The children can’t stop talking about the brilliant fun they had!

Heather Loughlin, Ashford School

This tour was very well organised, the pricing was right, the travel times to and from Germany were good. The children had a wonderful time and some have said that they would like to go back with their parents. I would definitely recommend Rayburn Tours as a school tour organiser. It could not have gone any smoother.

What are the best prep tips for a German language school trip to Berlin?

Preparing well makes all the difference on a German language school trip to Berlin. First, brush up on basic German phrases and daily vocabulary so students feel comfortable communicating with locals. Second, learn some Berlin history and culture to deepen the educational value of the trip. Third, organise paperwork (which we assist with) – passports, permissions, insurance etc. – well in advance. Finally, pack smart: adapt clothing for Berlin’s weather, bring comfortable walking shoes, and include a small German-dictionary or app. These steps help ensure your German language school trip is smooth, educational, and fun.

How much does a German language trip usually cost, and what factors influence pricing?

The cost of a German language trip can vary widely depending on duration, accommodation level, travel dates, group size, and included activities. For example, a week-long German language trip might include flights, hotel, meals, a programme of excursions and classes; prices go up if staying in central Berlin versus outskirts, or if you include extra cultural experiences. If you’re organising German language school trips, budgeting for museum fees, public transport passes, and optional tours can add up. Also, off-peak travel or booking in advance often reduces costs. Always ask providers for itemised quotes so you know what “all-inclusive” covers.
