This is a fascinating tour and very poignant tour where I will give you a good background into World War 1 and you will be able to appreciate the enormity and difficulty of this war to end all wars by actually walking and seeing the terrain.

​

British, Australians, Canadians, New Zealanders and Americans all made sacrifices that are commemorated here, and we will study the most significant battles during the 1914-18 War in these areas.

​

The countryside today is really beautiful and the towns we visit are real gems in terms of architecture and ambiance, and a good balance of war history with free time to enjoy other aspects of this pleasant land.
