A pivotal place in history.

All but flattened during the Second World War, Dunkirk was completely rebuilt in the decades that followed.

Today, the town’s pivotal place in modern history is marked by several excellent museums. For example, La Coupole is a former rocket launching base that has been transformed into a history and science centre, while the Dunkirk War Museum charts the events of Operation Dynamo. There’s also a range of boutique shops, restaurants and other memorials and attractions.

Altogether, Dunkirk is a fantastic option for school groups. In particular, we highly recommend it for budget-conscious schools or those seeking a location within easy reach of the UK.

Why Choose Dunkirk For An Educational Tour?

Discover The Battle Of Dunkirk

Dunkirk’s monuments and museums, which cover WW2 in detail, offer a wealth of insight and knowledge for your students.

The Battle of Dunkirk and the ensuing Operation Dynamo, which saw the evacuation of 340,000 Allied soldiers to safety in England, are the main draws for history students. At the Dunkirk War Museum, they’ll learn all about the events surrounding this period. They’ll also visit the evacuation beaches and stand where Allied soldiers once stood, not knowing whether they would make it home as German infantry, tanks, and planes drew ever closer.

Make It Cross-Curricular

Dunkirk is a popular choice with schools due to its location. It’s only 40 minutes from Calais, making it incredibly easy to reach. But it’s also a great base for visiting other parts of Northern France and Belgium (the border is 14km to the East).

And that makes it a great option for cross-curricular trips. You could stick with the historical theme and visit the WW1 battlefields of Ypres, head to Lille for the Christmas Markets, or allow your students to practice their French.

Example Itinerary

There’s so much to see and do in Dunkirk, 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.

    Discover the power and story of a nation.

    If you’re willing to go a little further afield, a school trip to Washington, DC, will create a lifetime of memories for your students.

    They’ll always remember standing in the exact spot where presidents have been sworn in, setting eyes on the White House for the first time, or seeing the inner workings of the Capitol.

    Washington is great if you’re teaching global politics or American history. Everywhere you go, there are reminders of a nation that has defined and built itself from the ground up – from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to the artefacts inside the Smithsonian Museums.

    Visiting Washington is quite possibly a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many of your students. So, to make the most of your time away, get in touch with our team. Our travel advisers, many of whom have visited the city multiple times, can help you plan a fun-filled, but educational, itinerary.

    All you need to do is get in touch. We’ll handle the rest.

    Why Choose Washington For An Educational Tour?

    See democracy in action

    If you’re teaching politics and civil rights, there aren’t many destinations as valuable for your students as Washington. Your group will be familiar with the power and influence of the US, but for the first time, they’ll witness it up close.

    Enjoy packed itineraries

    Washington is full of great experiences for school groups. Arts and culture, history & heritage, monuments & memorials, parks & nature, shopping & entertainment – there is no shortage of attractions and activities to keep you occupied. The Smithsonian museums, for example, are among the best in the world – and most don’t cost a penny to enter.

    Experience a new culture

    Chances are, most of your students have never been to the US before. This is a great opportunity to broaden their horizons and support their development into independent young adults.

      A city that captures the imagination.

      The moment you step onto a New York street, it hits you. The scale, the noise, the pace. Everything feels bigger. Louder. Faster.

      That’s why it’s a brilliant destination for school groups. You’ll walk through Times Square. Take in the views from the Empire State Building. Explore the galleries of MoMA or the powerful exhibits at the 9/11 Memorial Museum.

      Our team have visited the city many times. It’s a big journey, and it requires lots of planning, but we’re here to make it simple. We know that whatever you teach, whether it’s history, media, art, business, or politics, New York delivers.

      But, more than anything, we know exactly how to make the most of a school trip to New York – what attractions to visit, where to stay, and how to get around. We also know where to get the best bagels in the city…

      Why Choose New York For An Educational Tour?

      Politics, power, and global influence

      New York isn’t the capital of the United States, but it’s still a major source of power and influence. That means it’s great for students interested in politics, economics, or business.

      At the United Nations HQ, your students will explore themes of global democracy and international cooperation. On Wall Street, home to the New York Stock Exchange, they’ll see how key financial decisions can ripple across the world.

      And don’t miss the Federal Reserve Bank’s gold vault tour. There’s something about seeing over 500,000 solid gold bars that makes monetary policy discussions a whole lot more interesting back in the classroom. Trust us.

      World-famous landmarks, all in one place

      New York is packed with iconic attractions. There are so many that creating an itinerary for your group to visit them all is a regular headache for our travel advisers (don’t worry, we’ll figure it out!).

      We’ll make sure you have time to look out from the top of the Empire State Building (where it’s quite chilly and windy, take a jacket), stand in front of the Statue of Liberty, and reflect at the 9/11 Memorial.

      Art students can take in the Guggenheim and The Met, while everyone will enjoy the energy of Times Square, the skyline from the Brooklyn Bridge, and the daily life of Central Park.

