"For many years travellers have been drawn to the battlefields, especially those of WW1 and WW2 to reflect, learn more of the history, pay their respects at the cemeteries which span the Western Front, and give thanks to our ancestors for the sacrifice they gave for our freedom."

Battlefields Tours

Though the guns may have fallen silent, the battlefields of Europe still reverberate with the echoes of history. From the epoch-defining clashes at Hastings and Waterloo to the trench warfare of Ypres and the Somme, from the disasters at Arnhem and Gallipoli to the triumph of the D-Day landings, the great conflicts of the past still have so much to teach us. A specialist battlefield tour will give you unparalleled insight into the lives of the soldiers and their commanders, as well as the tactics and weapons they employed. Accompanied by expert guides you’ll find out why these battles really took place, what it was like to fight them, and their lasting legacy for the nations and peoples of Europe.
