Trip Type: Educational

This depends on where you go and how long for. Plus, there’s the cost of different activities. We’ll keep it budget-friendly by organising a mix of activities tailored to your objectives. This will include both free (e.g. street art) and paid (e.g. the Anne-Frank Museum) attractions.

You can visit the Netherlands with your school group at any time of year. Winter is quieter, but can be quite cold (similar to the UK), whereas summer is warmer, but can be busy with tourists. The best compromise is often the shoulder seasons, especially for larger groups.

Students only need a valid passport, which must expire more than 3 months after your return date. There are no visa requirements for British citizens travelling to the Netherlands, provided none of your students have visited the Schengen Area for more than 90 days in a 180 day period.

One of the best parts about the Netherlands, and the reason it’s so popular with schools, is that it’s easily accessible. There are ferries directly to Amsterdam and other ports along the coast, or you can travel via the Dover-Calais ferry. Going by coach not only saves on costs, but it’s better for the environment and it means you’ll have transport for the entire time you’re away.

Plus, the Netherlands is compact. So it’s easy to base your group in Amsterdam but use the coach for day-trips to Zaanse Schans, Valkenburg, and the Hague.
