Western Front Battlefield Tours

Through our tour highlight and example pages we have tried to demonstrate what we consider to be our unique differences, when  compared to the more commercially driven battlefield tour companies.

I have downloaded this letter in full to show the level of tour preparation that is required, even before we reach the battlefields ! It also demonstrates the benefit of having a good group leader when organising large group tours. We hope to work with the Artists again in the near future. They commemorate their 350 anniversary this year.
