What Our Students Say

Dr. Whitmore's Medieval Kingdoms course was absolutely extraordinary. I've visited many castles before, but never understood their strategic importance until this course. The way she connected architecture to military tactics and social hierarchy was brilliant. Walking through Warwick Castle with her commentary felt like time travel.

As a history teacher, I was looking for inspiration for my curriculum. The Tudor Dynasty course exceeded all expectations. The access to primary sources, the visits to Hampton Court and the Tower of London, and the expert insights transformed how I teach this period. My students love the new materials I brought back.

The Scottish Highlands course with James MacLeod was life-changing. Learning about clan history while actually standing in the landscapes where these events unfolded was incredibly moving. The small group size meant I could ask all my questions, and James's storytelling ability is unmatched.

I've been to London many times, but Sarah Bennett's Architecture course showed me a completely different city. From hidden Roman walls to cutting-edge modern buildings, I now see layers of history everywhere I look. The course materials were excellent, and the digital resources keep teaching me months later.

The Industrial Revolution course opened my eyes to how dramatically Britain changed in just a few generations. The combination of factory visits, canal walks, and mining heritage sites with expert historical context made this period come alive. Exceptional value for money.

What I loved most about the Cultural Immersion course was how it balanced historical context with living traditions. The Morris dancing workshop, brewery visit, and traditional cooking session weren't just tourist activities – they were genuine cultural education. I feel connected to British culture in a way I never expected.

The Roman Britain course challenged everything I thought I knew about ancient history. The archaeological workshops were hands-on and fascinating, and walking Hadrian's Wall with actual archaeologists was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The course materials are so comprehensive I'm still learning from them.

As someone with mobility challenges, I was nervous about joining a historical tour. The Hazy Memories team worked with me to ensure I could participate fully in the Gothic Cathedrals course. Their accessibility arrangements were thoughtful and comprehensive, and I never felt excluded from any activities.

The WWII Britain course was emotionally powerful and historically rigorous. Visiting the Churchill War Rooms, Bletchley Park, and hearing personal stories from local historians created a deep understanding of this crucial period. The course struck the perfect balance between education and respect for the human experience.

I booked the Lake District course as a solo traveler and was welcomed immediately into the group. The combination of Wordsworth's poetry, geological history, and conservation efforts gave me a complete understanding of why this landscape is so special. Made lifelong friends and incredible memories.

The Cotswolds course perfectly captured the essence of rural England. Learning about agricultural history, village development, and traditional crafts while staying in actual historic inns made it feel authentic rather than touristy. The wool trade workshop was particularly fascinating.

My teenage daughter and I took the London's Cultural Diversity course together. It was amazing to see how the city's history of immigration has created such a rich cultural tapestry. The food tours, museum visits, and community meetings gave us both perspectives we'd never considered.
