A Geography Study Tour is a fantastic opportunity for your pupils to gain a level of understanding about Geography that no amount of textbooks or classroom teaching can ever equal. Designed to complement the National Curriculum and suitable for studies up to AS / A2 and Advanced Higher levels.
All our Geography Tours are researched and designed by Ian Hardie, an ex-geography teacher. He ensures that each destination is packed full of useful study topics that will appeal to your students.

Iceland
Rapidly becoming one of Europe's hottest destinations, Iceland is overflowing with natural features, which include glaciers, hot springs, geysirs, active volcanoes, portentous peaks and vast lava deserts.

Italy
The fascination of Italy is that the over-the-knee boot country treasures come packaged in mountains, lakes, islands, cities and villages.

Sheldon School
Netherlands
Almost twenty percent of the total area of the Netherlands is water, which gives visitors the opportunity to explore the country via canal routes. In the summer the fields bloom with flowers making it look like a sea of colour. Popularly known for its windmills, clogs, dikes, tulips and bicycles, Netherlands proves to be a country full of salutary surprises.
'Every time we got to the Netherlands it is voted by the students as the best school trip ever'
The Priory School
Spain
Spain is one of the most diverse and visually stunning nations of Europe. Narrow winding old streets open out to views of daring modern architecture, fascinating sights, beautiful landscapes, and charming towns.
'Having taken school groups with other tour operators in the past, I am certain that Rayburn Tours sets the standard'
Queen Elizabeth's School for Boys
Switzerland
Forests, lakes, rich vineyards, lush valleys, dramatic mountain peaks and awesome glaciers. Switzerland has them all, with some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe, whatever the time of year. From Geneva in the west to Constance in the east, this small and beautiful country has a wealth of activities and attractions all year round for visitors of all ages and interests.
'An excellent balance between geographical study and fun/outdoor pursuits that pupils thoroughly enjoyed as well as gaining knowledge.'
