Group travel gives young people opportunities to grow in confidence, deepen learning, and experience the world in ways that shape who they become.
- Why are group tours important for young people?
For many young people, a school/group tour becomes one of the defining experiences of their education. Beyond the destination itself, travel challenges students to grow in confidence, independence, and understanding of the world around them. At Tour Time, we believe the most meaningful journeys are built around moments that matter – experiences that shape character, deepen learning, and stay with students long after they return home. - Travel builds confident, capable young people
School and club travel takes young people beyond the classroom, sports field or local theatre and into real-world learning and experiences. Whether navigating a new culture, performing or competing on an international stage, or engaging with global ideas firsthand, students develop resilience, adaptability, and confidence. These experiences encourage young people to step outside their comfort zones, take responsibility, and return home with a stronger sense of who they are and what they are capable of achieving. - Learning through shared experience
One of the greatest strengths of group travel is that it is shared. Students experience new places and challenges together, strengthening friendships and building connections that often last well into their future. Shared experiences also deepen learning. Reflection, discussion, and collective achievement allow students to process what they have seen and experienced in ways that simply aren’t possible when travelling alone. - Purposeful travel thoughtfully designed
Every Tour Time itinerary is designed with purpose. We work alongside schools and clubs to ensure travel aligns with educational goals, student interests, and school values. That might mean cultural immersion, performance opportunities, service learning, sport, or exposure to innovation and industry. Our aim is always the same: to create experiences that are meaningful, engaging, and appropriate for the age and stage of the students travelling. - Safety, certainty, and support
We understand that entrusting young people to international travel requires confidence. Student wellbeing and safety sit at the centre of everything we do. Our comprehensive health and safety systems, carefully selected partners, and experienced Tour Managers ensure students are supported throughout the journey.

We believe students should do more than simply visit places – they should experience them. That’s why our groups engage directly with world-leading organisations, perform in iconic venues, and participate in experiences that would not otherwise be accessible. Because what students remember most are not the photos they take, but the moments that challenge, inspire, and change them.

..“The trip was incredible. As our students said it was a ‘trip of a lifetime’ for them. All the activities were well planned and well thought out. Our tour manager was an excellent tour guide, and she went above and beyond when looking after us all. I can’t stress that enough – she was amazing. The students definitely got a lot out of this experience, both educationally, but also personally as well.”
