Our small group tours are fully escorted by military historians. We operate our groups in smaller numbers to enable better interaction between tour members and the historians. The tours are made relevant to individuals passengers requirements by our historians research and knowledge on any relatives or friends who served. Our historians work closely with local guides and operators whom we have been using over the last 20 years.
Should you be looking for a shorter duration tour throughout the year, or to fit in whilst on an overseas adventure we can work with our local operators to provide you with a locally hosted tour, private tour.
