Battlefield Tours
Welcome to the SET-UK website which features a variety of exceptional
study travel. Make your school trip stand out from the crowd and choose
one of our battlefield tours http://www.set-uk.com/SchoolTours/battlefield_main.html
covering two Great Wars of the last century. World War 1 visits consist
of day battlefield tours to The Somme and Ypres. Our World War II
battlefield tours are primarily to Normandy, but there are, scattered
all over Northern France, grim reminders of the German Occupation
that can be visited. Our aim of offering an educational and quality
experience is of course paramount. This is why all of our battlefield
tours are led by experts with twenty years of teaching experience
in their particular fields.
One of our World War I tours of our battlefield tours goes to the
city of Ypres http://www.set-uk.com/SchoolTours/battlefield_ww1_ypres.html.
Ypres is a town totally rebuilt from its ashes as a base for our battlefield
tours. In the aim to outline the destiny of the average ‘Tommy’
called to the front, our educational tour will draw on soldiers diaries
and contemporary writing by making plentiful use of poetry.
In can modify this tour by choosing amongst visits to cemeteries,
memorials and museums and in the case of Ypres, we would suggest a
study stopover in ‘Flanders Fields’, which would be a
completely different ‘hands-on’ experience. For information

Our battlefield tours featuring World War II will lead you to the
Normandy http://www.set-uk.com/SchoolTours/battlefield_ww11_normandy.html
which is characterised by medieval castles, attractive half-timbered
houses and small, animated towns. Visits are possible to many manufacturers
and we can offer guided tours of intriguing towns such as Bernay or
Lisieux, and certainly Rouen! We can either follow the historical
aspects of the area as in our sample programme http://www.set-uk.com/SchoolTours/battlefield_ww1_somme.html
or instead tailor-make a choice of yours.
As with all the tours and visits we organise, we are always receptive
to your wishes and ideas and would welcome the opportunity to discuss
