History
14 days

The history of the First and Second World Wars comes to life on this journey through England and France. From the battlefields of Normandy and Ypres, to the town of Battle where the William the Conqueror changed England’s history forever, the history books are brought into living colour. Sobering visits to military cemeteries and D-Day landing beaches are balanced with cultural explorations in London and Paris, while Australian Allied history is given focus through immersive experiences and guided tours of poignant battles. Our journey begins in London and ends in Paris.
