Welcome to Historica Tours

Historica has been running specialised tours in European cities for several years, catering for those interested in exploring their European heritage. For 2013 Historica is offering five study tours with historical and artistic themes.

All tours are accompanied by an expert guide/lecturer and offer en suite accommodation in hotels located right in the historic centre of cities. Costs include return flights and transfer between hotel and airport. On request a journey by European railways between UK and the destination can be arranged.

Because of the increased cost of air travel and the steady decline of the pound, tours at these prices can only be offered if a sufficient number of people book early. To be realistic viable tour groups need to be assembled by the end of October, and preferably earlier. Bookings will be taken later but only if a sufficient group has identified itself earlier, and then not necessarily at these prices.
