Argentina School Trips

Finding a trip or study tour to compliment your coursework is not too difficult, but finding one that will deliver a great educational experience involves more of a leap of faith. As well as making sure that we only show you the UK school trip venues and overseas study tours that excel in what they do, we also allow EVCs and teachers to write personal reviews, from their own experience. After all, the marketing department of every visitor attraction is going to make their place sound fantastic, but a glowing report from a fellow school travel organiser who has already experienced your intended school trip is far more reassuring.
