You don't have to be a military history buff to enjoy the drama and emotion of standing in the field of a monumental battle. Neither can you fail to be moved by the cemeteries and memorials, particularly when accompanied by a knowledgeable historian who can bring these haunting landscapes back to life.

If you want to understand our nation’s - and your family’s - history, there is no better way than to visit the battlefield sites and the places where history was made. Retrace the footsteps of heroes on one of our Battlefield Tours, in the company of a specialist guide.
As market leaders, we offer the widest range of tours, departure dates and a choice of more than 400 coach-joining points. Choose from over 20 WWI and WWII, Napoleonic and American Civil War battlefield tours. Our D-Day Landings in Normandy and All Quiet on the Western Front tours are the most popular and offer you a moving insight into the great wars of the last century.
Each Battlefield tour is accompanied by a hand-picked specialist guide who gives expert commentary, explaining why battles were fought at particular locations. Our guides interpret the landscape, highlighting signs of the battle that are evident today and telling countless stories of personal bravery and sacrifice.
On most of our tours you have the option to upgrade to Silver Service luxury coach travel, which provides extra legroom on the coach, a spacious rear lounge, smaller group sizes for a more personal experience and porterage in all hotels. Silver Service breaks start from as little as £5 per day extra.
