Our fully inclusive tour of China will be the experience of a lifetime for many pupils. The diverse mix of historical landmarks, incredible scenery and interactive Chinese experiences reveal the rich and long history of one of the oldest civilisations in the world that’s now re-inventing itself for the 21st century. As many aspects of Chinese life are so different from that in the UK and Ireland, a tour here will help to give pupils an appreciation of different cultures and lifestyles.
Tour Escort & Local Guides Your group will be accompanied by an English-speaking Tour Escort throughout your tour, with additional local guides in each location. You will be provided with useful information at each site and assisted with entry into attractions and all your meals.

Home to the US Government, many of the nation’s monuments and museums, historic landmarks and memorials to great US presidents of the past, the city’s skyline might be low profile but its attractions certainly aren’t.
Twin centre tour – Washington DC & New York Many groups enhance their stay by visiting both Washington DC and New York in one trip for the ultimate educational experience. Pupils can compare and contrast these famous American cities in one visit. Philadelphia, Gettysburg and Williamsburg can also be viewed en route from New York to Washington, or the latter two as day visits from Washington.
