About us

Tailor-made tours
Our extensive experience in school travel has taught us that no two schools or groups are the same. This is why we offer entirely tailor-made high quality tours in well-chosen locations throughout Europe specifically designed to meet each group’s individual needs. We will design your tour to be exactly what you want it to be and offer expert advice when you need it. We are also offering high quality language, drama, music, dance, and food study courses.

Bringing the classroom to life
Our trips help teachers to energise their curriculum, get to know their students better, and feel proud of providing their most exciting learning experience yet. Encounters Europe’s educational travel brings the classroom to life and enables pupils to interact with the history and culture they have learned in the classroom. The trips are an important part of students’ educational and personal development and, in most cases, form part of the subject curriculum.

Excellent value
Our pricing is totally transparent and we are committed to reducing supplements and small price add-ons whenever we can. We have absolutely no hidden supplements. Always bear this in mind if comparing prices.
Personal service Our highly-trained, multilingual tour organisers are dedicated to providing the highest possible standard of personal service; always on hand to guide you every step of the way. You will have your own dedicated personal tour organiser from the very first phone call to the very last detail of your arrangements. Your needs and requirements are always your tour organiser’s first priority.

Party Leader support
