Testimonials

Experience Education made planning our trip effortless. The students came back inspired and more confident than ever.

After working with Skibound for the past 15 years, I have full trust that they deliver an outstanding experience. In a world where we are bombarded by people offering you the next best thing, I will always stick with what I know to be the best thing when it comes to educational ski trips, and that’s SkiBound. Thank you and see you next year.

I would recommend Masterclass tours to any PE teacher looking to take their students on an action-packed, character-building sports tour. Valkenburg was a perfect base, with beautiful Dutch architecture and culture, surrounded by world-class sports facilities. The Masterclass team go above and beyond to help ensure that each and every student has an incredible time on tour.

Travelbound were absolutely fantastic, from the moment we first asked for a quote, even to now we are back. Nothing was too much trouble for them, any questions we had were answered quickly with explanation. We unfortunately had our flight home cancelled but Travelbound went above and beyond to make sure our staff and children were looked after and everything was put in place until we could safely return home. I will never look at using a different travel operator again!

Edwin Doran organised a fantastic U18 tour to the Netherlands for us – action-packed, with well-matched opponents, attending a pro match and chatting to GB players after, and fun non-hockey activities and excursions.

A unique experience that our students will never forget! Travelbound was instrumental to the success of our Normandy visit. The Chateau du Molay is such a lovely place!

I was really pushed out of my comfort zone, but the reassurance and energy of the World Challenge leader made me feel like anything was possible. Ian went out of his way to ensure we had a truly memorable experience, and I hope he enjoyed the time with us as much as we did with him. I’ve proved to myself that I can handle anything in any situation, and the World Challenge experience made that possible.

Good quality, efficient and varied trips put together professionally and tailored to our needs… Will be back for a 4th time!

We had a fantastic time and we are already considering South Africa to be a regular tour for us as a school. The way the tour was planned worked perfectly and meant the students had the right amount of playing time within their sport, and the right amount of time to do excursions and experience South Africa. Thanks to all at Edwin Doran for making it such an unforgettable experience.

Our ski trip to Les Deux Alpes was perfect. It was well planned and tailored to our students after the initial discussion of the trip. SkiBound were helpful before and during the trip at all times for any needs or issues that arose. Always a great service and zero bad experience.

We would highly recommend Masterclass as a sports tour organiser. Staff at all phases (planning, in resort and coaches) went above and beyond to make the trip a huge success. This allowed our students to create lifelong memories and enabled staff to build positive relationships that we will take into school.

Condover Hall is an exceptional venue for sporting activities and outdoor adventure. All staff are extremely helpful and interact very well with the children. The food is amazing and the accommodation comfortable.

We had the best week at Condover. We thank the entire team for their care and attention in making us feel welcome. I will be recommending to our parent company that all the schools in our group come here next year.

Our recent Year 7 residential at Condover Hall was fantastic. The staff were outstanding: they were engaging, supportive and brilliant at encouraging all pupils to take part in the activities. The food was excellent, and the whole process from start to finish was smooth, efficient and easy. Thank you for giving our new Year 7s such a positive start to their secondary school journey.

Our trip to Barbados was a fantastic experience, with our pupils enjoying competitive fixtures against local teams, incredible hospitality, great accommodation and a taste of the local culture that they will remember fondly for many years to come!

Croft Farm was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The trip was very well organised, with every detail thoughtfully planned. The children thoroughly enjoyed the wide range of activities, which were both fun and engaging. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly and made every effort to ensure the children felt safe and supported.

I always rave about Travelbound’s excellent customer service to colleagues when recommending tour providers. I don’t look elsewhere now as I know I’ll receive excellent service from Travelbound without fail every time. The professional yet personable approach is one of the things I love, plus I can just ping an idea over by email and before you know it, they’ve put together a trip with everything I asked for!

World Challenge is an excellent opportunity for students to safely push themselves away from what is comfortable. The experiences on offer are varied and exciting, allowing students to develop as people and build vital skills that will stay with them for life. An excellent trip, we will repeat.

World Challenge exceeded our expectations, seamlessly relocating our 27-person trip to a new country just two weeks before departure due to unforeseen political tensions. Their support before and during the trip was unparalleled.

Thank you Condover Hall for such a great experience for the children, it’s why we come back year on year!

The trip ran so smoothly, and the communication was prompt and helpful. Barcelona never disappoints with its fantastic weather, and the activities were well-balanced between cultural experiences and fun. Both the children and the teachers fell in love with the city.

Excellent weekend of netball and activities. Staff are great – super positive and helpful. The centre feels very safe and welcoming.

We have travelled with SkiBound for many years, skiing in the USA and Austria! We cannot fault them, they provide an excellent service from start to finish.

Edwin Doran are very well organised and supportive with any requests. Communication with agents throughout is of a very high standard and the support whilst away on tour is top class. Thank you to everyone involved – we will be touring again next year!

Masterclass Sports Tours is a fantastic group to deliver the best sports tours. The team ensure that everything from planning and delivering a sports tour is as easy and stress-free as possible. Staff at Masterclass are so approachable and go above and beyond to ensure that everyone, including staff and students alike, enjoys the tour.

At Kingsdown School, we have trusted Masterclass to organise our sports tours for over 10 years, and once again, they have exceeded our expectations with our recent trip to Spain. The entire experience was brilliantly organised, with a packed itinerary that offered unforgettable moments for both students and staff alike.

Travelbound made organising my recent A Level Art and Photography trip to Paris remarkably straightforward. Compared with other companies I’ve used, they were far more transparent, with all costs clearly communicated upfront. The speed at which they responded to any issues really helped keep my stress levels down, and even the small details (such as providing travel cards) made the trip significantly easier to manage. I would highly recommend Travelbound for their professionalism, clarity and excellent support throughout.

I would highly recommend Travelbound for your next school trip. With a high attention to detail and expert tour management staff, you will be in great hands. You can feel secure in the knowledge that your trip will be expertly planned and expectations exceeded. We have had a number of successful trips at affordable prices. Great company!

As a school, we have used SkiBound and stayed at Le Skilt repeatedly. We return because the ski school and hotel are faultless and always exceed our expectations. Thank you again!
