From the trenches of the World War I, to the hedgerows of Normandy; from the "Black Sands" of Iwo Jima; to the hills of Korea and the jungles of Vietnam, MHT has transported thousands of "pilgrims" to the areas of importance to them. Tours are limited in size to provide a "one on one" experience and are lead by an experienced professional who has traveled extensively in the specific location. Guest historians and speakers, plus tour hosts, are added to provide an "in-depth" perspective.
