Would recommend 10/10!"Wolf" is an outstanding historian, very knowledgeable & resourceful. He was quite thorough & I feel I got a better education from him on WWII than I did in all of my high school years. I highly recommend him, he also happens to be super likeable with a charming personality.

The information about the Battle of the Bulge and indeed 101st American Airborne, depicted in the Band of Brothers was second to none and then on to the Bastogne museum, wow, so much information. This was truly brought to life by the Audio guides. We could have spent days in the museum.s, such wad the amount of information. Our tour guide was awesome, listening to our likes (all things tanks) and tailoring the tour accordingly. Also the food he arranged/supplied was of a high quality. Thank you so much History Wolf.
