I have to tell you that the El Alamein battlefield tour was the very best I have encountered. Not only are you the consummate professional with your vast knowledge and attention to detail, but you carried it out with heart and soul. Taking such a group including 3 veterans in their mid-nineties could only be achieved with commitment.
It was an honour to be part of the group.

With kindest regards
Rod Scott

Both Dad and I had a great trip thanks to all your organisation. He loved it and when I spoke to him yesterday was full of it. Can't thank you enough for that, and for your patience in putting up with the slow pace of things! Big, big thanks

Kate R.

I enjoyed the tour very much - your organisation, the flexible and comprehensive itinerary and the care provided for us both was everything I could have hoped for and it has left me with a lot greater understanding of the key part of my father's war, the El Alamein battle and Egypt generally. I am so glad we made the trip.

I found the entire trip to Tunisia exciting, challenging, adventurous, eye opening, and educational, in no small part due to your involvement. For that I thank you and wish you the best in your future endeavours.

Once again, my heart felt thanks for including me on the trip, I wouldn't have missed it for the earth.
Norman C.

I trust all is well at your end and your tours are continuing to do well with plenty of interesting people. We had a fantastic time and largely thanks to you and Talal – they will be memories treasured for ever.
Tony D.

Thanks also for a great trip, and I really appreciated your overall effort and talks about the battlefields.
Michael N.

G'day Steve, Mate, Dad and I had a ball, mainly due to you, Ruth, and your team. I can't thank you enough. It was something Dad had to do, we'd been talking about it for ages, he always seemed to have a reason not to go. I know he's glad he finally did. Kindest Regards,
Bob F.

All the best and thanks once again to both of you for your help and friendship on the tour. Well remembered and much appreciated.
Alan D.

I had a wonderful time. It was really interesting and I learnt a lot.
Richard P.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip with the veterans to Egypt and I know my father and his partner did too. I thought your input made the trip; your knowledge and the way that you presented it to us was wonderful.
Tina W.

It has been an incredible week – every expectation met and more.
Shirley D.

My dad and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in Egypt. My dad says it is the best war tour he has been on. The hotels were first class and we enjoyed everyone's company. If we ever go to Libya then we will definitely go with you again. Thanks for such a memorable trip.
Sam A.

Just wanted to send you an e mail to thank you again for giving me the trip of a lifetime - no make that a trip in a thousand lifetimes! I had a fantastic time and enjoyed every single second of every single thing that we did! You really did make a dream come true, it was EVEN better than I even dared to dream. Rest assured that I am now making every effort to save up the cash for another tour and as soon as I can I will be going back!
Please send my warmest wishes and deepest gratitude too, to Talal for his part in making the tour so fantastic. I have never felt on such a high and in such GOOD company as in this last week.
I will be writing to Manfred very very soon to thank him for the special gift and to tell him what a great time I had, infact I think I will be telling EVERYBODY, whether they are interested or not!!
Thank you again, for such a marvellous time I don't think you will ever know how much I really enjoyed myself, CANNOT WAIT TIL THE NEXT TIME!!!!!
Natalie D.

Just like to thank you for all your help and to say how much we enjoyed the trip. I learned a lot and that is going to help me and also seeing where my dad had been, I know that at least he'll be happy where he is.
Karen W. and Eileen K.

(With reference to the above statement Karen had scattered the ashes of her
Father, as was his last wish, at Ruwesait Rdige, south of El Alamein)

We had a wonderful time... Daddy has slept for the past two days!
Thank you for all you did.

Hi my name is Donna. I'm sending an email on behalf of my mum Ingrid Hempstock who went on one of your tours in October. She was with her sister Karen and her friend Eileen (the two scottish ladies!!!) I'm sure you will remember them...      My mum had an amazing time in Egypt and I've heard nothing but since she came back. Her photos were amazing, all she keeps talking about is how fantastic the people were, from the other people on the tour to the drivers of the coach. I just wanted to say thank you for making her holiday so special for her and something that she will remember forever. To stand in the footsteps of her dad was something she will treasure forever. She is hoping to do it again one day and I think I will join her. Thank you again from both of us.

Thank you so much for these photographs. The family will treasure them. You really are wonderful (yes I know.....so they say!!) but I can't express enough what this means to the family. His daughter never knew her Dad (he died when she was just over a year old) and she suffered at the hands of her stepfather so this will bring her lot of peace and closure. There are a lot of wonderful people in this world but you are truly special. Thanks again.

Once again I had a thoroughly enjoyable time with Western Desert Battlefield tours and loved every minute I was there. Libya is definitely my favourite North African country and I came away knowing that I had seen only a tiny bit of what is actually out there (I am currently saving for my next trip!). In-between Steve's knowledge and his stories of the soldier's experiences, my thirst for knowledge about the Desert Campaign has only been heightened. Talal was a total superstar, enduring the 'punishment' of the long drive with his always-present good humour and laid-back style.

While I was in North Africa, the Icelandic volcano blew and to get my experience in perspective, I'll say that I was most disappointed about two things: Firstly, that they started to allow flights back into the UK and I couldn't have an excuse to stay longer, and secondly, that I had to be back in England due to other commitments.

I would highly recommend Steve as a guide in North Africa, for me, there is NOBODY better!
Natalie D.

We both enjoyed an amazing time with you...an excellent Tour... (El Alamein) Thank you so much for preparing the diary of my father's last days and thank you too for organising the flowers for the grave.  This tour has been a revelation for me and I can't thank you enough...you are a lovely, lovely man...diolch yn fawr.
