Highly recommend

Being an unfit over 50s male with no military experience i was a tad nervous when first introduced to my expedition colleagues all fit as anything and ex UK military I could not have been made more at home relaxed reassured and generally made to feel incredibly confident by their approach and demeanour As for the expedition - was simply brilliant A genuine challenge but not a silly one Lots of history gallons of it Amazing experience with the locals their history their sacrifices and experiences Great equipment well planned and executed and i would highly recommend this to anyone seeking something out of the ordiary Cant wait for my next one

What an amazing experience the SOE team

What an amazing experience the SOE team provided A unique and unforgettable view of Op Gunnerside the 1942 WW2 attack on the Nazi Vemork heavy water production plant that was dramatised in the film Telemark Hero s staring Kirk Douglas and Richard Harris by way a 5 day well organised expedition following the route that the saboteurs used on the attack along with exclusive use of the huts that were used back then What an outstanding time Looking forward to my next expedition with SOE

Something for everyone

I wanted a bit of a challenge for the

I wanted a bit of a challenge for the anniversary of my 50th lap of the sun in 2023 and came across SOE and the two week escape route from southern Norway to Sweden The expedition was impeccably planned and executed by Matt and his team in some very trying arctic conditions All members of the expedition were molded into a functional team that operated as a unit and thrived in the adverse conditions The historical aspect of the expedition and its significance to the Norwegian people and the allies overall victory in WW2 was delivered in an opt in out style that suited all levels of interest If you are looking for a five star adventure with the possibility of blisters muscle strain and fatigue look no further you have found it at SOE

SOE Expeditions

After deciding to go on this SOE trip to Norway I was a little apprehensive tbh but Mathew cheif instructor made me feel at ease and I was confident I could do this trip It was challenging at times and pushed me well outside my comfort zone but was so rewarding as I experienced and completed a piece of history with an amazing team of guys that all had the same objectives We worked great together and I made some great friends I absolutely loved this trip and can recommend it to anyone who wants to do something a little bit special with a very professional organisation looking forward to my next Adventure with SOE EXPEDITIONS highly recommended

Crete May 2024 80th anniversary of the

Crete May 2024 80th anniversary of the abduction of General Kreipe I had a fabulous time on this trip I am not a dedicated military history buff but I really enjoyed following in the footsteps of a famous heist We were guided by the excellent Manoles and Irakles - they knew the history and the trail intimately and looked after us with infinite generosity and care We visited all the key hideouts camping in bothies at 1 750 metres and seeing the real Crete We visited a number of private WW2 museums and saw all the key sites of the Battle of Crete in 1941 Thanks to Matt for organising everything so well

80th anniversary of kidnap of Gen Kreipe in Crete

Absorbing week trekking over the spine of Crete following the route of the British abductors of the German commander 80 years ago Manilos was a peerless guide and together with Irakles who was a very competent and relaxed driver the pair gave us a great insight into the island its people and its history The Cretan welcome was uniformly warm and I think we all very much enjoyed meeting Manilos friends One or two wrinkles at the UK end but a great trip
