Time Trails in Brittany - Sentiers du Temps

  Martin from Germany gave this review of my Menéac Markers ;- “Philip hat uns einen wunderbaren und sehr informativen Nachmittag beschert, wir haben viel über Menhire, Dolmen und die Geschichte im Gebiet der heutigen Bretagne erfahren, das Ganze sehr interessant und unterhaltsam präsentiert, es ist also absolut weiterzuempfehlen, besonders und gerade auch für Leute ohne Vorkenntnisse." "Philip gave us a wonderful and very informative afternoon. We learned a lot about menhirs, dolmens and the history of the area that is now Brittany. He presented the whole thing in a very interesting and entertaining way, so it is absolutely recommendable, especially for people with no previous knowledge."

  Here’s what Malissa from Seattle had to say ;- "Fantastic trip with Phil! He was very patient with our kids' questions and had a ton of knowledge to share! The menhirs and dolmens were amazing and we would have never found them on our own. Phil's knowledge and stories really made each site come to life, and his passion came through in every word. He made logistics incredibly easy, and most our time was spent at the sites or taking quick walks to each site--our longest drive was less than 10 minutes. Cannot recommend Phil's tour highly enough!"   Sandro from Switzerland said ;- "Philip ist ein einzigartiger Guide mit unglaublich grossem Fachwissen! Er hat die Tour sehr lebhaft gestaltet und die gesamte Tour war sehr kurzweilig. Zudem hat er sehr gut mit den Teilnehmenden kommuniziert und auch auf die vielen Fragen immer eine vertiefte wie auch verständliche Antwort geben können. Die gesamte Tour war absolut der HAMMER und wir würden sofort wieder kommen!...

  Camille and Sabrina from Lausanne left this review of yesterday’s Pink Granite Coast tour. It was a real pleasure helping Camille discover more about sites she has known since childhood. ★★★★★ "Quel bonheur de découvrir (enfin) l'histoire passionnante de ces allées couvertes et menhirs que je connaissais depuis l'enfance. Philip est un guide passionnant, pédagogue et très drôle. Même sans y connaître grand chose de l'âge de bronze et du néolithique, on est tout de suite embarqué dans la visite. Et on en ressort émerveillé de tout ce qu'on a appris. Merci Philip d'avoir partagé avec générosité tes connaissances!" ★★★★★ "What a joy to (finally) discover the fascinating history of these allées couvertes and menhirs that I’ve known since childhood. Philip is a captivating, knowledgeable, and very funny guide. Even if you don’t know much about the Bronze Age and the Neolithic period, you’re immediately drawn into the tour. And you come away in awe of eve...

J'ai le plaisir de vous confirmer que les visites sont désormais disponibles en français et que le nombre nombre de clients francophones augmente régulièrement.  Après cinq ans de vie ici en Bretagne , mon français parlé est maintenant capable de conduire des visites et de répondre à la plupart de vos questions. Il y a encore des lacunes occasionnelles dans mes compétences linguistiques, mais il y a toujours le professeur Google pour m'aider !

Over the last year or so I've been filming lots of videos about a range of sites in Brittany. Most of the sites are those I do not visit on my tours but I hope that future visitors to Brittany find them useful. Here's a link to my YouTube channel where you will find ten episodes showing a range of amazing prehistoric dolmens , menhirs and stone rows around Brittany. You'll also find some short films and a special episode about sites in Dorset, England Timetrails in Brittany on YouTube

Here are a few reviews of my Pink Granite Coast and Locminé Loop tours. I send my thanks to everybody who has taken the time to get back to me with their feedback. I hope to see you all again one day. Ron and Cathy from Pennsylvania said;- "This tour was far and above what we had anticipated. Not only was our guide, Phillip extremely knowledgeable but he is also an excellent teacher! The tour wasn't just about the ancient stones, it was about the people who built the monuments. About their concerns for the search for meaning, about their sense of community, about family life and death. About survival, living in harmony with the forces of nature and the universe. I highly recommend anyone with an interest in archaeology to put this tour on the MUST DO list." (September 2025) Samy from Tours said;- "Philip is truly passionate about history and archaeology, and it clearly shows throughout the visit. His tour is a great way to dive into the ancient history of Brittan...
