  2. Iain_R

    The whole experience was very good. Jan is an excellent guide. Very informative. A leisurely 2 hours tour.

    I had never considered what ‘occupation’ actually meant but Jan brought this home. Families torn apart, young children taken from their mothers and sent to live with strangers, five years of oppression and near starvation. It is hard not to be moved. Jan was able to share with us the experiences of her own family which really brought this home. Extremely enlightening, I definitely recommend this tour to all thinking people. Thank you Jan.

  4. Cristian_B

    Jan was very knowledgeable about Guernsey and the occupation during WW2. The fact that she shared personal accounts of family members who lived through those years made the tour more special. She’s not just telling the facts she shares stories that are very personal to her and all those that lived in Guernsey at the time.

  6. Dawn_L

    Jan was friendly, knowledgeable and prepared. She shared a notebook of historic photos and documents to help illustrate her historical narrative. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this tours to others!

    This was a very informative and interesting tour. We had read up on our history but still learned a lot of new things. We enjoyed the personal insights into history that Jan offered. We also appreciated that she offered a totally honest and unbiased view of what happened. All in all a brilliant tour which I would highly recommend.

  10. Carter_F

    We loved our tour with Jan! We had 10 people total — six adults, two teenagers and two kids. Everyone learned so much and enjoyed their time on the tour. The way Jan interweaves history with her personal story made a lasting impact on us that we won’t soon forget. Would recommend anyone traveling to Guernsey do this tour. You won’t regret it!

  11. Marelle_G

    Jan was wonderful. She had many personal stories which brought the tour even more to life. We really enjoyed our time Guernsey. Thank you!

  12. Ruth_G

    We found Jan’s recount of her family’s personal experience of the occupation to be very engaging. Jan’s use of photographs and memorabilia enhanced the experience. It brought home the fact that the impact of war is not just felt on the battlefield. Great tour. Highly recommend it.

  13. carolyn_L

    Very informative, a great way to experience a first time visit, and absorb some facts about the island’s history.

    I’m basing my review on the customer service by the tour operator. Our cruise was diverted because of weather and we never did get to the isle of Guernsey, a huge disappointment for our group.
    The tour operator kindly refunded the price of the tour and that was very much appreciated!
