  • Be with your group for the whole day
  • Liaise at all the attractions where you have reservations
  • Handle navigation - both on foot and public transport 
  • Assist in purchasing tickets for any additional visits
  • Provide emergency support if needed
  • Be there to provide extra support in the case of an emergency
  • Assist with any translation needed - and help students get a little extra language practice

There are great benefits to choosing a tour manager when you are in Italy.

  • You'll have peace of mind that the day-to-day running of the trip will run smoothly

We take great pride in ensuring our customers’ satisfaction by going above and beyond to meet their travel needs. But don’t just take out word for it…

We have just got back from the best 3 days in Barcelona and I just wanted to email you to say thank you! The students had such an amazing experience and got so much out of it. I was also so impressed with the support I had when one of our students needed medical care and I had to contact the emergency number. Both members of staff I spoke to were really helpful and really calming in a stressful situation. Again, they were really thorough and I also had a follow up message this morning. Please pass on my thanks for them both, I don’t know what I would have done without them.

There were other schools staying at the hostel who had booked with other providers and were not overly happy. I told them about WST and about how excellent your service is and told them to consider you for their next trip. I will definitely be looking to book Barcelona with you again for next year. Once again, a huge thank you from me.
