural Experience' for their attention to detail
their consideration of client welfair and the expert knowledge of the guides.
I am looking forward to 2019 for more 'Cultural Experience'
The English Civil War Tour
An extremely interesting trip very well organised with excellent guide lecturer and tour manager.
The English Civil War Tour
I loved the explanation provided by Nick Lipscombe of the battlefields seen in the English Civil War tour. His commentary was very informative.
The English Civil War Tour
Service was great. Nick is a very knowledgeable guide who brings the battlefields to life. Atta was a terrific tour manager - very responsive. A couple of the hotels were a challenge with the heat and no air conditioning.
Expert guides, fun group, epic events under big skies in the Old West
Custer & The Indian Wars
They offer well-thought out itineraries with knowledgeable guides. The booking process is straightforward and the staff are helpful.

A superb overview of the D-Day landings in a professionally organised tour.
D-Day Landings & Paris

This was undoubtedly one of the best guided tours I've experienced. The tour guide, Simon Trew, was outstanding - unrivalled knowledge, enthusiastic, articulate and personable. He brought the D-Day landings to life. The tour managers were also excellent - helpful, generous with their time, imaginative and perceptive with their choice of restaurants, unstinting with the budget and always sensitive to the needs of the group, especially to the less mobile.
Every aspect of this tour was to savour and even the hiccup at the end was exceptionally well managed. Alan and Emma are to be congratulated on ensuring that I will be going on one of The Cultural Experience tours again. The fact the it was an intimate group was a real bonus and it gave plenty of opportunities for one to one conversations which was hugely appreciated.
I would and will recommend the company to anyone who is interested in the history of warfare and the battlegrounds where wars were enacted. A quite brilliant experience!

Bespoke tour to Portugal and Spain
Very personal service when I booked by phone as unable to complete the postal booking form. ( passport details out of date). Friendly staff who have dealt with me promptly and efficiently. I have travelled with the company before and will do so again.
First rate battlefield tour

The tour was well organised in terms of travel arrangements, transport, choice of hotel and venues for lunch/evening meals. The historian who accompanied the tour was on top of his subject, gave very informative talks and answered all questions that were directed to him. The tour group was small and informal (8 persons) which allowed us all to get to know one another very quickly.

Outstanding trip in all respects - especially skill, knowledge and good humour of both our historian and military expert. After the trip, had a far clearer picture of what actually took place at Waterloo, and the immediately preceding struggles. Comfortable hotel, in excellent location - and all made very straightforward with Eurostar !

The experience really was first rate. Both guides were very knowledgeable and personable and brought great enthusiasm as well as historical depth to their discussions. Everything from the meeting place to the itinerary was well thought-out but the guides were also able to adjust to the usual random happenings. The hotel was superb and the choices of dining establishments were outstanding. Ashley's wine selection was first-rate and the accommodations were luxuriously restful.

An extremely happy long weekend exploring the Waterloo campaign with two excellent guides who described the campaign from the Allied and French sides. They were informative, entertaining and made sure we saw and visited everything we wished to. Both General Ashley Turluck and Tim Clayton were not only excellent guides but excellent hosts and the whole weekend felt like a house party.
I have been fascinated by this campaign since my teens and it was wonderful to finally visit the battlefields and learn exactly how things worked - my reading and understanding will be much more rewarding in the future because of this trip. Thank you.