      A taste of a new culture

      New York is a great introduction to American life. The accents, the portions, the yellow cabs, the street food, the pace – everything feels slightly larger than life.

      Experiencing a new culture, especially one so different, is a great way of getting your students out of their comfort zones. It’ll boost their interest in the wider world and encourage independence.

      Example Itinerary

      There’s so much to see and do in New York, 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.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        New York is one of our more expensive options, given the considerable distance and cost of flights. It is, however, thoroughly worth the money. We’ll try our best to build a great trip for a reasonable budget, although the exact amount will depend on the length of your stay and time of year. Please contact us for a full quote. 

        School groups can visit New York at any time of year. Winter weather can be quite harsh, but as long as you pack appropriately, you’ll be fine. Plus, Christmas time in New York is a special experience. Spring, Summer and Autumn vary in temperature and tourist numbers, but each are excellent times to visit.

        You’ll fly from a major UK airport directly to New York. Once you arrive, school groups can use the city’s famous subway system to get around the city. This is often the most effective mode of transport when the roads are busy.

        A thriving capital city that blends heritage with modern attractions.

        The Spanish capital is perfect for language learners, history classes, music groups, art students, and more. Beyond that, it’s a fantastic cultural visit that will create more rounded, independent young adults.

        Our role is to create the perfect itinerary for your school trip to Madrid. There’s so much to see and do that figuring out the best use of your time can be tough. That’s where our experienced travel advisors come in.

        They’ve personally visited Madrid (many times!). They know what works for school groups, what doesn’t, and what will best fit your learning objectives.

        Why Choose Madrid For An Educational Tour?

        Culture & History Combine

        In this city of Velázquez and Goya, take your group on a visit to the remarkable Reina Sofia Museum or the Museo Nacional del Prado. Tour the newly renovated and mightily impressive Bernabéu Stadium (or catch a game, if you’re lucky). Stroll through tree-lined boulevards, lively plazas and Royal Palaces.

        Along the way, you’ll learn all about Madrid’s art, history, food, and culture. And you’ll discover its influence through Spain and the rest of Europe.

        Language Immersion

        Immersing yourself in a local culture is the best way to learn a language. So, if you’re a Spanish teacher, a school tour to Madrid is an incredible opportunity for your students to practice and gain confidence.

        They’ll have the chance to communicate with native speakers and take special classes. They’ll practice in real-life settings, like navigating the metro or ordering a drink. By the end of your trip, you’ll hopefully notice a marked improvement in all aspects of their speaking, listening, and reading skills.

          A city that captures the imagination.

          A school trip to Barcelona is one your students will remember for years down the line. Not just because of what they learned, but because of how it made them feel.

          The way the sun hits the Parc Güell’s beautiful tiles at golden hour. The sudden hush when you step inside the Sagrada Família. Laughter over shared tapas. New sights, sounds, and smells at La Boqueria Market.

          It all comes together for a very special experience.

          Our role is to create that experience for you and your students. Whether you’re interested in language, art, history, business, food technology, or something else – you tell us what you need, and we’ll take care of the rest.

          Why Choose Barcelona For An Educational Tour?

          Art, identity, and creative spirit

          Barcelona is bold, bright, and full of character. You students will find it everywhere they go.

          In Gaudí’s surreal architecture, where buildings twist and shimmer like something out of a dream. In the Picasso Museum, which traces the early development of one of the world’s most influential artists. And in the everyday culture of Catalonia, with its own language, history, and sense of identity.

          That identity is intertwined with the city’s sporting heritage, too, which your students can discover on a tour of Camp Nou.

          A trip to Barça’s stadium is something of a pilgrimage for football fans. The stadium is incredible, as is the experience of seeing Lionel Messi’s 8 Ballon d’Or trophies in the flesh. But it also serves as an important educational experience too – highlighting the business of sport and the pursuit of success.

          A city shaped by visitors

          Barcelona welcomes millions of tourists each year. That’s great for business – and a brilliant case study for students looking at the geography and economics of tourism.

          But it also raises big questions about sustainability, local impact, and how cities manage success. In the summer of 2024, locals protested about the effects of tourism on the cost of living. This is an important and sensitive debate, especially for a city where the tourism industry provides over 150,000 jobs.

          To take it further, your group could head down the Costa Brava. There, they’ll learn more about coastal erosion and the impact of rising sea levels, local ports, and dams on Spain’s famous beaches.

          There’s so much to see and do in Barcelona, 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.

            Frequently Asked Questions

            Overall, Barcelona is a reasonably priced destination for a school tour. Lost-cost flights are widely available from across the UK, so the major factor is your accommodation, how long you stay, and the activities you choose. This changes from group to group, so it’s tough to give an exact price without first discussing your requirements. Please get in touch for a full, transparent quote tailored to your school.

            Located on Spain’s southern coast, Barcelona has excellent weather all year-round. That said, it can be a little too hot for students in the summer, and this is also the peak season for tourists and prices. We recommend aiming for the shoulder seasons (Autumn and Spring) if you can. 

