The lead-in price for the five-day The Somme Offensive tour, starting on May 29, 2023, is £649. Customers will get access to the trenches at Theipval Wood and an evening meal at Le Tommy cafe in Pozières, France.
Prices for the tours start at £329 for the three-day Richard III: The Battle of Bosworth 1485 tour.
All battlefield tours include coach travel, hotel accommodation with selected meals, and key visits. A guide will lead each tour.
Head of retail sales, Ashley Dellow, said: “The demand for battlefield tours shows no sign of declining, as more and more people become fascinated by the history that shaped the world.
“The interest in genealogy provides agents with a great opportunity to sell tours to multi-generation family groups, tracing their ancestors’ military history.”
