Tailor-made School Trips
Welcome to the Encounters Europe home page. You are presumably thinking about organising a school trip and we'd be delighted to help you.
In keeping with our 'tailor-made school trip' philosophy you will find ideas and suggestions for you to consider - including, for the first time, specific information on many of the museums, galleries and other places that our groups like to visit.
So browse to your heart's content and then call us on 0121 504 2030 or complete the 'Request A Quotation' form.
We'll happily help you plan and organise the trip that suits you and your school or group - from the choice of transport, the type of accommodation, to places you visit.
Let us help
However, if you'd prefer an easier life, we'll be happy to suggest a complete itinerary for you!
For those of you who don't know us, Encounters Europe is a well respected provider of school trips and educational tours, and has been helping schools and youth groups organise their trips for over 20 years.
We are founded on a passionate belief that travel changes lives. Our school trips/educational tours are designed to create opportunities to explore different countries and cultures and uncover skills and traits that can sometimes remain hidden in the classroom.
And remember, just because you can't see see the destination you're looking for, it doesn't mean we can't help you. Just give us a call and we'll do what we can do to help you. That's what we do.
Thanks for visiting - The Encounters Europe Team.
