    Helena was fabulous. My 18 year old son and I spent the day with her. She was so knowledgeable and easy to be around. We took a train from Vienna and met her near the station.

    I've visited a great many battlefields and this was one of the most enjoyable and memorable trips thanks to our splendidly knowledgeable tour guide Helena. From the moment we met Helena (and Marco) at Brno Station she took a great deal of care and effort to make sure we visited all the important sites and included some we would never have known about without her local knowledge. Including a very pleasant lunch at a local brewery. It's only an easy train journey from Prague. So, if you are thinking of visiting Austerlitz then I would highly recommend taking a tour with Helena (and Marco).

    Austerlitz has been on my wish list for many years so I was delighted to be able to visit this year. My friend and I are both retired army generals with a deep interest in military history. First thing is that Brno is a great location to stay in with its stunning old town and proximity to the battlefield. Plenty of interest for our wives whilst I was studying. However nothing would have been possible without the simply wonderful Helena. She collected us early morning from our accommodation and dropped us back at the end of a very full day. I had purposefully requested a bespoke visit which maximised time on the ground and minimised tourist attractions like museums. I also wanted to move from the French R flank to the L. Helena was able to meet every request with a smile. Incidentally the ground is simply superb and the key features are unchanged since 1805. If you are going to maximise your visit, a local guide is essential but nobody else except Helena was able to match our requirements. She is a walking encyclopaedia of local knowledge not to mention the small country roads. She has made an ardent study of the 1805 campaign and has many helpful pieces of literature and maps in a large folder. If this all sounds dreadfully serious, Helena ensured that we had sufficient samples of local beer and excellent food to lighten key moments. We were also fortunate to have the additional company of her charming dog Marko. In summary this was quite a brilliant day with a tour guide who is simply the best. Thank you Helena from John and myself.

    It is not hard to rate this adventure 5 stars. Helena has been amazing all the way. There are many things to see, many "hidden" spot that would take days to identify even with a good written guide of the area. With Helena you can get right to the place, she is well informed on the facts and legends of the area, and she goes above and beyond to take you where you want to be. She obviously speaks the language witch by itself is a must, you can get to museums and other places with her (with reasonable limits) that you will not dare to ask otherwise. As I originally planned to attend the December 2 battle anniversary we were also able to meet a few soldiers along the way (as you can see from one of the picts we were also ambush by Cossacks)! which was great as made it more immersive. Unfortunately the entire re enactment was cancelled last minute due to covid but a decent amount still showed up to give respects to the Heroes of Austerlitz, on both sides.

    It does not matter if you are the world's expert on Austerlitz or just a curious tourist, Helena will make your day on the battlefield interesting and a fun experience. In a very skilful way she adapts the tour to suit your requirements. Helena picked me up from my Hotel in Slavkov at 8.00am and then showed me around the battlefield in such detail. We went to places that l would never have found if l had tried to do this on my own. The conversation between us never stopped and we also discussed English and Czech issues and culture
