A1 Hill Tours

These tours usually focus on walking paths across the hill, learning about the final assaults, and understanding the strategic role the hill played. Expect a practical, history-focused experience rather than a large museum-style setup. The site is compact, making it easy to explore while gaining context about the wider battlefield.
