Why Choose Germany For An Educational Tour?
It has a storied history
Germany has been at the political and cultural heart of Europe for centuries.
From the Romans crossing the Rhine to the rise and fall of Prussia, from the World Wars to the Cold War, there’s so much for students to see, do, and learn about.
That said, on most of our history school tours to Germany, groups generally focus on the rise of the Nazis, the Holocaust and the Second World War. Your students will learn more about the barbarity of war and fascist ideologies in a range of engaging and thoughtful experiences.
It’s brilliant for STEM
If you want to ignite a passion for STEM subjects in your students, you need to show them real-world examples. And for that, Germany is the ideal destination.
In Frankfurt, the financial capital of Europe, students can peer behind the scenes of the German Stock Exchange and other major institutions. In Munich, they’ll look at the engineering might of the world’s most famous car manufacturers (like BMW). While at Mathematikum, they’ll learn more about maths through unique hands-on exhibits.
It offers easy language immersion
There’s nothing quite like an immersive, real-word scenario for practicing a language. Giving your German students the chance to test everything they’ve learnt in the classroom is so valuable. From Year 7’s learning how to respond to “Wie Geht’s?” to GCSE pupils preparing for exams, it can make a huge difference at any stage of learning.
Plus, Germans are polite, friendly and, generally, speak excellent English. If your students make a mistake, forgiving locals may even help explain where they went wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do your school trips to Germany cost?
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. Checkpoint Charlie) and paid (e.g. Berlin TV Tower) attractions.
What is the best time of year to visit Germany with a school group?
Germany is a great destination all-year round. The cities, in particular, are fine to visit in any season. Berlin is always busy, but peaks in the summer, so bear that in mind if you want to reduce the chance of huge crowds. In Winter, you could time your visit to coincide with the country’s famous Christmas Markets, but make sure to wrap up. Meanwhile, in Summer, the Black Forest is truly stunning and offers the chance to get outside.
What documents do students need to travel to Germany?
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 Germany, provided none of your students have visited the Schengen Area for more than 90 days in a 180 day period.
What transport options are available for visiting Germany?
It’s possible to reach parts of Northern Germany by coach, although expect longer journey times. It’s around 10-13 hours from London to Cologne, for example. For other parts of Germany, especially for cities like Berlin and Munich, flying is the best option due to the distance.
