Research into personal stories. This is what is special about these tours. A battlefield historian will carry out some research to find the locations relevant to individuals of interest to you. For example, the guide will explain what the service record means and cross-reference the war diaries and history books to find places where that person's unit served and even where they became a casualty. 

Maps and other supporting material handout.

This is more than a guided tour. This is an offer of a personalised visit to the battlefields of the western front with an itinerary that is tailored to your interests. Can adjust the itinerary to include locations and topics that are specific to you. If you want to visit the graves of a soldier or the places where they served, the guide will do our best to find out the background to what happened and why. You will cover the main sites of interest to the Australian visitor but will do it, as far as possible through the experiences of the people of most interest to the guests.

You will be charged for the guide’s time. Everything else is charged at cost, to keep the cost down for you, the guests.
