A truly moving place to visit.

From the remains of the Somme battlefields to those of Verdun and beyond, the World War One Battlefields in France tell of the terrible cost of War.

No trip to Belgium is more memorable or poignant than a visit to the World War 1 Battlefields in Ypres, where students experience the living conditions in the trenches and the destructive power of war. As one of the most visited parts of the Western Front, where 250,000 soldiers died during the Great War in the defence of Ypres, battlefield sites include Hill 62 Sanctuary Wood Trench Museum and Bayernwald Croonaert Wood Trenches.

They shall grow not old.

A trip to Flanders Fields, where a million soldiers were wounded, missing or killed in action, reinforces the destruction and impact of war. There are hundreds of monuments and cemeteries, which have great historical significance for peoples of many nations. Visits include the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing that contains the names of over 50,000 officers and men.

From the remains of the Somme battlefields to those of Verdun and beyond, the World War One Battlefields in France tell of the terrible cost of War.

Today, visitors to the WWI Battlefields in France will experience re-creations in museums, explore the surviving trench works and visit the memorials and cemeteries of those who died.

A school trip to the USA is an unforgettable adventure.

Most students have never left Europe. And while they’ll be familiar with American culture from TV, film and music, the reality is more than they could ever imagine.

This is a country of big dreams and bold ideas. Moments that have shaken history and shaped the modern world. Whether they’re walking up the steps of the Lincoln Memorial or looking out from the top of the Empire State Building, this is an experience that will stay with them for years.

But, for teachers, the thought of booking and organising such a big trip can be overwhelming. That’s why we’re here.

Our tour advisers, who have real, genuine experience of visiting the US, will guide you through every stage – from planning a suitable itinerary to supporting you while you’re away.

Why Choose The USA For An Educational Tour?

See history and politics up close

The USA’s story is one of revolution, change, and ambition.

For students studying history or politics, there’s no better place to understand how the ideas that shaped a nation continue to evolve today. We can organise visits that help support this learning experience, from the stories of immigrants at Ellis Island to the fight for Civil Rights.

Witness American ambition and innovation

Take a look at cutting-edge science at New York’s American Museum of Natural History. Witness the world’s financial centrepiece, Wall Street, in action. Visit world-leading universities and tech hubs where the next generation of ideas is already taking shape.

For your students, this is a chance to see how curiosity, research, and ambition have changed the world – and continue to do so.

Enjoy the culture

Music, art, film, and food. The USA’s cultural influence is everywhere. Students can soak up the buzz of Times Square, see world-famous art at The Met, or walk through the monuments and museums of Washington, D.C. They’ll hear new stories, try new flavours, and see the world through a wider lens.

And yes, they’ll probably grab a New York hot dog along the way.

    Our school trips to the USA are a bit more expensive than other destinations due to the distance involved. Prices depend on where you go and how long for. If you have a certain budget in mind, we can try and plan a trip to match.

    You can visit the USA at any time of year, but there are some considerations in regards to weather and tourist numbers – depending on where you visit. We generally recommend the shoulder seasons for school groups.

We’ll advise on all requirements and documentation required.

    Europe’s most enchanting city.

    Paris is the most popular European destination for our schools.

    Not only is it quick and easy to access, either by coach or air, but you can pack a huge amount into just a few days. Climb the steps of Montmartre. Witness the works of Monet, Picasso, and da Vinci. Practice French in a boulangerie. Study the world-famous fashion houses. Embrace the history of Versailles, or just blow off some steam at Disneyland.

    Such is the variety of attractions and experiences that the French capital always feels fresh and exciting. And that’s great for schools – with many of the teachers we work with organising a school trip to Paris every year.

    Whatever your focus, there are plenty of opportunities to create memories and support learning. And we’re here to help you bring it all together. When you’re ready, speak to one of our advisers.

    Why Choose Paris For An Educational Tour?

    World-Changing History

    Paris is a brilliant destination for groups studying the history of Europe. The city sat at the centre of the French Revolution and ensuing Napoleonic Wars, before suffering the terror of Nazi occupation until its liberation in August 1944.

    As they explore the city, students will learn about these events and how they changed the world. Stretching further back in time, they’ll find remnants of medieval Paris along the cobbled lanes of the Latin Quarter and in the beautifully restored Notre-Dame Cathedral.

    World-Class Art

    Paris has more art than you could see in a lifetime, but your students will love trying.

    The works of the Louvre are known across the world – from the subtle smile of the Mona Lisa to masterpiece sculptures like the Venus de Milo. But we find school groups enjoy visits to the Musée de l’Orangerie and Musée d’Orsay just as much. After all, seeing Monet’s water lilies or Van Gogh’s distinct style in person is a rite of passage for budding artists.

    Real-World French Lessons

    You can spend hours in the classroom covering vocabulary, sentence structures, and grammar rules. Why not put it all into practice?

    For students, seeing that they can turn everything they’ve learnt into a real-life conversation is a rush. It sounds so simple, but even ordering a pain au chocolat in a local bakery, chatting with market stallholders, or simply navigating the metro immediately boosts confidence and creates a love of French.

    Example Itinerary

    There’s so much to see and do in Paris, so here’s a sample itinerary we’ve put together to give you a few ideas. Please note that this is only an example of a tour that we could organise, everything can be adapted to fit your needs.

      The cost of a school trip to Paris will depend on the number of children, your accommodation, length of stay, and the planned activities. Please give us a call and we’ll provide a full quote for your group.

      Paris is a lovely city to visit at all times of the year. It is busier and more expensive in the summer months, so you may want to bear that in mind if you wish to avoid the crowds and keep costs down.

      The vast majority of our school groups choose to visit Paris by coach. The ferry across the English Channel is an easy route that will get you to Paris in a relatively short amount of time. Plus, that means you have a coach on hand for day trips – Versailles, for example, is over an hour from the city centre. If you wish, it is possible to fly, although it will be more expensive.
