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.

Popular school history tours


Although there are a thousand and one different location and historical subject combinations available, some school history tours are more popular than others. Here are a few of the common themes, though it your school requires a type of trip that we do not currently highlight on this page, please use the tailor made trip form and we will do our best to help find exactly what you are looking for.

Battlefield Tours - Poland, Germany
The two World Wars in the first half of the twentieth century will live on in memory for many generations to come. An important part of our nation's social history, a school tour to the battlefields of France and Belgium, to the concentration camps of Poland or the divided streets of Berlin, will give students a better understanding of world events.

Classical History - Greece, Rome
The Classical period of history lasted roughly from the seventh century BC until the fifth century AD. Concentrated around the Mediterranean, there are still numerous sites in modern day Greece and Italy that will show students how people lived and give them a real feel for how life was during that period of history.

Art History - Paris
If this history of art is an important topic for your students, look no further than Paris. Quite apart from being an incredible city to visit in any context, Paris has more art galleries than you could wish for. Art history students cannot help but be inspired by the incredible works housed in the French capital.

Medieval History & Political History - Ireland
Ireland is so easy to get to, and has so much to offer groups of school children who are studying history. The two most requested topics we receive are Medieval and Political history. Learn about the Viking and Norman invasions of Ireland, or about the changing face of Northern Ireland between 1920 and the modern day.
