Specialist Battlefield Guides
What makes these tours unique? Our guides. There are over 20 of them, headed by Paul Reed, Tony Lea and Bill McQuade.
They have studied. They understand why things happened … pinpoint exact moments for you … the tiny details or human quirks that often changed the course of history.
And if you have a relative who fought or died in a particular action, they’ll understand and make the tour more personal to you.

When Paul, Tony and Bill are not available, one of our carefully selected 2 team of specialist battlefield guides will accompany you.
