Why choose WST for School Trips?

At WST the customer is at the heart of everything we do. A strong set of values runs right from the core of our business. We believe that this is what makes us stand out from the crowd.

10/10 service from start to finish. Could not have been on a better trip. The organisation of activities, travel, the meals/restaurants, the hotel were all superb. After covid and the nerves surrounding taking 40 pupils away I can honestly say WST has put together a fantastic service.
