If you are looking for something more specific, just ask. We will probably be able to help.

Here is an example of a 4 day trip to London we did with a group of Spanish students in April 2011. The accommodation and most of the meals were at a traditional private school in the countryside, just 1 hour from the centre of London by train.


  • Day 1 – Fly to the UK. Arrival and settle in to the accommodation. Dinner at the school.
  • Day 2 – Breakfast and dinner at the school. Full day excursion to Brighton (including a walking tour of the city, a traditional lunch of fish and chips, and free time).
