Pals Battalion Tours is an independent, family owned and operated tour company offering tailor-made national & international trips for schools in Scotland.
I'm Lucy, and this is my company. A company that came about because I have a passion for running school trips! Based in Fife, I've been a History & Modern Studies teacher for over 20 years. During this time I've planned and organised countless overseas trips. My love of history & culture alongside my passion for travel have inspired me to lead trips as near to home as Edinburgh and as far flung as America and China. As a history teacher, a highlight has always been journeys to the past to experience the WW1 battlefields of Belgium and France. This is where Pals Battalion Tours Ltd was born.

What we offer
Whilst tremendously rewarding for participants, anyone who has planned a school trip will know how fraught and time consuming the experience can be for organisers... and it's getting tougher all the time. This is where Pals Battalion Ltd comes in.
Pals Battalion Tours offer an experience like no other for all types of school trips. Offering a personal touch throughout, Pals Battalion Tours will ensure a cultural, educational and fun-filled itinerary, hassle-free organisation and at an affordable price.
Our approach
I value the personal touch and you'll deal directly with me.
I'll take time to discuss and help shape your plans - understanding the goals for of your trip and the experience you want for your group of young people.
Built around your requirements, I'll develop a fun-packed and informative itinerary.
I’ll calculate the cost of your trip and provide you with a quote.
I know how important it is for trips to be affordable for families. I'll strive to keep costs low and will also recommend a pupil payment schedule, spreading the cost over time.
Thereafter, I’ll liaise with transport operators, accommodation providers and event hosts, making bookings and payments on your behalf.
This eliminates the head-ache and complexity of having school administrators juggle contracts and payments to multiple providers, often in different currencies.
If you’re an educator considering a school trip near or far then Let Pals Battalion Tours take the strain.
Why not drop me a message to see how I can help.
