School trip feedback by destination
China
Mr Tomkins, China Tour
I am writing to say a big thank you for all your support, time and effort that you contributed to an extremely successful tour of China. The students and staff had an incredible experience that we will remember for a very long time. I cannot imagine the amount of work required to make it the success it was, but thank you! Please pass on our thanks to Alicia and Clair who worked closely with myself and other party leaders over the past 18months.
Ms Jennifer Simms, China Tour
"The school's first trip to China with 44 students and staff was a complete success, with children asking when I was organising the next trip even before we had landed at Heathrow! Travelbound helped us to develop an individualised itinerary, enabling us to spend more time at our partner school in Nanjing, and ensured that the trip was an amazing experience for students and staff alike."
Czech Republic
Mrs Gent, Prague, Czech Republic
"Well organised - aware of the needs of a school visit."
Educational travel - Czech Republic
France
Mr Mathew Lowe, Megeve, France
"An excellent trip which was well put together."
Dr Eleanor, Paris, France
"The tour I proposed was tailor-made to meet my requirements in Paris and Alice/Travelbound made a helpful suggestion for an evening activity. When we were delayed on our way to Paris, she was a star - phoning the hotel and restaurant and seeing that we would be fed on arrival."
Mr Sean Condon, Chateau du Molay, Normandy, France
"New Chateau managers - FANTASTIC!!! Excellent teamwork and commitment: real long-term vision obvious. Noticed a massive difference. Real dynamism and plans for development."
Mr Derek Scott, The French Alps, France
"We received speedy and accurate communications. Travelbound treated my queries with courtesy. Not as if I were a nuisance! They made me feel as if the school and Travelbound were a team."
Susan Watson, Disneyland Paris, France
I am just writing to thank you very much with all your help prior to us leaving. Every part of the trip experience was fantastic and hassle free due to your organisation and help. We had a wonderful time and I cant believe we're now looking forward to next year already!
Geraldine Bouttier, Paris, France
"We had a great tour, excellent contact with staff and the hotel and restaurant staff were great and very helpful!"
Greece
Mr Martin, Athens, Greece
"Travelbound are a very good organisation with excellent customer service. They are also flexible and this is valued."
Italy
Mr Ian Smith, Sorrento, Italy
"I must admit that Travelbound have this market nailed as far as I'm concerned...you do a very good job and every time I use you guys I feel that you really understand our job and how difficult the organisation of these trips can be in light of the demands of teaching."
Mr Bob Stone, Bay of Naples, Italy
"The organisation went without a hitch. 
One or two things were different from original plans but Travelbound made the changes superbly. The hotel was very good and were excellent at catering for all our allergies. One big advantage this year was that all other school parties there were English speaking: making it easier to deal with any inter-group problems."
Amy, LoTC representative, Sicily IV, Italy
I really wanted to say thank you so much for all your hard work over the whole Sicily visit. I'm amazed you managed to remain so calm and professional whilst everyone was on the verge of melt down. You all made the trip home (and the visit) thoroughly enjoyable. I have learnt so much and really appreciated the opportunity to join the group. Make sure your bosses know what an asset you are to Travelbound and thank all those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes too!
Sally Longford, Sorrento, Naples, Italy
"It's just a fantastic area to study volcanoes and impacts of eruptions - students can't help but learn! Sorrento is a safe and pleasant resort, which my 17/18 year olds enjoyed and wanted to stay longer."
Mr Martin Taylor, Venice, Italy
"Travelbound provided the best experience during the booking process during the 20 years that I have been taking school trips abroad. I have used several companies but will now always seek to use your company in the first instance."
Iceland & Morocco
Mr C Evans, Iceland & Morocco
"Compared to the other tour companies I tried to deal with, you have been by far the most competitive, flexible and most professional. I really appreciate your help in helping to get this trip to happen, as I really feared that I would have to cancel after the failure of other companies to get Iceland and Morocco up and running for the agreed prices. All the best and I am sure I will be in touch next year to arrange the 2011 trip."
Russia
Mrs Astrid Ivkin, St Petersburg, Russia
"Very successful with a good variety of trips and visits. Our guide (local agent) was exceptional, not just in her local knowledge, but in the way she related to our students."
UK
Lesley-Ann White, Portsmouth, South of England
We had an amazing day! Students are buzzing and I've already been asked by a group of students if I will organise another trip! It was certainly a life changing experience for some of our students - many will never get to have an experience such as that again. I certainly hope we will be able to do similar sometime in the future.
Mr. Rowland, Edinburgh, Scotland
Thank you for organising an awesome trip to Edinburgh. The trip was a success from beginning to end. The hostel was the best hostel I have ever stayed at with friendly staff and brilliant facilities. I will be organising the same trip again next year and will definitely be using Travelbound.
USA
Cara, NYC & San Francisco, USA
Thank you so much for all your help with the New York and San Francisco trips. It was a pleasure to work with you both and I look forward to working with you again next year.
Portsmouth University lecturer, USA
The group returned safely yesterday, ahead of schedule. I'd like to thank you for your efforts in making this an extremely successful trip. All your arrangements worked very smoothly and it was a pleasure to work with you. Your attention to our plight when our flight was cancelled turned a potentially fraught situation around. It was much appreciated that you kept us informed during this period. Thanks again.
Ms. Hicky, USA
Thank you so much for all your hard work over the past few months with all our fieldtrips. It has been a real pleasure working with you and the trips on the whole have all been very successful (though I am very glad they are over for another year!). I shall really miss our chats on the phone and rest assured Travelbound will be top of our list for quotations for next years trips.
Miss Watson, New York, USA
We have run this trip before, but with a different tour company and I have to say, we never realized how good and organized this trip could be!!! It was fantastic in every way! It was well organized before we went, with constant contact from the tour company and all my suggestions taken on board. When in New York everything was ready, organized and ran perfectly smoothly. A big thank you for helping me with a huge responsibility and giving me an amazing trip too!
