What you say
Radio city tour was excellent! I will book this again. This was the first time we have been and the students loved it.
The Henley College
Radio City was fantastic, and really interesting for our production and art students as well. A brilliant tour service - you were recommended to me, and they were right. The service is fantastic.
The Downs School
The service we received was outstanding. The organisation and smooth running of the trip was exceptional... Taking 43 kids to NYC is no easy task but EST definitely helped to make the process smooth and ensured the students had the time of their life.
St Aidans CE High School
I have now used European study tours 4 times and I personally wouldn't use anyone else...excellent service!
Darlington College
Thank you for your professionalism, flexibility, time and support which made the trip such a success!
Cathedral Academy
Really positive and helpful all the way through the booking and planning process - always on hand and really personable.
