From the beautiful towns of Arras or Albert we head out to the war scarred landscape of this region. Your experienced guide will tell you the history of these sites and how the war unfolded over these sections of the Western Front.
We only operate private tours, this will be your tour and adapted as necessary to meet your needs during the time. If you have any special sites, such as areas that involved your relatives, please ask as we are keen to adapt the tour specifically for you. With our years of living and working on these iconic sites we aim to ensure you leave with memories of the sacrifice of a generation.
Given suitable notice time and the availability of records we are able to research and prepare a bespoke tour to cover an individual soldier or unit.
