Our Tour Planning Resources

All educational tours come with a huge amount of excitement but also some trepidation too. What needs to be taken? Who do I contact in case of an emergency back at home? What will it be like when I get there? Where am I actually staying? What is there to do?

We have been operating school tours for over 35 years so we know a thing or two about planning a school trip. One of the benefits of this is that we have an abundance of knowledge and supporting documents we'd like to share with you. In our tour planning and tools area you will find everything you need for your school trip planning. This includes ideas on what to take on a school trip, packing checklists, insurance documents and school trip letter templates and more.
