Historian Mat McLachlan would love you to join him on his Signature Tour of the battlefields of France and Belgium in 2024. The Signature Tour is the only tour that Mat personally escorts, and it is the most popular tour offered by Mat McLachlan Battlefield Tours.
In 2024 the tour will visit all the key Australian battlefields of the Somme, the Ypres Salient and French Flanders. It starts and ends in Paris, and includes upgraded accommodation in the heart of the battlefields, many meals, plus visits to bonus sites not included on other tours.
And the best part is, the tour is also hosted by leading battlefield historian Pete Smith, co-host of the BattleWalks podcast (with Mat McLachlan). That's two leading historians on the same tour!
The tour will book out quickly so, if you would like to join us, please visit https://battlefields.com.au/western-front-signature-tour-with-mat-mclachlan-2024/
The Mat McLachlan Signature Tour is a 9-day tour that departs Paris on September 16, 2024.

In this special Anzac Day episode, Mat McLachlan speaks to historians Pete Smith and Peter Hart about the landscape of Belgium, France and Gallipoli, and how the secrets of the battlefields are still being revealed more than a century after the guns fell silent. Pete Smith reveals relics he's found on the battlefields of the Western Front, and Peter Hart describes how getting off the beaten track at Gallipoli can be the most rewarding adventure of all.
