Your Journey

All our adult tours begin and end at our base in Edinburgh. However, if you find it more convenient, you may join the group en route or at its destination in Belgium or France.

Thiepval Monument

The crossing of choice for both battlefield tours is from Hull to Zeebrugge. The overnight sailing is an enjoyable interlude in itself, and periodic comfort stops on both outward and return journeys guarantee your comfort.

We find that adult participants appreciate the opportunity to focus on the content of their tour from the outset. For this reason, and to help the journey speed past, full use is made of video and audio systems on the coach.
