School History Trips

Step into the story…

Our school history trips are the perfect opportunity to broaden young minds and put the past into a wider, real-world perspective.

Understand the effects that the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall, a symbol of division and reconciliation, had on communities. Or perhaps dive into one of the most iconic accounts of Jewish life during the Nazi era with a visit to the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam.

Immerse your students in social, military and political history with a visit to New York and Washington or explore the greatest invasion in modern history, D-Day, with a trip to Normandy.

Visiting the very places these world-shaping moments in history unravelled will captivate your student’s curiosity for exploring and interpreting evidence out of the classroom.

Course-specific and personal development, cultural capital  and history brought to life – all wrapped into one time capsule.

Why schools choose us

Had another fantastic trip to Krakow with Rayburn Tours. The trip was absolutely perfect; everything went according to plan and the students had an incredible experience. The service provided by Rayburn was consistently excellent, from the initial planning all the way through to the end.

Another brilliant WW1 Battlefields Trip organised by the team at Rayburn. They always meet our school’s needs and the students always have a rewarding time!

Excellent organisation and good combination of visits—it really encouraged our students to think and reflect.

I would like you to know that we have been very impressed with our correspondence with Rayburn this year. As our Berlin trip is a regular one, we will definitely look to give you the business for our trip next year.
