Summer Sum Up – Education

Last updated: Mar 28th, 2024


Looking back on our Educational Tours this summer, our groups have had some fantastic worldwide trips, exploring the breath-taking views of Iceland, Switzerland and stretching across to South West USA.

“Incredible variety of unbelievable experiences for the pupils (and staff!)”

Queen Mary’s Grammar School


First up Geography…

One of our exciting Geography trips comes in the form of a two centre tour to Sorrento & Sicily – combining Mediterranean sun with geographical landscapes. What better option what you just can’t decide on one destination?!

The tour package was excellent and allowed students to experience Geography in the field first hand”. “Many of our school trips are now run with Rayburn and we are delighted with their service.”

Bedford Modern School

“Fantastic well organised trip with good value for money…Going up to Mount Etna was definitely the best moment for everyone and having a swimming pool at the hotel at the end of that day was the cherry on top.”

The Henley College


For History…

When we’re talking about history trips for summer 2018, our group’s choice of destination has spanned from China through to Berlin – with 100% feeling that their tour objectives have been met and would travel again!

“Fantastic experience that and pupils and staff will remember for a very long time.”

Calderglen High School

“An amazing trip that gave the students and amazing range of experiences of today’s China.”

Al Yasmina Academy

Bentley Wood High School for Girls had the excitement of travelling to Berlin, after visiting the city which has history seeping from its buildings and streets at every turn, here’s what they had to say…

“We had a brilliant time, very jam-packed, educational and fun. They pinned their best moment as the guided tour of German resistance memorial centre”.


And for language trips…

“It was one of the best trips we have ever had at school.”

Beal High School

Whilst Spain, Germany and France have been popular this summer, the summer highlight comes from groups in Montpellier, as they enjoyed the southern French sunshine whilst getting to grips with the local dialect! 100% of groups feel their tour objectives were met, would tour again and would recommend Rayburn Tours!

The Hazeley Academy point to “either tour of Montpellier or time in Carcassonne” as their best moment on tour!
