Where do you go?
On our tours, we will visit different fortifications from WW2. Transport between these sites is a free shuttle service we offer. You may handle WWII weaponry, mines, and artefacts (all safe). The sites visited and the route will change during the different seasons and depending on maintenance and current projects.
Why Choose us?
There is no better way to learn about the Occupation during the second world war than with Jersey War Tours. JWT is the only Non-Profit Organisation offering military tours in Jersey. The profit JWT makes gets reinvested back into WW2 research, preservation, education and archaeology. We are not commercial tour guides so are passionate about sharing our history and providing you with an experience that you will never forget. Excellent feedback, please see our TripAdvisor reviews, well apart from a few people who did not book early enough to get on the tour. Please book early to avoid disappointment.
What's the weather like?
We want you to have a fantastic experience, so please bear in mind when preparing for your tour. Jerseys weather can be unpredictable in Jersey so dress in layers. There is a moderate amount of walking involved so please wear comfortable shoes. The tour will run no matter the weather, so please make sure you have dressed appropriately.
What to wear and bring?
We recommend having a coat and dress for the season
Bunkers are usually 13°C /55°F so in the summer they feel cold and in the winter quite warm
Walking boots, sensible trainers, or comfortable walking shoes. Do not wear sandals or flip-flops
Some bunkers are damp, and trails to them can be muddy
Water or a drink, snacks, sunscreen (summertime), and photography is allowed
We have plenty of torches, but feel free to bring your own
How physically fit should I be to join a tour?
You don’t need to be an athlete nor do you have to have previous experience in exploring bunkers, but you must be physically fit and able to walk unaided on rough and uneven terrain, especially at night. There are trip hazards, low doorways and many ways to injure yourself and you enter all sites at your own risk. There will also be ladders and steep steps to contend with, sometimes in low-light situations.
Who should not participate in our tours?
People with a history of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases or pre-existing conditions are not compatible with physical activities.
Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs, exploring bunkers can be dangerous, so we need you at your best
Anybody that suffers from dizzy spells or have any concerns that they could faint
