Why not let "In the footsteps" design a tour for you
In the footsteps can design a group tour to fit your specifications allowing you to do something different with your group. You can visit a particular battlefield, follow in the footsteps of a particular unit or even visit a variety of battlefields to suit your requirements. These tours can be combined with other activities and are totally flexible. The price of a group tour is available on request.
