Anglia provide expertly led history tours illuminating historical events with real, personal stories with exam board accredited itineraries.
At Anglia, we care about our customers, our staff, the places we visit, the stories we tell and the organisations we work with. We work with teachers to design bespoke tours which support the teaching of a broad range of History topics.
We work with you to design a bespoke tour which meets the specific needs of your school and which supports what you are teaching in class. We start by asking what you want your students to see and what you want them to experience then build the tour around these requirements.
Anglia also has twenty five years of experience of providing the full range of quality Battlefield Studies and Staff Rides for the Armed Forces.
Testimonials
Testimonial 1 for Anglia Tours
Comberton Village College
It was excellent. I like that there is always a bit of flexibility on this trip to include/exclude things based on what's going on. We were able to include 2 fantastic pilgrimages to see the graves of relatives of students on our trip.
Testimonial 2 for Anglia Tours
HMS Northumberland
This is a very short note to say thank you for such a well-organised trip: both on the ground and behind-the-scenes! All involved had an excellent few days and it was entirely down to the professionalism of everyone I have encountered who works for Anglia Tours that this was the case.
Case Studies
Berlin & Krakow Q&A with Thomas Telford School
Why do you choose a tour operator to organise your trip and why choose Anglia?
I have a long standing relationship with Anglia. Trust and respect are the key reasons why I travel with them each year.
How do you plan/generate interest for this trip in the school?
I launch this trip for A Level students at the start of school year. It has been a regular trip for the last 10 or more years so they now expect it.
How does Anglia help you to plan the trip and does it make life easier for you?
In the early days I found the consultation visit really useful but as we know what I want to do on the trip, I now no longer need one. I have ideas about what I want to include and they coordinate them into a practical tour. This saves me hours.
Why do you choose a guided history trip?
Anglia’s guides offer expertise way beyond what a class teacher could bring. Their tours also offer excellent CPD too for my more inexperienced staff. They also have invaluable local experience of the areas we visit and can support us with language barriers.
It’s a busy itinerary covering Berlin and Krakow – do your guides help you to get a lot done in a short space of time?
Very much so. I could not do it without the expertise and local knowledge of Ian and Sam.
How do your guides bring history to life on the trip?
Its their enthusiasm passion and ability to make it personal. They really involve the students too - its not a case of them talking to the students, they are talking with them.
Could you tell us more about the benefits of the study visit to Auschwitz?
Its about empathy. Walking in the footsteps of history is a very powerful motivator and to spark interest.
Have you applied any of your experiences/ knowledge gained on the trip back in the classroom?
We do this all the time
What were the highlights of the trip for you?
Ian and Sam, our guides, are the highlight of the trip.
What are your top tips to other teachers thinking of taking a guided history trip to Berlin and Krakow?

Wren Academy
Absolute perfect battlefield guides and are a credit to Anglia Tours. They go out of their way to make the experience personal for the students, researching their relatives and going on pilgrimages to pay their respects. They build an incredibly strong positive relationship with staff and students alike, and have the perfect combination of expertise, integrity and humour to make the trip a memorable experience for all involved. I cannot thank them enough, on behalf of Wren Academy, for absolutely everything they do.
