Quite simply, nothing can beat the freedom of exploring the battlefields without the rigid timetable of a coach/minibus group dictating when and where you can travel. How frustrating must it must be to see the battlefields passing before your very eyes without being able to stop wherever you want to stop, for however long you want to spend, exploring what you want to explore. The freedom to explor

e the battlefields at your own pace is what I always wanted since I first visited the battlefields over 40 years ago, so after having personally guided over 300 conducted tours since 1997 as a professional guide I set about the long and detailed task of producing our self-drive guides to allow anyone to jump in their car to explore the battlefields for themselves, free of all the constraints imposed by coach tours. Our self-drive guides will equip you with everything you need to convert what will in most cases be French or Belgium countryside back to the time of the Great War (if one drives through the battlefields today without a detailed guide there is little or nothing to help you comprehend what happened where. This is one of the biggest frustrations experienced by casual visitors who arrives unprepared). So. . .in a nutshell our nationally acclaimed self-drive Somme and Ypres battlefield bespoke tours allow you to travel when you want for as long as you want. We arrange your hotel accommodation, Channel crossing (for UK travellers) and provide all the maps, directions etc you’ll need, and of course, our all-important Self-Drive Somme and/or Ypres Battlefield Guides - your ‘window to the past’. No other guide has so much detail and is so easy to follow! Please also note that our Self-Drive guides are only available when combined with hotel accommodation (and optional Channel crossing) and as such cannot be provided separately. We also regret that we are at present unable to assist with car hire.

A Self-Drive tour, where you explore the battlefields in the safety of your vehicle, and where you don't have to mix with fellow coach travellers, is probably the safest, and perhaps the only way to truly explore the battlefields at your own pace.

With travel by Eurotunnel now running smoothly without the need for the restrictions we saw during the pandemic, we saw many more people taking Self-Drive tours this year (2022) and with ‘back to normal’ advance bookings for 2023.

Please see the ‘Testimonials’ page of our main website www.battlefield-tours.com for latest feedback from clients soon after they returned home from one of our Self-Drive tours. We are now also with Trust Pilot (search Somme & Ypres Battlefield Tours).

To book at tour or to just get a quotation, just email [email protected] (email preferred if possible please).

Update June 27 2022 - with the relaxation of Covid restrictions we are very much back in the driving seat arranging self-drive tours to the Somme and Ypres battlefields. Have a look at our most recent website testimonials from clients who have just returned from a tour www.battlefield-tours.com - or TrustPilot.

Travel to France by Eurotunnel (included in our self-drive tours) is proving really easy….with none of the airport disappointments that have plagued travel this year!

If you have in mind a visit to the battlefields of the Great War 1914-1918, then there’s no better time to travel, so just email us at [email protected] for a quotation.

We just need to know:

How many nights you have in mind (3-5 best)?
How many people?
How many rooms (i.e. double/twin/singles)?
Include Channel crossing?

Many thanks