            You will fly to Barcelona from the UK. Once you arrive, there is an excellent public transport system, including an underground metrolink that covers almost every inch of the city. It’s easy to use, low-cost, and provides a brilliant learning opportunity (particularly for geographer’s interested in urban planning).

            Beautiful coastline and vibrant cities.

            School trips to Spain are always packed with moments you don’t forget.

            The first sight of Gaudí’s crazy, colourful buildings. Your students trying churros for the first time (with more chocolate than seems possible). The sounds of daily life echoing through a sunlit square. A history lesson brought to life in the Royal Palace.

            Spain has a way of pulling you in. It’s bold, it’s full of heart, and it leaves your students buzzing with stories to tell when they get home.

            You might head to Barcelona, Madrid, or somewhere off the beaten track. You might focus on language, geography, food, business, or art. Whatever you have in mind, our job is simple: to help you make it happen.

            Why Choose Spain For An Educational Tour?

            Inspiration around every corner

            Spain has played host to some of the world’s most extraordinary artists, architects and creators.

            Barcelona is a shining light. Sitting at the centre, Gaudí’s Sagrada Família is a cathedral like no other in the world. Inside and out, it’s a mind-blowing example of creative design. And if any of your students have a passion for STEM, don’t miss the museum, where you’ll find scale models visualising solutions to tricky engineering challenges.

            Meanwhile, Madrid’s stunning art galleries are filled with masterpieces. Picasso’s Guernica always gets art students talking, and there are countless works by Dalí, Goya and Velázquez to admire.

            A language learning experience

            There’s no better way to boost confidence in Spanish than total immersion.

            Ordering food, navigating cities, visiting museums, and chatting to locals. These are all opportunities to practice and test their skills.

            This helps them move beyond rehearsed classroom phrases and start to think and respond more naturally. It’s an experience that can really shift a student’s mindset and spark a love for the language that lasts long after the trip is over.

            Geography, culture & economy in action

            Spain offers so much for young geographers. There’s the impact of mass tourism, coastal erosion, and even climate change – with the country experiencing severe heatwaves, drought and flooding in recent years.

            At the same time, exploring the country’s traditions, industries, and distinct regional identities helps students understand how culture and economy shape Spanish society.

              Frequently Asked Questions

              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. Parc Güell) and paid (e.g. Sagrada Familia) attractions.

              We recommend visiting Spain in the Spring or Autumn. The weather is usually pleasant and warm, and it’s not too busy. In summer, the Spanish cities can be too hot for a full-day of activities, and the volume of tourists can make it harder to manage a group.

              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 Spain, provided none of your students have visited the Schengen Area for more than 90 days in a 180 day period.

              Most school groups fly to Barcelona or Madrid. A coach journey would take too long, although it is possible.

              Once you’ve arrived, we’ll arrange your transport options for each day. Both Barcelona and Madrid have metro systems, which is often the best option for getting around the cities.

              A city at the heart of global affairs.

              One of the great things about having Europe on our doorstep is the sheer choice of school trip destinations.

              With so many cities to pick from, places like Geneva can sometimes fly under the radar. But there’s so much here for young minds.

              Home to the Red Cross, the World Economic Forum (WEF), parts of the United Nations, and CERN, it’s a place of groundbreaking ideas and world-changing discoveries.

              Your students can take a look inside the world’s largest particle physics laboratory in the morning before debating international diplomacy in the afternoon. It’s a destination we can’t recommend highly enough for schools interested in STEM, economics, business, or politics.

              If you’re planning a school trip to Geneva, we’ll make sure it’s thought-provoking, memorable, and completely hassle-free. Contact our team today to start planning.

              Why Choose Geneva For An Educational Tour?

              World-leading science

              Geneva has tonnes for budding scientists – from Plasma Centres to Power Plants. But no visit is complete without a trip to CERN. Every day, the world’s leading physicists and engineers try to answer the biggest questions about our universe.

              Your group can take a guided tour of the facilities. You’ll learn about the work and achievements of CERN, including the cutting-edge experiments undertaken with the Large Hadron Collider.

              CERN is a brilliant experience for young minds. It not only supports their studies, but it also inspires future careers.

              Global diplomacy

              Geneva is home to more international organisations than almost anywhere else in the world.

              Your students can tour the United Nations, step inside the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum, and learn about the city’s role in humanitarian aid and peacekeeping.

              They’ll learn how global decisions are made and explore the challenges of cooperation between nations. It’s perfect for politics students.

              Glorious cheese & chocolate

              Yes, you read that right. Switzerland is known for many things, not least its delicious cheese and chocolate.

              Your class will have the opportunity to learn more while in Geneva. You’ll visit the Chocolatiere Rapp, where students will receive a presentation and lesson in the art of chocolate making. Of course, there’s a free tasting, too.

              In fact, Geneva is a great destination for food technology groups. The ever-popular Alimentarium Food Museum explores all aspects of food and nutrition, and is a truly unique experience.
