Absolute Travel and Tours


Absolute Travel and Tours - sport, ski & study specialists since 1992

Description

With a wealth of specialist experience, our friendly team has been helping school groups to enjoy the very best sports tours, ski trips, educational trips and special interest tours at outstanding value for money, for over 30 years. A family owned, independent company, our collective goal is to make the whole process of organising and running a trip as carefree as possible and our team is always on hand to help. It’s about valuing relationships and exceeding expectations. We’re proud that so many of our school group customers come from repeaters and referrals and thrilled when new groups choose to travel with us based on price sensitivity or personal service. What’s more, schools can benefit from multi-trip discounts and additional benefits when they book more than one trip in a year, whatever the discipline or destination. But above all, we share your passion for sport, ski, education and travel which means a better, safer, more rewarding experience for you and your students. For your total peace of mind, we’re members of ABTA, School Travel Forum Assured and LOTC Quality Badge holders. And while our experience and longevity mean your tour will always be in the safest possible hands, you have the assurance that all the monies you pay to us are fully protected via ABTA (for coach tours), or ATOL (for flight tour packages).

Educational travel; we are specialists in New York city study trips offering subject specific workshops, visits, tours, and tickets for Broadway shows and sports matches. Other top destinations include Berlin, Barcelona, Paris, Rome & CERN trips to Geneva.

Sports tours; our school multi-sports festivals in Holland and Spain are hugely popular, featuring professional coaching, competitive matches and more. We organmise bespoke sports tours to France, Germany, Portugal, Italy, Malta, Argentina, South Africa, Barbados, USA, and Dubai as well as training camps and tournaments here in the UK and abroad.

Ski trips; the fabulous Salzburgerland in Austria remains a mecca for school ski trips and still represents outstanding value for money. School ski trips to Italy, Andorra, Spain, France and the USA allow you to choose a resort and accommodation to suit the budget and asirations of your group.

Performing Arts; school dance trips and music tours allow students to perform in exciting destinations overseas including sports stadia, theme parks, iconic venues and festivals. Dance, musical theatre and acting workshops can be arranged as well as tickets to plays, shows and events.
