We continue to be humbled by our 2022 battlefield tour feedback and we live for our participant’s comments, because the battlefield tour feedback tells us that we are producing and operating high-quality tours! We encourage potential tour participants to read their comments in their own words, as shown below.

During our 2022 season–KDIH’s second operating season–Knee Deep Into History ran three small-group battlefield tours: The Meuse-Argonne and St. Mihiel, Verdun 1916 and Flanders Fields and the Somme. We also ran one bespoke private tour which took a couple to the location of their uncle’s death on the 104th anniversary of the death.

On a bespoke battlefield tour it is possible to take family members to the place where they fell on the day they fell. It is extremely moving to see the family's reactions.

Strong praise from KDIH customer Matt Switlik in this battlefield tour feedback!
It is quite common to find "rusty bits" from WW1 in the Meuse-Argonne battlefield sector.
Even today one still finds ordnance hidden in plain sight.
Great battlefield tour feedback from small-group battlefield tour participant Ken Baumann.
