Having tailor-made a variety of different European programmes for schools over the years, we thought that you might like to hear what some of our groups had to say about heir school trips. Here are just a few photos and extracts of comments sent in by some of our schools about recent trips they have taken over the past year.

"Thank you for another very successful trip to Spain. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for most of the children to see such original pieces of art and to experience this at first hand. The Gaudi buildings were absolutely fascinating, and the Salvadore Dalí Museum, always a firm favourite, was as stunning as ever. Everyone loved the contemporary works at the Joan Miro Musuem and the Picasso collection, and the FC Barcelona Nou Camp stadium visit went down very well!"

"The business visits were very good, although the Stock Exchange and Czech Radio were not as interesting as the other visits. The hotel and food could not be faulted and the location of the hotel was perfect. The group had a very worthwhile and enjoyable trip, and Prague is a lovely city to visit."

"The trip to Brussels was a roaring success. Everything ran very smoothly, and all the visits were excellent, thanks to your meticulous planning. I have been asking the students about their reflections on the visit, the overwhelming comment is about having enjoyed it. I have fond memories of the visit. It was so beneficial, for the students themselves, for the teachers and students getting to know each other and for drumming up interest in business studies."

"A fabulous trip for all concerned! All went very well and smoothly. Our pupils loved all the variety and different types of experiences. They were so interested and appreciative in everything that they saw, which was largely due to the balanced and full choice of visits included in the itinerary."

"Everything went really well on this trip. You managed to split the language and sports groups very well, with each group doing their own activities on one part of the programme, and then joining up for the combined visits. The visit to the Stock Exchange was very interesting and informative, and the visit to La Figaro was excellent.
The boys’ & girls’ football matches with the French clubs were very well organised and enjoyed by the whole group."

"The 2006 Spain trip for us was the most successful we've ever done! Everything ran so smoothly and all the staff and students really didn't want to come back to school! Every activity was brilliant, with the sun shining and everyone practicing their Spanish. We even got our coach drivers up and dancing at the disco! Destinations Study Tours were fantastic and really made the trip unforgettable. Our only complaint was that we had to come home!!!!"

"I have to thank you for how smoothly the trip went. The activity leader's pack was complete and genuinely useful and the two drivers were superb, keeping a low-key approach and conducting the proceedings with quiet professionalism. Everybody on the trip was impressed with how well the itinerary worked this year, and although this was due in some measure to what we have learned from several years of trial and error, it was also due to your efficient organization and the sheer professionalism of your drivers."

"The travel arrangements, hotel, meals and visits were all excellent. It was very interesting for the students to see how companies in the diverse industry sectors operate, especially when looking at their working practices and comparing these with the same industries in other countries that we have visited. Also, having the guides made everything so much easier for us. The visit to Real Madrid FC was a bonus, as was the extra shopping time that we managed to fit in!"
