Royal Conflict Tourism (RCT) is founded on the principle that history is most vivid when explored at the locations where pivotal events occurred. Our focus on monarchical conflicts – from succession crises and civil wars to international battles directly ordered or led by kings and queens – offers a compelling, dramatic, and often overlooked lens on history. Based initially in regions rich in such history (e.g., UK, France, parts of Germany, Italy, Spain), RCT operates as a provider of small-group and private tours. We are a registered tour operator committed to historical accuracy, safety, and delivering exceptional customer value. Our business structure supports both direct-to-consumer sales and potential partnerships with travel agencies.
