    Raul modified his tour to fit my requests so that we could see our ancestors actual path during the battle. Nice job.

    I really can’t recommend Raul’s tour highly enough. My wife and I are both interested in military history. At school, I had done a project on the 43rd and 52nd Light foot Regiments, who along with the 95th Rifles made up the Light Division. They featured heavily in the Peninsula War. I had long known the name of Salamanca as a pivotal battle. Last year (2022) we visited the battlefield and the interpretation centre. I realised this wasn’t enough to understand the battle. Raul’s knowledge and expertise brought the whole battle alive. It really is extraordinary to be able to stand where the various commanders stood, to see what they would have been able to see, to understand the difficulties in communication and the scale and distance involved in the battle. From the initial skirmishes to the conclusion to the final conclusion this was an enlightening afternoon. Although I knew something of the era, it was truly a wonderful tour that broadened my knowledge and understanding.

    Excellent tour of the battlefield led by the equally excellent Raul; top class tour guide who brought the events of 22 July 1812 to life.

    One of our primary reasons for visiting Spain was to tour a Peninsular War battlefield. I was very excited to find Raul and El Primer Edecan, and even more excited with his prompt response to my email inquiry and scheduling of our tour. Mind you we traveled from Los Angeles, California to see this! Raul picked us up at our Salamanca hotel and provided a very thorough, very entertaining drive around the various spots related to the battle. He had pictures, maps, actual musket balls, and when he pulled out his telescope so we could see what the British officers would have seen he blew me away! Raul obviously knows his stuff - I could not stump him with any of my questions. The entire experience was amazing and a highlight of our trip. I cannot recommend this more highly. If you want to truly understand this battle, and its context in the Spanish War of Independence, this is the tour for you. P.S. he even knows all about the Sharpe's series of books and talks about that too!

    (Solo tour) Raúl met me at my hotel and we headed off on a tour. A great storyteller Raúl helped describe all perspectives as the battle progressed and made me leave feeling grateful and knowledgeable from the experience. I cannot emphasise enough how great of a guide and experience this is. If you appreciate the Napoleonic wars or want to learn more about Salamanca’s history I recommend this tour!
