About us

What ReadTrips does

How it works

How a trip comes together

Four steps, from agreeing the learning objectives to bringing what students learned back into class.

  1. Step 1

    Design

    Choose your subject and agree the objectives with your teachers. We align the trip with your curriculum.

    You receive: a trip outline and indicative costs.

  2. Step 2

    Confirm

    We secure the sessions and visits, finalise the itinerary, and support visas and logistics. School and parent approvals are collected.

    You receive: a confirmed trip, booked under our Terms & Conditions.

  3. Step 3

    Prepare

    Students get a learning brief and meet their guide. Parents get a briefing. Emergency plans are in place before departure.

    You receive: everything families need before students leave.

  4. Step 4

    Learn and follow up

    Guides are available 24 hours a day during the trip, and students bring what they learned back into class.

What students, teachers and parents say

  • The itinerary was really well-planned with a mix of learning and exploring unique spaces. Amazing value for money, too!

  • The trip to Europe was fascinating as much as it was inspirational. It sparked an inner sense of curiosity and excitement.

  • I have been grateful to experience two trips with ReadTrips and they have pushed us to explore the world further: to study abroad, to be leaders and to innovate for a sustainable future.
