What Other Schools Thought of Their Trip

An excellent experience from start to finish. Having travelled with Interski for many years, I was excited to see that they are now offering Summer trips for schools too. We chose them to arrange our recent Y8 and 9 trip to Stratford. From booking to the organisation of the trip itself, Interschool Travel delivered the very best service. I have come to expect the very best when skiing and now know that I can get the same excellence when organising educational trips in the UK and overseas. I will certainly be booking with them again.

We visited Paris for 3 nights with Interschool Travel in October '24. From the initial conversations regarding my vision for this trip, to the trip itself, every aspect has been faultless with impeccable organisation and communication. The staff were able to enjoy the trip hassle free as everything was arranged/organised/planned etc by our trip co-ordinator...it's the first school residential I've come home from without feeling utterly wiped out! We will definitely be working with Interschool Travel again and feel assured that we'll have another amazing trip when we do so! Thanks Interschool Travel, you're 10/10!
