‘You provided us with an experience that we could not have recreated without your knowledge and expertise. Your planning and organisation was fantastic, tailoring the itinerary to everything that we wanted to see, making sure that we had enough time at each establishment.
It was fantastic that we had the flexibility to tailor the itinerary in Paris according to the weather and interests of our students on the day. It meant that regardless of a few moments of wet and windy conditions, we were able to enjoy all of our time away’

Ms Caroline Weaver Art Teacher, St Albans High School for Girls. Paris 2020.

‘At High Tunstall School we have organised MFL tours for several years through Varsity Travel. Our experience of working with them has been positive on every occasion.
From the moment we have started planning our tour, to the time we have returned, their meticulous planning and attention to detail has been second to none. The tour guides accompanying us have expert knowledge of the location and sites visited, allowing school staff to concentrate solely on the welfare of the students in their care during the tour.’

Mrs Louise Tempest Head of Faculty, High Tunstall School Hartlepool. Paris 2019
