EST PAGE HEADER ABOUT US

About Us

We are a leading educational tour operator and have been trusted by teachers and lecturers to organise educational tours and experiences since 1982 to destinations all around the world. We don’t just do Europe, despite our name!  

In addition, we specialise in curriculum focused, student conference events, held at Disneyland® Paris and New York. Our LIVE! conferences bring students together with high-calibre industry professionals to provide subject insight and inspiration that can’t be found in text books or the classroom.

We are passionate about broadening students’ horizons. Our exciting range of tours and LIVE! conference events allow young people to not only discover more about their subjects, but also the wider world and their own potential.

Book with Confidence

We have all the credentials you would expect from a leading educational Tour Operator. Our ABTA membership and ATOL licence guarantees financial security whilst our Learning Outside the Classroom accreditation proves we have your safety at the heart of everything we do.  

We Take it Personally

We recognise what a huge responsibility you take when organising a college or school residential trip whether it be in the UK, Europe or Worldwide and we aim to make it as easy and straight forward a process as possible.

While we are big enough to have all the necessary back-up you require as a teacher looking for financial security and safety credentials, we pride ourselves on being small enough to offer a personal, friendly and professional level of service that brings teachers back year after year.

 

You will have a Dedicated Tour Consultant AND Tour Planner who will be with you every step of the way as well as the use of these four innovative technologies; an Online Quote delivered to you via an easy-to-view web page, My Tour Manager travel organiser designed to save time with your school admin, the smart and secure EST Travel App to store all your travel paperwork and Locate My Trip, the convenient way for parents to follow your group activities whilst away.

 

 

 

We Share Our Knowledge and Experience with You

Fundamentally we are passionate about travel; who can forget their first school trip? The excitement and trepidation about being away from home, the funny stories that we still share, and the interests and passions sparked that later turned into a career.

 

Research shows that taking young people out of the classroom not only raises their aspirations and engagement with their subject, but also promotes confidence, resilience and independence.

Nothing pleases us more than hearing how one of our trips has inspired the next designer, scientist or politician!
