Battlefield Tours

We can organise school trips to battlefields across Europe – from the First World War trenches and cemeteries of Flanders and the Somme, to the Second World War D Day landing beaches of Normandy. These school trips can be tailored to include other visits and museums as required. An experienced guide can also be provided at an extra charge. The trips below are the most popular and can be varied as required.
