Dear Anneke and Peter,
Thank you so much for your extraordinary help and dedication during our recent trip to France. I have worked in the tourism business for 20 years and I have been very impressed with your obvious concern for the needs of the clients. You ensured that everything went ahead so seamlessly. You took care of the clients as if they were members of your own family. Everyone on the trip had the highest of praise for you both. I love your social conscience, your very apparent love for what you do and the fact the you genuinely adore the places you brought us to. You brought the past to life with your stories and insights and adapted your commentaries to the interests of the group. Every single detail was anticipated and taken care of by you so no one had to wonder what was happening next. It was great fun and we all wished the journey would never end. It is great to have seen such a wonderful mix of spirituality, compassion and professionalism. From the bottom of my heart I thank you.
With kind regards,
Mark Mulvey - Tour Manager

Exclusive Tour with Henry Lincoln
7th October - 14th October 2010
A Rare Opportunity to spend a week exploring Rennes-le-Château and many of the places connected to its remarkable story with the world's leading authority - the man who started it all!
Accommodation will be in Rennes-le-Château's sister village, at the charming Hostellerie de Rennes-les-Bains, on the banks of the pretty River Sals. The hotel provides excellent food in relaxed and comfortable surroundings.
Henry Lincoln will guide you around the historic sites, bringing his unique insight to the story. Not merely the villages of Bérenger Saunière and the abbé Boudet, the tour will also include Cathare castles, Templar Commanderies - and of course there will be ample time to explore the world famous Rennes les Château.
