Knee Deep Into History LLC

At KDIH we design and guide WW1 and WW2 battlefield tours in Europe. Our philosophy includes: 1) Getting clients into the field as much as possible; 2) Guiding small groups (12 max.) to ensure greater interaction with the guides; 3) Presenting a balanced view of both sides of the story; 4) Designing tours for those seriously interested in history; and 5) introducing clients to local, not American, culture. We also excel in organizing bespoke tours for families or groups. Contact us with your tour needs.
