A truly moving place to visit

France has endured its fair share of historical turmoil and tribulation. The close proximity to Britain makes France a popular destination for our history tours.

Many of the museums and information centres are an invaluable resource for expanding educational awareness of the period. Other historical places to visit include; Arromanches 360 Cinema, Memorial du Souvenir at Dunkirk, the Palace of Versailles and Thiepval Memorial to the Missing among others.

Why Choose The UK For An Educational Tour?

History is everywhere

One of the best things about the UK is that our history is on full-display, everywhere you look.

Students can stand inside medieval castles, walk through Roman ruins, or visit the very fields where battles shaped the course of history.

It’s one thing to hear about the Tudors or the World Wars in class. It’s another to see the Tower of London up close or witness the inner workings of Churchill’s war rooms. These experiences stick. They bring context and depth – something students can lean on during exams.

A literature lover’s dream

The UK has given the world some of its greatest writers. Maybe the next one is in your class!

To inspire them, why not watch a play at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, experience the incredible Harry Potter Studio Tour, or step into the home of Charles Dickens?

Incredible variety

Medieval cities. Rugged coastlines. Towering mountains. Bustling markets. Quiet villages.

Our trips are a chance to show young people the diversity of the country they call home. Whether you’re after the energy of London, the history of York, the captivation of Scotland’s castles, or you just want a fun experience at one of our many theme parks (such as Alton Towers), the UK is the place to find it all – and more!

    This depends on where you go and how long for. Plus, there’s the cost of different activities. We’ll keep it budget-friendly by organising a mix of activities tailored to your objectives. This will include both free (e.g. Natural History Museum) and paid (e.g. Tower of London) attractions.

    The top sights and attractions in the UK are at their busiest during summer, which you may wish to avoid. However, any time of year works well for a trip in the UK. Obviously, it’s worth bearing in mind that the weather can be… unpredictable. Packing layers, waterproofs, and a good sense of humour is always a smart idea.

    The good news? Crowds tend to thin out in spring and autumn, giving your group more space to explore. And many of the UK’s best museums, galleries, and historic sites are open year-round, making it easy to plan a memorable trip no matter the season.

    Your group can travel by coach to any of our destinations in the UK. This will make the trip more affordable and simplify the travel logistics. It also means you have a coach on hand for the entire duration of your trip, although in cities like London and Edinburgh it can be easier to use public transport, such as the Underground.
