History Alive! & Jersey Military Tours

Highly recommend this tour, we absolutely loved it and it's worth every penny of the £45pp you will pay. We had no idea that Jersey has so much WW2 history with the island full of bunkers and thanks to this tour and Phil knowledge we got to understand it really well. Basically Phil, your guide, will pick you up in his massive Land Rover at the pre-arranged time and then drive you across the island to several bunker/tunnel sights given you all the history on the way. This also means that there can be only 4 max on the tour given the car constraint. We saw 4 different sights, 3 bunkers and 1 tunnel complex in the space of 4h. What is great is that the tour is relatively informal in that there is no set number of sights (Phil has the keys to 20+ bunkers) and no set time at each sight; you go at your own pace, ask Phil any questions about WW2 but also about Jersey itself as he is a true local. For instance 2 of our sights were initially not planned but when Phil heard we were unable to go to the War Tunnels Museum, he took us to see some tunnels. Phil has clearly done this for a number of years and his expertise, good vibes and smooth driving really make for a great tour.

I'll be honest, through this tour you kind of get a private tour of the island itself and Phil will answer any question you may have. This fully justified us not booking our own car since we spent 4h going around anyway. £45 may seem steep but it's worth it given that it's an almost private tour and it funds the research that Phil and his colleague do for the island. Highly recommend this over the War Tunnels Museum.

PS: you also get to touch all kinds of cool (deactivated) weapons

You WON'T BELIEVE the hidden side to Jersey. We were so lucky to be able to access this exceptional tour at short notice. The guide is fantastic and the secret places you get to explore are amazing

Hands down the best military tour on the Island. Various sites covering a few hours of exploring. Guide is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Lucked out. A must for any enthusiast or history buff. Hands on with real artifacts and a side to the occupation of Jersey during WW2 few have gotten to see.

A definite must. Phil was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. Makes a big difference being shown around and also told how things worked, how they were used.
I have been to see a few of the bunkers around the Island, but going with Phil was certainly a good idea. Can definitely recommend.

Absolutely brilliant tour. Cannot fault it. Not usually my kind of thing but the places we went to and Informative guides were brilliant and made it so interesting. Thanks Phil and Luke for a great time. Would highly recommend.
