Overseas History school trips
put historical events in context
Overseas school history trips and tours give students an experience that can bring them closer in understanding to historical events, cultures, and locations they have been taught about in the classroom.
Taking your students to the places they have read about in textbooks is an unbeatable way to improve their knowledge and comprehension. By actually visiting sites where historical events took place, your students will gain a much better understanding of history and context.
To help you get the best out of your school history trip, knowledgeable guides and historical experts will be able to share insights and stories. Engaging your class and helping them better understand the events that took place.
School history trips abroad also give students the chance to immerse themselves in different cultures through cuisine, people and experiences.
Whether you will be exploring medieval castle sites in a European city, walking in the footsteps of the soldiers of the WWII battlefields, or soaking up ancient history in cities like Rome and Athens, below you will find a wide range of school history trips.
The tour companies that we work with all have tonnes of experience when it comes to organising school history trips. They know that every school will have its own unique objectives for the trip and that is why they will work with you to design the perfect history tour for your students. Whether you plan a teacher led history tour or wish to make use of guides with specialist subject knowledge to support your teaching, the trips below can meet your requirements.
