SCHOOL GROUP HISTORY TOURS

Take your students beyond the textbook with international school history tours that bring the past to life.

At Latitude Group Travel, we design curriculum-aligned History tours that support Australian Curriculum and IB learning outcomes. Whether exploring Ancient Greece, WWII battlefields, or the Civil Rights Movement in the US, our custom programs engage students through hands-on, inquiry-based learning. With immersive activities, expert-led workshops, and tailored itineraries for Modern, Ancient or Revolutions electives, students develop historical thinking skills and a deep connection to the past. Let us help your students experience history where it happened. 

Latitude Group Travel custom designs every tour, meaning we include locations and experiential learning activities appropriate to the subjects and strands your students are learning.

With our rich history and heritage, Australia is the perfect destination to provide students with real-world, experiential learning opportunities, that they cannot get within the classroom.

Create tour opportunities which foster a higher level of knowledge and pride in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and contributions. Our Central Australia (and other Indigenous) programs are 99% co-created with and showcase Indigenous owned businesses!

Extend the opportunity to travel to a wider cohort of students by developing a tour which combines a number of subjects. History can easily be combined with Art and/or a Language or any other subject choices you wish to make. Imagine all of your groups concurrently engaged in their own area of interest – workshop, clinic, class or themed guided tour (and more). Later, enjoy sightseeing and a range of other experiences together, so the groups feel as one. Considering a tour in this way will assist with economies of scale and helps meet your minimum participant number requirement.
