How do I find out more about each tour, and how do I book?

Image
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!

Six Recommended Places to Stay

Image
I often receive messages asking about great places to stay when taking a Timetrails tour and over the last two years I've featured some lovely places. Owing to the way these pages work some of my earlier recommendations have vanished into the deep distant past and you may have missed them. I am therefore bringing my favourite six recommendations together so you can see them all in one place. If you simply need Bed and Breakfast accommodation, look at the chambres d’h ôtes or maison d’h ôtes. For a self-catering holiday rental, look at the Gites So, here goes (and they're in no particular order) 1) La Charbonniére Mohon La Charbonniére Mohon - is a charming and comfortable house offering chambres d’h ôtes (B&B) in countryside close to the village of Mohon. Set on the eastern edge of Lanou é e forest in central Brittany, you'll be sure of a friendly welcome from your host, Cazzie.   La Charbonniére is very cosy, offering a range of twin and double, en-suite accomm...

A Review of the Locminé Loop tour

Image
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...
