Why Choose Dublin For An Educational Tour?

Poignant History

Dublin is a great choice for a trip focusing on political history. If you’re studying Home Rule, the Easter Rising, the Troubles or the partition of Ireland, then there’s plenty to discover on informative tours across Dublin, including important site, such as:

  • Kilmainham Gaol – Now a museum with excellent tours and exhibitions, the former political prison held famous nationalists and revolutionaries, including the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising.
  • Glasnevin Cemetery – A non-denominational burial ground, and a powerful symbol of the nation’s history, Glasnevin Cemetery is is a brilliant visit for students, with exhibitions covering Ireland’s political evolution.
  • Dublin Castle – Built over 800 years ago, the castle served as the seat of British rule in Ireland until 1922.

Your class will have students with backgrounds from all faiths, political orientations, and belief systems. Exploring something as contentious and storied as Ireland’s recent history is an excellent way to thoughtfully reflect, debate, and learn from the past – creating more mature, balanced minds. 

Better yet, you’ll be doing it in a place that’s absolutely packed with things to see and do. Walk the beautiful grounds of Trinity College, relax in the lush St Stephen’s Green, stand at the infamous St. James Gate, and enjoy the buskers of Grafton Street – all part of a lively city like no other.

    Inspire with the sights, sounds and stories of Marrakesh.

    With so much to learn from the local communities, the nearby geographical wonders, and the blend of different cultural influences, Marrakesh makes a wonderful option for a school trip.

    Students will be able to draw connections between their studies to date and real-world experiences across a range of subjects, including art, food tech, geography and social studies.

    It’s particularly popular for geography classes, with key study themes present at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, across the Sahara Desert, and along the Moroccan coast. 

    If you would like to run a trip to Marrakesh, reach out to our team for help. Our travel advisors will help you plan and deliver every aspect of your tour, from start to finish. 

    Why Choose Marrakesh For An Educational Tour?

    Discover A New Culture

    Cookery classes, sharing traditional meals and visiting the medina for local shopping experiences. Just a few days spent in Marrakesh and nearby rural Berber villages will teach a great deal about timeless traditions and way of life, broadening the horizons of your students.

    Furthermore, a school trip to Marrakesh will likely be very different to many places your students have visited before. New sights, sounds, smells, and an energetic environment will no doubt create an experience that lasts long in their memory.

    Geographical

    During a special trip to the Atlas Mountains, students will learn important take-home and actionable messages about climate change and the impact it has on rural communities.

        An unforgettable lesson in resilience and discovery.

        School trips to Belfast are quickly growing in popularity. With no need to change currency, Belfast is easy to access, more budget-friendly than alternative European city options and offers a wide range of excursions to make it a curriculum-rich trip – especially for those interested in history and politics.

        There’s plenty to keep students occupied, even when they’re not on an academic experience. They’ll soak up the local culture at places like St. George’s Market and the Cathedral Quarter.

        If you want to plan a school trip to Belfast, but you’re not sure where to start, get in touch. We work with thousands of schools each year to create trips that blend learning, discovery, and fun.

        Get started today by filling out our contact form and speaking with one of our travel advisors.

        Why Choose Belfast For An Educational Tour?

        Visible History

        In Belfast, your students will have the eye-opening opportunity to learn about what took place on the streets of the city, and across the country, in a raw, recent and relevant history lesson. 

        Walking tours will take in famed murals and memorials, and they’ll be garnished with local knowledge and curiosities from passionate guides – many of whom have personal experiences to share. Naturally, it’s a sensitive subject that requires a careful approach, but your trip can help explain the Troubles and the Northern Ireland Peace Process in a balanced, accessible manner for your group.

        Modern Politics

        The past shapes much of Northern Ireland’s political discourse today. Your students can explore this by visiting Stormont, the seat of the Northern Ireland Assembly.

