Bespoke battlefield tours

For many years we have taken along on tour our support vehicle to assist in the many Special Visits that are made on our standard tours to the various Battlefields around Europe. We have now extended this to include Bespoke Tours for small groups of between 2-6 persons in our luxury seven seat vehicle.
     The driver guide will be an experienced driver and battlefield tour guide. You will be issued with a personalized itinerary, information sheets and maps to assist you during your tour. The vehicle is air conditioned with ample leg room, and will either collect you from your home or from a pre-arranged rendezvous point and transport you to your selected destination.
