"We have used Hugh on a number of occasions to lead various battlefield tours and events and have every confidence in his ability to give our clients an experience that will exceed their highest expectations. His encyclopaedic knowledge of his subject, combined with great enthusiasm and his wonderful ability to communicate will ensure that every tour led by Hugh will leave participants with a very real sense of the history and scent of battlefield powder that brings the whole experience to life in a way that you will not forget."
Ted Wake, Managing Director Kirker Travel (020 7593 2283 www.kirkerholidays.com)

" Hugh is more than just an up market tour guide - he is an historian! He combines astonishing academic rigour with an enormous sensitivity for the past but with great humour and enjoyment, and brings it all to life. He organised an entirely bespoke tour for a family party to visit our father's/ grandfather's involvement in the Arras campaign of 1917. Hugh worked together the three threads of our forebear's personal experience, his regiment (12th Royal Lancers) and the wider strategy of the battle into an astonishingly clear narrative. We want to repeat the tour."
The McCreery and Meynell families

"Hugh gave a fascinating illustrated lecture on the Battle of Waterloo to a part of our clients in the evening, and followed it the next day with an absorbing tour of the Battlefield, and brought it to life. He is not only passionate about his subject but also extremely knowledgeable and very articulate. There was never a dull moment."