        On a guided tour of the Parliament Buildings, they’ll learn about the unique power-sharing system of government. For an even more engaging experience, groups can take part in a session with a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA), giving your pupils the chance to ask about contemporary political issues, democratic processes, and the challenges of governance in Northern Ireland today.

        Titanic Museum

        While Dublin has the famous Guinness Storehouse, attracting millions of visitors each year, Belfast has its own unique and equally popular attraction, the awe-inspiring Titanic Museum. Built on the slipways where history’s most famous ship was constructed over 100 years ago, it’s an experience telling the full story of the Titanic through interactive exhibitions, galleries and an underwater cinema, to name but a few elements.

        Example Itinerary

        Below we’ve put together an example itinerary for a short, overnight trip to Belfast. Please note that this is only an example of a tour that we could organise; everything can be adapted to fit your needs.

          The taste of France, the spirit of discovery.

          Bordeaux, in the southwest of France, is a stunning location for a school trip. While most schools associate a French trip with visiting Paris or Normandy, Bordeaux is an underrated gem. It’s an energetic, young-feeling city, owing to the thousands of university students who study here, but it’s dotted with beautiful medieval and Roman ruins to capture your students’ imagination.

          We highly recommend Bordeaux as an immersive experience into French culture, perfect for language classes. You’ll explore local art, history, food, vineyards, and architecture, all the while becoming more confident with speaking, listening, and reading in French.

          Whatever you want your trip to achieve, we’ll help make it happen. There are countless ways to combine learning and fun, and we’re here to bring it all together. 

          Speak to one of our advisers to get started today!

          Why Choose Bordeaux For An Educational Tour?

          Real French experience

          You’ve covered vocabulary, grammar, and communication skills in class. Now it’s time to put everything into practice and let your students experience the French language in action. Nothing solidifies learning like being immersed in the culture with endless opportunities to try your hand at conversing en francais. 

          That’s where a week-long host-family experience can pay huge dividends. We can organise for your students to stay with trusted, local families for the duration of the trip. Mornings will be spent completing lessons in the local language school, afternoons will be spent enjoying an activity, while evenings will be spent with their host families. Your students will step outside of their comfort zone to integrate and contribute to the daily rigour of family life, all in a safe and welcoming environment.

          This is an experience like no other. The difference in your students’ confidence, skill and passion for French before and after the trip will be stark.

          World Heritage Sites

          Encourage your students to connect with the city’s history and culture through a walking tour, taking time to understand and appreciate the city’s UNESCO World Heritage status. 

          You can take this further with just a short journey from Bordeaux. The countryside village of Saint-Émilion offers students a fascinating glimpse into French life, from its medieval architecture and underground monuments to its centuries-old winemaking traditions.

          Example Itinerary

          Below we’ve put together an example itinerary for a school trip to Bordeaux. Please note that this is only an example of a tour that we could organise; everything can be adapted to fit your needs.

            Big thrills, bigger ideas.

            There are very few school trips that excite students more than Orlando. The mere mention of a visit to Florida, the Sunshine State, will light up your students’ faces.

            The fact that it’s home to some of the world’s most famous theme parks might play a part. But there’s far more to Orlando than rollercoasters.

            In fact, it’s one of the most exciting educational destinations out there.

            From the cutting-edge science of the Kennedy Space Centre to the impressive wildlife of the Everglades, Orlando brings a huge range of subjects to life. And yes, there’s plenty of fun to be had along the way.

            Our team will handle all the logistics – flights, accommodation, visits and transport – so you can focus on enjoying an unforgettable trip with your students. Fill in a contact form to get started.

            Why Choose Orlando For An Educational Tour?

            Space exploration

            Who didn’t dream of becoming an astronaut when they were small?

            The Kennedy Space Centre brings that dream to life. Students can stand beneath the mighty Saturn V rocket, train like astronauts, and learn about the missions that shaped history. It’s a truly unique, educational experience, yet packed with incredible fun. Trust us, it’s one they’ll never forget.

