When you want to dive deep into Britain’s and Western Europe’s rich historical tapestry, Travel England Tours Ltd offers an exceptional way in. This multi-award-winning destination management company is based in the UK and specialises in luxury, chauffeur-guided tours that combine comfort, expertise and storytelling. Their fleet includes Mercedes vehicles with free Wi-Fi, bottled water and a music choice — coupled with local guides who know the terrain inside out. They cater for private tours across the United Kingdom and extend into Europe, making them an excellent partner if you’re looking for something more bespoke than the standard coach-group excursions.
Battlefield Tours of Normandy
One of Travel England Tours’ most compelling offerings is their dedicated Battlefield Tours Of Normandy section. Their approach is described as “a continuous journey of remembrance and discovery” and they explicitly include WWII tours through key sites like the D-Day beaches in Normandy. For example, they offer a “3 Day Tour – WWII America’s D-Day Normandy Landings” designed to take you from the UK to the shores of Normandy, crossing from Portsmouth to Caen and visiting landmark sites such as Utah Beach, Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach and the Normandy American Cemetery.
What makes this particular tour special is the focus on the actual footsteps of history — not just surface sightseeing but immersion in memory and landscape. The company emphasises that their guides are military historians, academics and members of the International Guild of Battlefield Guides, lending deep credibility to the experience.
The Last Kingdom Tour
Another standout experience is the “The Last Kingdom Tour” – a five-day chauffeur-driven journey through Northern England that embraces the historical era depicted in the hit TV series The Last Kingdom. On this tour you explore the legacy of the ancient Kingdom of Northumbria, stretching across the modern regions of Northumberland, Durham and beyond.
What’s compelling here is that the tour weaves together architecture, landscape, heritage and the mythic past in a way that fans of the series — and history lovers alike — will appreciate. It offers the chance to discover the real places that inspired the story and provides the context behind the world of The Last Kingdom.
Why Travel England Tours Stands Out
What ties both of these tours — the battlefield experience and the Last Kingdom journey — together is Travel England Tours’ commitment to tailored luxury, deep storytelling and expert local knowledge. Their ethos emphasises comfort, private guides, flexibility and high-quality vehicles. Whether you’re retracing historic wartime events or diving into ancient Viking and Anglo-Saxon heritage, the company matches ambition with exceptional service.
So if your interests are in exploring history — be it the beaches of Normandy or the castles and landscapes of Northumbria — Travel England Tours offers a high-calibre choice for travellers seeking to experience the past in comfort and depth.
