As teachers across the country look to have a more diverse curriculum, I looked to change the battlefields we visited. I also wanted students to be more aware of the war beyond France and Belgium. Visiting Gallipoli is the perfect place for this.

About this trip

"Do you want the feeling of the battlefields of the Great War to yourself? Not wanting to join a line of coaches at Serre or Tyne Cot? If you’re looking to have a more diverse curriculum and would like your students to be more aware of the war beyond France and Belgium, then a tour to Gallipoli is the perfect destination

On the Gallipoli Peninsula you’ll spend very little time on the coach, with lots of walking, either on the beautiful sandy beaches, or across the hill tops. All are significant to the fighting of 1915/1916. With cemeteries dotted across the peninsula, you continue to get a sense of sacrifice on both sides." 
Martyn Hale, Kew House School

If you're looking to give your students a new insight into the First World War then Gallipoli is the perfect destination. You'll be supported throughout your tour with an Anglia guide who will ensure your visits and the narrative meet your curriculum needs, plus an expert local historical guide to navigate you around the sites and bring the human stories to life.

Why choose Anglia for Guided History Trips?

At Anglia we care about our customers, our staff, the places we visit, the stories we tell and the organisations we work with. These key principles define who we are and what we do. We believe they are also the reason why Anglia is the market leader in fully-guided history trips for UK schools. We work with you to design a bespoke tour, which meets the specific needs of your school and 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. A tour which, as the testimonials on our website show, your students will find thought-provoking, engaging and enjoyable.

Please can you pass on my thanks to both John and Sean who did a fantastic job as our guides on Friday. They were engaging and exceptionally knowledgeable which was noted by both staff and pupils. I would thoroughly recommend you as a tour provider, and hope to use you guys again in the future!

We definitely will be looking to re-book with you for next academic year
