Eyewitness Tours is a small specialist company operated by Andy and Sue Thompson
who organise tours to the battlefields of WW1 and WW2.
We organise regular day and weekend tours to the Somme, Arras and Vimy, the Ypres
Salient, the Normandy Beaches and Arnhem. Future tours are being planned that will
take us further afield.
Our tours are fully inclusive and we include sites of personal significance where
possible.
Andy has been studying war and conflict for forty years and uses anecdotes from
his extensive reading to interpret the significance of the places and sites included
in the tours. Having been a history teacher for 38 years, Andy understands how to
draw his guest into the subject of war. Emphasis is placed on the human aspects
of these conflicts, illustrated with stories from the lives of individual soldiers.
Whilst many battlefield tours are no more than a scripted guided coach journey,
Eyewitness Tours are a genuine experience.
