Advert: Warbus Tours offers a genuinely unique approach to touring the battlefields of Britain and Europe. We set off from the UK - generally starting from and returning to London. Pick-ups may be available in Newcastle, York or elsewhere depending on demand. Warbus parties travel in the custom-built sleeper coaches generally used for high-status concert tours. The bunks are two metres long and a light breakfast of cereals, fruit juice, toast, tea and coffee will be available in the lounge every morning. Warbus parties spend each day at a different location, making a tour of the battlefield and, where appropriate, a dedicated visitor centre or military museum. Each day starts with a briefing on the armies, the tactical practices and the battle and concludes with a discussion of the day's activities led by an experienced and highly-qualified specialist military history lecturer. Warbus parties arrive at each location early in the morning before the site becomes cluttered with tourists and there will never be more than fifteen in your party. You will have time to yourself afterwards to explore the area or just go for a drink or a meal before getting back on the bus for the next leg of the journey. Contact us at www.warbus.co.uk for details of our March 2012 trip or to arrange a bespoke tour of the places you want to visit on the dates you want to visit them.
