Find answers to frequently asked questions from schools, families, and adults planning a tour.
We will ask the school to advise us of any specific needs within your group, including any dietary, medical and mobility needs. We ask early in the booking process to ensure these needs are factored in at all stages of your child's trip. We understand that not all additional support needs are physical.
All travellers will require their own Passport and GHIC card. Any non UK, non-Irish travellers may require an ETA.
There are plans to introduce a new scheme, ETIAS, in the near future - if this is required we will let you know. You can find out more about each of these documents by clicking the links above
We'll provide a kit list for the tour, which varies depending on weather and time of year. You should bring a small overnight bag for travel, as all main luggage will be kept on the coach until you arrive at your accommodation. We would suggest including toiletries, essential medications, phone chargers, a change of clothes, and PJs if on the overnight ferry. Check out our Packing List.
There is no specific limit, however your child will need to carry all their belongings a short distance from the coach drop off point to your accommodation, so please bear this in mind
All coaches are fitted with seatbelts for safety, and a toilet for emergency use. There will be AV equipment that your guide will use during your trip. Not all coahes have USB charging ports.
Euros/£s. Meals on way to ferry and way back. Pre-loaded card
