  Why do I enjoy my tours so much? A little while ago somebody suggested I was "just a tour guide" and I actually found that quite depressing. Partly this was because the tone of the comment demeaned the work done by people all over the world who love sharing their local art, culture and history with others. More significantly, however, my sense of sadness came from the fact that the person who made the comment is someone I had never met and had never experienced one of my tours. He actually had no idea what I really do.   For me, my tours are about so much more than pointing at things and telling people about them. Each tour is a performance which depends completely on the relationships I build with my guests. Sometimes this includes building relationships between guests who may never have met. Doing this helps to build the sense of exploration, mystery and fun. This is where my teaching experience comes in.   Having begun my teaching career with the very smallest school...

At present I offer five different tours of some of Brittany's many amazing archaeological sites. To find out more about each tour just select each one from the navigation menu. When you have found a tour you like the look of there are various ways you can book. The first way to book is to contact me via the enquiries form on these pages . Give me the details of your party, the date and the tour you would like and I will get back to you to confirm price and payment information. Bookings made this way are normally paid for by bank transfer at least seven days in advance of your tour. (You can find a price guide with each set of tour details). Parties who wish to book "last minute" (ie within seven days of their desired tour date) will need to pay in cash at the commencement of the tour. Here are some other ways to book;- You can find three of my tours listed on Airbnb Experiences with dates scheduled right throughout the year. Booking with Airbnb is very simple and they h...

Paul, a resident of Brittany, joined me for the Locminé Loop tour on a very bright and sunny Monday afternoon in April 2023. Here's what he had to say...   "Just had a fantastic tour with Time Trails.   This is by a long stretch the best I’ve been on and I could not have had a better experience gaining a fascinating insight to the mysterious neolithic past in Brittany.    Our guide Phil is a professional archeologist who REALLY does know his stuff having studied and worked with many famous archeologists. He has even dug at Stonehenge.    I cant recommend this tour highly enough and as a plus it’s very reasonably priced!" Paul, Brittany.

It's all about the questions on one of my tours. The more questions you ask, the better!

If you'd like a flavour of some of the sites you may see on your Timetrails tour, pop over to my Youtube channel for a "sneaky peek". More videos will be added over coming months so don't forget to like and subscribe so you can be kept up to date. https://www.youtube.com/@TimetrailsInBrittany

Five stars are not enough! Ten stars at least.  We were staying at La Charbonniére near  Mohon [see details on these pages] and my hubby is into history and was shown the leaflet … me , well I can tag along. The price surprised me. I was in two minds if I should go or not, but I went and boy did I get a surprise!  You see the first location within minutes of starting. Philip, (even though he is a Bsc, MA, etc) is not stuffy, he brings it all alive. He doesn’t lecture you, he poses questions for you to think about. He doesn’t correct you like a schoolteacher, he patiently brings you around to seeing the past. He has a sense of humour… well he would have to have to keep me engaged for the whole afternoon!  Although I am an old lady I didn’t have any problems getting to and from the sites. Sensible shoes and clothes are all you need.  Philip didn’t just know about Neolithic times , he engaged in various other periods (I like medieval) . You can ask...

  FIVE STARS! “We had an interesting and thought provoking experience with Philip learning about the giant stones in Ménéac. It was fascinating to hear Philip's stories about the markers, particularly the history of his investigations and discoveries as he researched them. In addition to telling us about these particular Neolithic artifacts, Philip utilises his archeological training to paint a detailed picture of Neolithic times and how the communities lived and celebrated. It was fascinating to walk through ordinary countryside back roads and paths to discover each of the stones and imagine the landscape in those times and the journeys taken by people then. A very different experience from the typical tourist activities in Brittany and a welcome exploration into an ancient time.” Caite, Sydney, Australia
