On the anniversary of our most unforgettable tours of Gallipoli and the Western Front warmest regards to all for all that you did for us. We will never forget the tour and your kindness in 2009.

Recently I returned to Australia after participating in your ANZAC Special Tour. I was very impressed with everything Albatross did. A very professional outfit. The Turkish guides who accompanied the tour group throughout our Istanbul and Gallipoli experience were personable blokes who seemed to know everything about everywhere. The itinerary was extremely well organised with barely a hiccup. It was brilliant being able to explore the battlefields for a day and a half before the crowds and the helter-skelter of ANZAC Day itself were upon us. Graham Docksey, the war historian was a goldmine of information and was ultra efficient in fitting as much in as time would allow. The whole Gallipoli experience, including the Dawn and Lone Pine service was all I expected it to be. There were particular moments when all of us were moved to tears. Having now been to the actual ground, my perspective of places and events is alot clearer. I would certainly recommend this tour to others. Thank you for a job well done.

My wife and I returned from our Western Front Tour that culminated with the Anzac Day Dawn Service on the 25th and the following day 26th April 2008 Anzac Memorial Service both at Villers_Bretonneux. I would like you to know just how professionally our tour was conducted. We believe that our Tour Leader was exemplary in his knowledge of the battlefields we visited and the way in which he cared and conducted the tour for all who participated. Our tour leader was joined by an Army Historian in Roger Lee, who has an encyclopedic mind in all things Army and what happened on the Western front and no doubt beyond that. They were formidable as a team and made the Great War come alive before our very eyes in what was an altogether unforgettable and moving experience.

The war historian was absolutely excellent for this tour and brought the whole ANZAC experience to life in a wonderful way, that was understandable. This tour was the highlight of our 6 weeks away. Getting to and from the ANZAC Day service easily was great too.

A most enjoyable and enlightening ANZAC tour giving a detailed insight into this phase of our history. The ANZAC Day Dawn Service was a highlight.

Thank you for organizing such a wonderful tour and ensuring that we were able visit the Dernancourt War Cemetery and visit the grave of Bernice’s uncle, which we did. We placed an Australian flag and poppies on the grave, took photos and video taped the visit.
Overall, we felt the tours were excellent and value for its cost was reasonable. Our tour guide was outstanding. His military knowledge, the information that he provided and his presentation was excellent. At all times we felt safe and were kept fully informed. His leadership was outstanding.
Our hotels were of a very high standard as was our coach and driver.
This was our 11th overseas tour we have done and regard this tour as being outstanding – everything went perfectly. We are telling all our friends about this tour. We are delighted to be able to endorse it.
Once again, thanks to Albatross for such a wonderful and memorable experience.
