On this tour, your group will be the sole and exclusive participant. You will receive your guide's undivided attention. This is a strictly private tour: I never combine bookings. You will only travel with the people you choose.

Follow in the footsteps of the New Zealanders on the Somme with a local, experienced guide. We've been conducting expert battlefield tours of the Western Front for over 16 years, ensuring you a truly unique and insightful experience.