            Once you return to Earth, you can visit the Orlando Science Centre. With an equally impressive range of interactive exhibits, the centre covers everything from human biology to renewable energy. And you can top it all off with an airboat tour of the Everglades, where students can catch a sight of Florida’s most famous residents, such as alligators, manatees, and flamingos.

            Theme park fun

            There’s no chance of visiting Orlando without hitting at least one of the big theme parks.

            And with more than 10 major parks, there are plenty to choose from. Most schools opt for one Disney and one Universal park, but you can mix and match whichever you want. 

            We can add in educational elements, too. Live workshops and student-friendly events can help make the absolute most of your time at the parks.

              Germany’s gateway to the world.

              From the red-brick warehouses of the historic Speicherstadt to the futuristic Elbphilharmonie concert hall, Hamburg is a place where past and present collide.

              The result?

              One of Europe’s coolest, most fascinating cities. For teachers, Hamburg offers a brilliant opportunity for students to learn more about German culture and practice their language skills.

              And the best bit? It’s compact, safe, and easy to get around. Perfect for giving students their first taste of independence while still under your watchful eye.

              Whether your group is studying history, business studies, geography or German language, you can bring classroom learning to life in Hamburg.

              All you need to do is tell us your objectives, and we’ll take care of the rest – flights, accommodation, transport, visits and activities. Get in touch today to get started.

              Why Choose Hamburg For An Educational Tour?

              A global trade hub

              Known as Germany’s “Gateway to the World”, Hamburg is the country’s largest port and a hub of global trade. On a guided tour of the port, students can see first-hand how imports and exports work, and how logistics networks connect economies around the world.

              The UNESCO-listed Speicherstadt warehouse district is another highlight. Its Gothic-style warehouses and winding canals are a striking backdrop for learning about trade, architecture and urban planning.

              A city rebuilt

              Part of the medieval Hanseatic League, lucrative maritime trade shaped Hamburg’s early identity, but the devastation of the Second World War forced an almost-complete reconstruction. For your students, there are powerful lessons in conflict, politics, and social change to explore.

              St. Nikolai Memorial, bombed by Allied forces during Operation Gomorrah, hosts a museum where your group can reflect on the human cost of war and learn how Hamburg rebuilt itself into a thriving, modern city. 

              This is an interesting change of perspective for students. They’re often familiar with the impact of the Blitz, for example, but unaware of the effect Allied bombing campaigns had on German life.

                Education meets inspiration on the French Riviera.

                Organising a school trip is no mean feat. It involves a huge amount of planning and preparation, starting with picking a destination. Wherever you choose needs to support your educational goals, while also being engaging and fun for students.

                Step forward, Nice.

                Sitting on the sizzling French Riviera, it’s one of the best locations for students to practice and enhance their French skills.

                Plus, with a strong, distinct cultural heritage, countless amenities and beautiful sights, Nice is a popular pick for an educational tour. 

                And as for the rest of the planning and preparation? That’s where we come in. Our role is to make booking and going on your trip as simple and stress-free as possible. To get started, fill in a contact form or give our team a call.

                Why Choose Nice For An Educational Tour?

                Language immersion

                A school trip to Nice offers a brilliant immersion experience for groups studying French – whether it’s a GCSE class prepping for exams, or younger year groups getting to grips with the basics. 

                We even have partner language schools in Nice, where your group can take part in lessons taught by native speakers. Beyond that, students will have the opportunity to practice their speaking skills in museums, markets and cafes – boosting confidence in their abilities.

                Cross-curricular scope

                Most groups visit Nice as part of a language-focused trip. That doesn’t mean you can’t team up with other departments for a cross-curricular experience, though.

                Nice has long been a city that attracts artists and thinkers, and this is captured in the city’s range of modern-day cultural attractions. Musee Matisse and Musee Chagall, for example, show off the work of two modern masters from the Cote d’Azur – Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall.

                Meanwhile, the dramatic coastline of the French Riviera, with many cliffs and beaches, can serve as a natural case study for the impact of tourism, sustainable development and coastal erosion.

