I really enjoyed the tour. Lillian is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I will put this place on my bucket list.

Excellent presentation on the history of the Vikings and great slides!

Her Rembrandt presentation was so informative, as her talks always are. Lillian’s enthusiasm, breath of knowledge and presentation skills make all of her programs such a joy.

Lillian always is full of great information no matter what subject she happens to be talking about I always learn so much from her and always look forwards to her next tour

Excellent presentation that clarified misunderstandings about “Viking” history. Learned a lot! Very enjoyable presentation. Great speaker!

Last year, I enrolled in Dr. Lilian’s Viking course, and I was immediately captivated by her passion for the subject. It’s not just the information she imparts; it’s how she delves into the material, providing in-depth explanations. Since then, I’ve continued to enjoy Dr. Lilian’s courses. Currently, I’m participating in her “England through the Ages” course. Although this isn’t her favorite historical topic, she has meticulously researched and crafted an outstanding course. Dr. Lilian’s dedication shines through, making the learning experience both enjoyable and informative.

I have watched since her first tour and I have always enjoyed every presentation.

Her academy lectures are always well researched , clear power point, enthusiastically presented and so enjoyable.

I have learned and discovered so much with her!

I love her humor, openness to suggestions from us for additional lectures and her being always ready to answer additional questions!

What a gift for all of us!

Thanks Lillian!

I take and re take classes with her just because my brain needs the food.

I told you before…you are the best appreciated by so many!

Dr. LILLIAN is one of my favorite tour guides and historians in the group of very professional and knowledgeable guides for World Vitual Tours. She is incredibly engaging and it is so apparent how much she loves the history and is so knowledgeable regarding her sphere of history, which is expansive. I love her tours and love how she tries to make her knowledge appealing to those of us who are following her every word. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and love for the historical periods you teach.

Dr. Lillian did a tremendous job of walking us through the city of Salisbury, showing the various types of architecture, a lot of history about the town, and the stunning Salisbury Cathedral. So much so I’m going to have to go back and re-study English history!!!

The use of the name ‘Black Death’ in reference to a 14th-century pandemic is probably familiar to most people, at least in the UK. But the details of it are less familiar and some of what is generally accepted by many people as fact is not actually completely true.

Lilly’s outstanding talk explains the origins of the Black Death – the poor black rats have been given far too much of the blame! – and the fascinating species imbalance which altered the behaviour of one animal, and how the clothing choices of the time made humans more vulnerable to the disease.

The talk contains a certain amount of medical detail which some might find distressing, but Lilly gives a warning in advance of anything potentially disturbing and while everyone will need to make their own judgement based on their individual triggers, Lilly provided the facts clearly and honestly and gave no more description than was necessary. I am very interested in medicine and its history so this part of the talk was particularly fascinating.

Lilly also examined the impact of the plague on many aspects of life, including the economy and also on art and literature of the time. Although we undoubtedly live in a very different world now in terms of technology and also in medical knowledge, it is intriguing to note the similarities between the reactions to the plague and to our recent pandemic.

This review only mentions a tiny amount of what is included in the talk, but Lilly has done an incredible job in putting this together. It is easy to understand and genuinely exciting to be part of it.
