You may also bring one small carry-on bag (backpack or similar) per person. If you have more luggage, please make arrangements to store it prior to joining the tour.

We were a party of Australians attending the Dawn Service at Villers-Bretonneux and touring the battlefields. The tour was strenuous because of all the events and places however we expected this. Steve was a great guide, hugely well informed, cheerful and considerate. Accommodation problems were difficult however there was a great influx of tourists - particularly Aus - for this week and everyone did their best and we had a wonderful experience.Show more
