Barcelona was one of our original destinations and continues to be popular for educational tours whether it is for Business Studies, Language, History, Food Technology or a cross curricular tour that is just fun.
Over the years we have helped numerous schools find bespoke tours across Europe.
As ever, the itineraries listed are offered as a guide or to be adopted in full. They are designed to include time for language sessions, as preferred. We will create a tour that is as individual to us as it is to you. If there is another city or destination that interests you but is not listed, please contact us for more information and a tailor-made quote.
