With the growth of interest in Ireland's contribution to WW1 and WW2 we, as advisors on history and battlefield tours, have joined forces with a fully bonded tour company Lee Travel. Military Heritage Tours / Lee Travel will continue to be the most experienced Irish battlefield tour company dealing with the Irish contribution to The Great War, World War Two and other conflicts. Military Heritage Tours / Lee Travel are now now in a position to deal with this surge in interest and have extended the programme to deal with school tours, family groups and specialist tours.
We firmly believe in the concept of Reconciliation Through Education. It is only when people touch history that they can lose preconceived notions and learn what really happened and why.

Our concept is straightforward.
A. We remember the forgotten Irish soldier and enable his family to remember him.
