His intensity whilst explaining the subject matter was what kept everyone entertained throughout. His grasp of the important, niche areas of the history involved were fascinating. I felt totally connected to the period of history whilst following his anecdotes, in fact I wasn’t just following the tour I was 100% immersed. The visit to view the Nazi memorabilia in the pub was exciting and getting to handle artefacts was fantastic. Also his use of a flip chart of pictures was much better and more authentic than a use…”
