Unique & personal experiences for small groups
Looking for something exclusive? Something personal? Or, perhaps something with which you have a unique connection? The answer is an Arena Travel bespoke Remembrance Tour.
Why choose Arena Travel?
Arena Travel has a wealth of experience designing and operating battlefield tours both within the UK, to Europe, and other destinations worldwide. Family groups, MOD groups, societies and school alumni are just some of those who’ve travelled with us, and we’ve been delighted to host visiting groups from as far afield as the USA, Australia and New Zealand.
Our bespoke tour service allows you to choose the date, for how long you’d like to travel, and whether you prefer to travel by coach, rail or air. Tell us what and where you’d like to visit, and drawing on our expertise, you’ll enjoy a specially, tailor-made itinerary.
What makes our bespoke Remembrance Tours special?
We have an excellent relationship with a wide variety of hotels and airlines, and an extensive network of trusted ground agents and coaching partners. We understand the importance of creating a comprehensive, yet balanced, itinerary - allowing time for private Acts of Remembrance and to pay personal respects. The price of your tour reflects your itinerary and with all entrance fees and gratuities included, there are no hidden extras.
Finally, we only work with highly experienced, expert military history guides. Your guide will be carefully selected for their personality, and specialist knowledge of the area and subject, so you get the most out of your bespoke Remembrance Tour.
