Tailor-made School History Trips

Help students ‘step into the story’ with a School History Trip to some of the world’s most significant historical sites.

Our school history trips are designed to bring the subject to life by giving students the opportunity to witness, relate to, explore and interpret evidence outside the classroom and put the past into a wider, real-world perspective.

Why schools choose us

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!

Christopher Ellis- 2023- Belgium

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.
