Battlefield Tours 2024/2025

With the help of our knowledgeable Specialist Guides, our Battlefield Tours enable you to better understand the history and discover the stories of those we lost during wartime. Join us this Centenary period as we Walk in the Footsteps of Heroes® on an inspirational journey of Remembrance you will never forget.

A WW1 Battlefield Tour can be a journey of reflection, appreciation and education, but most importantly a journey of Remembrance. Join us as we visit the sites where the infamous battles of the Great War took place, to recall the monumental acts of sacrifice, bravery and courage which shaped our future.

A century ago the guns fell silent on the Western Front and The Great War came to an end. What better way to commemorate the monumental acts of sacrifice, bravery and courage 100 years ago, which shaped our future, than to Walk in the Footsteps of Heroes® on a Battlefields journey of Remembrance.

Bruges, Ostend & the Last Post in Ypres

Bruges, Ostend & the Last Post in Ypres

The highlights of Belgium await on this getaway, from the beautiful city of Bruges to the coastal town of Ostend. We also pay our respects in Ypres, the scene of a series of battles during the First World War where casualties are believed to have surpassed one million. During our visit we witness the city’s daily act of remembrance, The Last Post, played in honour of those who fell in the Ypres Salient from 1914-1918. At exactly 8pm every evening, the police stop traffic to let the buglers complete the world-famous fanfare; an incredibly moving experience that should be observed first-hand.
