  I have recently spent three most enjoyable days (November, 2015) in the company of Edwin on a private tour of the entire "Market Garden" route and battlefields. ... read more Edwin proved to be a most informed and knowledgeable guide. It is quite apparent that he has not only absorbed the published writings on "Market Garden" but has had recourse to many primary sources too. He is able to pull together so much information and convey it in a highly articulate and approachable manner. From corps to sectional, and, even individual actions, Edwin is a clear guide as to events. He can relate the tactical aims of the campaign as well as personal stories as the operation occurred. His enthusiasm for, and understanding of, the subject is remarkably clear.
I had originally intended to undertake the tour alone but I am so gald to have had Edwin alongside. His local knowledge meant we could see a huge amount and I saw some sites which only someone with the knowledge Edwin has could have directed me to. I previously had a good appreciation of "Market Garden" but seeing the geography, terrain and the physical remnants of battle - troop emplacements, battle scars - really brought the subject alive. With Edwin's informed, intelligent and articulate commentary I feel I have a better understanding of the campaign though Edwin's greater knowledge has propelled me to do more in-depth analysis too - surely the sign of a worthwhile tour!. Edwin is also extremely engaging socially and it was a great pleasure to spend time with him otherwise. On the basis of my experience I am highly likely to undertake another diffferent tour with Edwin and can only recommend him most highly.

  Hello Robin,

Thank you for this review and your very kind comments and feedback. It was my pleasure to work with you and your unit. Hopefully we'll meet... read more again in future.

  I booked a personalized tour with Edwin to follow the footsteps of my father who was a paratrooper with Easy Co, 2nd Bat, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne. Edwin took... read more us step by step from the time my Dad landed in a field near Son, NL to the point he was wounded at the Cross Roads battle, west of Arnhem. Edwin is very knowledgeable and it is obvious he does his research and is a professional. When I booked I was wondering if we would get the "drive-by" type of tour but this wasn't the case at all. We left at 8:30 in the morning and returned at 6:45 pm. We would never have been able to find the sites we visited on our own. He had details that I had never uncovered.

  Edwin’s knowledge is unbelievable and he is a great bloke, which made this tour incredible. He was able to ensure we kept clear on the who and when so that... read more we could follow the events as we moved around. His detailed maps, pictures and command of the geography added greatly to the day.

Highly recommend

  Edwin gave us a wonderful tour of Arnhem and Oosterbeek to give us an insight into my father's experience during Operation Market Garden during Word War II. He brought... read more it to light with his knowledge of the facts, the geography of the area and selection of maps and photographs.
