What to expect
Your guide will navigate you across multiple sites across a full day, stopping to discuss what happened at each location and why it mattered tactically and strategically. Expect plenty of walking between the minivan and viewpoints, though the pace accommodates most fitness levels. You'll spend time at the Airborne Museum examining exhibits and artefacts that contextualise the broader campaign. Weather won't cancel the tour, so come prepared with layers and waterproofs. Bring your own lunch or eat before departure, as meals aren't included.
