Think Gallipoli, El Alamein, Crete, Monte Cassino, Passchendaele, Le Quesnoy and the Somme. Think too of the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, the Sphinx and Pyramids of Giza, the ancient ruins of Greece, and medieval villages and towns of central Europe. Experience some of the world's smallest countries and marvel at hilltop fortresses and towns. Wander narrow cobblestone streets and travel quieter rural roads. Visit Italian gems such as the Isle of Capri, drive through the majesty of the Swiss Alps and enjoy the quaint charms of Tyrolean towns. Join this unique tour of Europe, taking in not only many of the sites where sacrifices were made by ANZAC troops during the two World Wars, but also lesser known places of interest. And, of course, there is the joy of experiencing the culture, food, drink and entertainment, with ample free time to seek out more of your own choosing.
