History Alive’s tours are devised in a way to give our guests an overall and enjoyable experience which means that we won’t always follow the same route or stop at all the above highlights, although we will do our best to do so.

Without much documentary evidence from the medieval period, it’s history is a mix of legend, myth and known facts. Visit castles and battlefields, handle the weapons and solve the enigmas of this period.
