Their tailor made tours are aimed at special interest groups whether it’s leisure, history, corporate, sports, agriculture, music, charity, youth or simply a group of friends wishing to travel together with the trip designed around the group’s interest and budget.

GTI Travel is especially well known for its unique Battlefield Tours that bring you through some of the most significant combat sites in European history as well as to important memorials, gravesites and breathtaking museums. The tours are accompanied by passionate historian guides who are recognised as the best guides in the business. We all know from experience that a great guide makes a tour great. While the Battlefield Tours are geared towards history fans they are an enjoyable experience for everyone as they visit incredible locations and there is plenty of time to explore local attractions and even catch up on some shopping.
