United kingdom educational tours.

Surrounded by ocean, the United Kingdom is made up of the island of Great Britain – England, Wales, and Scotland – and the northern part of the island of Ireland. Though geographically quite a small country, this nation’s legacy extends across the globe. A trip to the culturally rich United Kingdom offers students such a wealth of educational experiences that the biggest challenge will be choosing how to spend your time!

One of the oldest of the world’s great cities, London remains a highly influential player in global politics, economy, and culture. Students can tour the city on one of its iconic double-decker buses and get off on any point of interest. A good way to get a bird’s eye view of the city is to hea d to the South Bank of the Thames River for a ride on the famous London Eye , a 443-foot tall ferris wheel and one of London’s most popular attractions. Also located on the South Bank is Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre , where students can take a guided tour to learn about Shakespeare’s career as a playwright in London.

London is overflowing with historical points of interest, many of which are famous worldwide. The Tower of London was founded in 1066, and has served as a castle, a prison, an armory, the Royal Mint, and more throughout the centuries. Today this historic castle is home to the Crown Jewels. At Westminster Abbey , monarchs have been crowned for centuries and more than 3,000 famous Britons are buried there. Guarded by troops in colorful regalia, Buckingham Palace is the British monarch’s official residence and administrative headquarters. At the highest point in the city, students can see the enormous St. Paul’s Cathedral , a beautiful Anglican cathedral and the seat of the Bishop of London.

This fascinating city was established in the ninth century and has been home to many prestigious universities and colleges for the past 800 years. Numerous famous authors have lived in Oxford, including C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and Lewis Carroll. Some of the movie sets in the popular Harry Potter movies were modeled from sites in Oxford. On an educational tour to Oxford, students can learn about the history of the city and it’s university as they walk through the heart of the historic city center.

The city of Edinburgh offers many educational activities and attractions for students. A great place to start is the Royal Mile , a historic street that stretches from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse . Groups can take a tour at the historic Edinburgh Castle in Old City , which served as the residence for Scotland’s royal leaders for centuries. There students can learn about the history of the site and then have a chance to visit some of the existing buildings including the Crown Room, the Great Hall, St. Margaret’s Chapel and the Prisons of War exhibit. At the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen’s residence in Scotland, students can take a guided tour. For a panoramic view of the city, students can walk to Calton Hill , Edinburgh’s acropolis. At the Edinburgh Dungeon , students can see a darker side of Scotland by learning about the famous criminals that terrorized the people of Edinburgh throughout the ages.

The Cotswolds

Welcome to the Cotswolds, a idyllic region of rolling hills, quaint villages, and golden-hued limestone architecture that provides the quintessential English countryside experience for student travelers. In its northern reaches, the iconic city of Oxford stands as a beacon of academic excellence and architectural grandeur, boasting the venerable Oxford University and its stunning spires. To the southwest, the historic town of Bath enchants with its Roman-built baths and Georgian elegance, showcasing the rich history of its well-preserved architecture and the famous Bath Abbey . In the east, the town of Stratford-upon-Avon resonates as the birthplace of William Shakespeare, drawing visitors into its literary legacy through attractions like Shakespeare’s Birthplace and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre .

What services can you offer my group?

AES offers a flexible approach to our programmes and offer a myriad of services.  These include not only your standard activities such as accommodation, transportation, entrances, and the like, but also academic related guest lectures and site visits.

Are your proposals itemised?

What will be included on my proposal?

Our proposals are detailed and personalised depending on each individual programme.  We will often include a section highlighting options available to enhance your faculty led programme, such as specific guest lectures and site visits, which you may like to include depending on your budget parameters. 

I am coming to London and want to meet with a representative to discuss my programme. Is this possible?

We love having the opportunity to meet with our partners, and those who are looking to work with AES.  Please contact us and we would be happy to arrange a suitable time.

What happens if I need to contact AES during my programme?

England and UK History Tours

Student history tours of england and the u.k.: castles, royalty, war, and more.

The United Kingdom is brimming with history, from the era of the early Anglo-Saxons, through the Battle of Hastings, beyond the medieval era of castles and feudalism, to the horrors and victories of both World Wars, and so much more. Bring this history to life for your middle and high school students with educational tours of this majestic nation, where royalty still captures the attention of the world and mystery still hovers around famous sites.

London, Bath, Wales, and Beyond

On an educational trip in London, students can explore the vast history of human culture from all over the world in the British Museum, documents of great significance in the British Library, and British history in the Museum of London. Students can visit the many memorials and museums from the World War I and II eras, and key locales for the British government can also be seen.

In the City of Bath, students on English history tours can tour multiple eras and civilizations, as remnants of Roman, Palladian, and medieval architecture remain, allowing students to learn about the spread of Roman influence and the austerity of the medieval times.

In Wales, students can travel back to the Industrial Revolution of the United Kingdom. With quarries, public buildings, workers’ housing, railways, and more, this city is the Industrial Revolution preserved, giving your students a look at this momentous time in history from a perspective outside of the United States.

All around the country, students can explore castles, visit museums, and learn about the United Kingdom’s rich history. The National Museum of Scotland, various museums in each of the unique cities around the country, and more provide windows into the past for your students, all of which are just waiting to be explored on an exciting educational tour in England and the U.K.

Why Trust Son Tours to Help Plan Your Educational Tours in England and the U.K.?

So much history has occurred in the United Kingdom, and so much of that past is still there to explore. With such a vast array of sites available for exploration in the United Kingdom, you will have plenty of opportunities to walk your students through the ages.

At Son Tours, we want you to enjoy this opportunity as much as your students, which is why we take care of all of the details: booking, billing, accommodations, transportation, security, and more. This way, the experience is just as fun and exciting for you as it is for your students, and you don’t have to worry about the headaches that come with planning a transatlantic educational trip.
