Italian Battlefield Tours

Bespoke tours of the First & Second World War battlefields of Italy

about us

Borghetti Associates offer individually tailored tours to the First and Second World battlefields of Italy.

You may wish to take a group to learn about the British involvement in the Italian First World Campaign in the North of Italy. Alternatively, you may want to follow a relative’s involvement in the Allied Second World Campaign on Sicily, at Salerno/Monte Cassino/Anzio, or against the Gothic Line. You recognise that an organised tour is unlikely to satisfy your needs and you would like a personalised programme, which potentially requires specific research. Your interest in battlefields may be matched by your enjoyment of wine, in which case it is also possible to combine an exploration of the war with an appreciation of the wines of the particular regions. Our experienced guides are able to provide a personal package to meet your specific needs. We believe the optimum length for a tour to be approximately 5 days.

Tour Itineraries

We use our knowledge of the First and Second World War campaigns in Italy to propose a personal tour that meets the requirements of each group, family or individual. The tour itineraries are illustrations of what can be arranged. This approach normally results in a more satisfactory experience for the client and for the guide than prescribed programmes.

War & Wine

As a break from the battlefield and reward for a day’s study, nothing beats a nice glass of local wine. With this in mind, we are delighted to offer tours that encompass an appreciation of wine alongside military history. There will be impromptu tastings and visits to some of the finest producers in the region hosted by our wine expert. We believe that war & wine make for natural bed fellows.

Pricing

Individually tailoring tours means arrangements can be made to suit the majority of budgets. Transportation, accommodation and meals can be provided to meet your particular needs, and it is perfectly possible to combine other Italian holiday plans with one of our tours.
