With almost 40 years’ experience in operating battlefield and history tours, and more than 25 years providing exceptional school travel, we seek to bring history to life, understand the past, and ensure a memorable and rewarding battlefield tour for your students.

Each of our school tours can be tailor-made to suit the needs of your pupils, parents and school. While on history and battlefield tours, some schools prefer to visit a specific grave or war cemetery and lay a wreath, or many like to incorporate free time to enjoy other local attractions, simply let us know your requirements and we can build them into your itinerary.
