Monte Cassino Battlefield Tour: you can visit Monte Cassino Abbey and the Battlefield with a tour guide

Our guided tours of the Battlefield of Monte Cassino and the Gustav Line are held every day by Anna Maria Priora a fully licensed Italian tour guide, following in the footsteps of the Allied Forces and the German troops in the Italian Campaign. I began working in the tourism sector in 2003, and after meeting many tourists, and having visited many historic Italian monuments, I decided about 10 years ago, that I had to follow my won path, and pursue my passion: the Second World War on the Western Front, and in particular the Italian campaign with its armies, infantries, regiments, but also the civilians with their suffering.

It is possible to join our Battlefield Tours from Rome, by taking a train to Cassino, or from Naples or Sorrento, taking again either a train or a bus to Cassino. Monte Cassino Is located approximately halfway between Rome and Naples. Traveling to Cassino is both simple and affordable.

Monte Cassino Battlefield Tour: why you must choose my Monte Cassino Battlefield tours

Because I speak German, English and French, I had been able to read a lot of documents in their original language, to be sure to trully understand the emotions of the soldiers involved in the battles, and the strategies that were planned in 1944. There are many books and movies about Hitler, his invasion of Europe and the life in the occupied countries, but usually the tour battles of Monte Cassino are less known. That’s why I wanted first and foremost to speak with the veterans in their own language, and to walk in their footsteps on the battlefield, to be a witness for the future.

Monte Cassino Tour: how my tours work

All Monte Cassino Battlefield tours start from Cassino Railway Station, next to the green kiosk in the middle of the square and our groups are  limited to a maximum of 8 people, as this ensures a more immersive and effective experience. However if you need a different pickup location from your B&B or Hotel, please let me know! We will explore the Battlefields on a small van, which allows us to navigate even the narrowest roads and hidden locations . I usually conduct my tours in English, but if you require a different language, we will find a solution. I can speak French, Spanish, English, German and, of course, Italian.

Monte Cassino Battlefield Tour: the long week of the war ceremonies

During the week of  WWII celebrations  all the ceremonies taking place on that day are included in my tours. It is difficult to know the exact schedule of the various ceremonies in advance, but I will do my best to keep you informed as soon as possible. 

Our Van

The tour will be held in a modern French van, with air conditioning and plenty of space for your luggage.