                  The gateway to Andalusia

                  Malaga may have a reputation as a sunny seaside resort on Spain’s Costa del Sol, but it offers a huge amount for school groups.

                  A school trip to Malaga strikes an ideal balance between an exciting experience for students and a strong educational visit for teachers.

                  The city serves as a gateway to Andalusian culture, history and language, where days can be spent in art galleries, ancient ruins, and lively markets. These experiences provide ample opportunity to immerse students and get them practising language skills in a stimulating and safe setting.

                  Plus, with our team taking care of everything, including flights, transport, accommodation, and activities, you can focus on getting the most from your trip – without the added stress. To learn more, get in touch today.

                  Why Choose Malaga For An Educational Tour?

                  Cross-curricular opportunities

                  Malaga is a great choice for groups studying Spanish. They will get a chance to practice their listening and speaking skills in real-world situations.

                  Whether it’s ordering churros in a cafe or browsing fresh produce in Atarazanas Market, they’ll build confidence by speaking to locals every day. Meanwhile, specialist language lessons can be organised to complement the experience.

                  And while Malaga is very popular with language groups, it’s not the only educational connection here.

                  Mass tourism drives the region’s economy,  drawing millions each year. You can explore this theme further, investigating both the benefits and challenges of this industry – ideal not only for geography groups, but business studies too.

                  History, art and culture

                  Beyond the classroom, Malaga offers a terrific introduction to Andalusian culture. From food to music, your students will learn more about the expression of regional identity and how it differs across Spain. 

                  Plus, with well over 2,800 years of history, Malaga is undoubtedly one of Europe’s oldest cities. Your students will be able to step inside a Roman theatre and wander through Moorish Alcazaba. They can climb up to the Gibralfaro Castle for its spectacular views.

                  The budding artists among your group may be interested to learn that Malaga is the birthplace of the artist Pablo Picasso. The museum named after him is one of the city’s best visits, and offers students an inspiring look at his development and influence.

                    A city of history, culture and discovery

                    Located on the banks of the River Rhine, Cologne is a city with a lively, young feel. Despite that, it’s one of Germany’s oldest cities, with roots stretching back thousands of years – all of which you’ll have the chance to learn more about on an educational tour.

                    The city boasts world-class museums, plenty of hands-on experiences and fascinating historical sites. And from December, Cologne’s famed Christmas Market brings visitors from all over Europe.

                    Cologne is a brilliant option for schools – especially if you’re looking for an affordable, easy-to-reach location that has cross-curricular learning opportunities.

                    Why Choose Cologne For An Educational Tour?

                    A cultural surprise in the Rhineland

                    When heading to Germany, most school groups focus on Berlin or Munich. That’s no surprise – they’re both great locations.

                    But don’t overlook Cologne. It’s a thousand years older than both of them, and it shows. Roman ruins and relics survive across the city to this day, while the amazing Romano-Germanic museum can transport your students back through the ages. Fascinating relics, glassware, mosaics, and everyday objects showcase life under Roman settlement.

                    And then there’s the cathedral – a UNESCO World Heritage Site that took over six centuries to finish. It towers over the city and is one of Europe’s greatest masterpieces of Gothic architecture.

                    Inspirational experiences

                    Our schools absolutely love the range of experiences available across the Rhineland, and Cologne is the ideal base to reach them all.

                    At Germany’s Aerospace Centre, students can take part in hands-on experiments covering everything from comets to microgravity. Bringing you back down to Earth, the Neanderthal Museum charts the evolution of humankind and will have students exploring our role in nature (not to mention, you’ll come face-to-face with one of the most famous bone fragments ever found).

                    For the artsy, Museum Ludwig holds a collection of 20th-century masterpieces,  showcasing the work of Warhol, Picasso and Liechtenstein.

                    Or if you just want to blow off some steam, there’s always Phantasialand. Sit back while your students wear themselves out on a host of high-octane rollercoasters, set across a variety of immersive “worlds”.
