BBJ Ltd. seek not to glorify war but to perpetuate awareness of the enormous sacrifice made on our behalf in the name of freedom and the debt of gratitude we owe.

Our World War 1 and World War 2 battlefield tours are individually tailored to the needs and wishes of group members. Because our groups normally number between 5 and 7, we are able to create a relaxed, informal and friendly atmosphere. Guests who accompany us on our tours come from all walks of life and span a wide range of ages and experience.

Our expeditions are suitable for anyone interested in the Western Front and Normandy, for history students, those needing to expand their knowledge of events of that time, and those wishing to discover the sites of where their forebears fought and are commemorated.

For those engaged on a personal pilgrimage to trace and follow the footsteps of their forebears, we will present copies of the research information gathered.

Every battlefield tour is meticulously researched and planned and it is the composition and wishes of the group members that determines the sites to be visited and explored. Each tour is very special to us as no two are the same.

We offer bespoke (customised) tours to accommodate those wishing to travel at different times from our schedule or in smaller or larger numbers and will be pleased to discuss options with you.

Historical Footsteps Tours - Phillip Lewis
`Website`	Historical Footsteps Tours
`Details`	We are a small company based in North West Kent that specialises in tours based around historical figures, incidents and events. We believe that history is best explored by retracing events in the locations where they actually took place. The majority of Historical Footsteps Tours are centred around London and southern England and range in duration from 2 hours to a full day. We believe that clients deserve as much of our personal attention as possible and, therefore, restrict our group sizes for walking tours to 10 people and the full day tours to 23 people. The majority of our tours are devoted to areas of historical interest that are covered by few if any other tour operators. Some of our tours such as the Jack the Ripper walking tour cover a greater number of sites than many other operators. Most tours will operate all year round. Please keep watching our website for details of our new tours as they are developed and become operational. Jack the Ripper Walking Tour During the late summer and autumn of 1888 a series of horrific murders took place in the East End of London that became known as the Whitechapel Murders. The murderer, who was given the title of Jack the Ripper was never apprehended. Relive this 'Autumn of Terror' with an Historical Footsteps walking tour through the streets of Whitechapel and Spitalfields. The London Blitz Walk In 1940, London and many other cities in Britain suffered a period of sustained air raids that tested the determination and courage of the civilian population of this country. Although most of the physical damage to buildings has been repaired it is still possible to see evidence of that period in our history. Why not join one of our Historical Footsteps Tours for a two and a half hour guided walk through some of the areas affected by the Blitz. Tour group numbers are limited to a maximum of 10 people. Tours start at Bank Underground Station. The Kray Twins Tour In the East End of London in 1933 twin boys were born. Their names would become well known throughout London and the rest of Britain as notorious gangsters in the second half of the 20th century. Ronnie and Reggie Kray spent much of their childhood and teenage years in Whitechapel and Bethnal Green. They achieved their first taste of fame as boxers but they are more famous for their gangland activities and crimes that included the murders of George Cornell and Jack 'the Hat' McVitie. The Invasion Of Britain 1940 In development The Battle Of Britain Tour Anyone looking out to sea from Dover in 1940 could clearly view the colossal German armaments along the French coast 25 miles away and witness overhead the daily troublesome Luftwaffe flights probing Britain's defences. Nobody doubted that it would be long before the Germans tried to invade Britain and it was obvious that, as a preliminary to such an invasion, Britain's air defences would need to be destroyed and its Royal Air Force (R.A.F.) rendered inoperative...
