Useful to have a local company who can pop into school if necessary. The company bent over backwards to accommodate all my requests for the trip. Anna in particular was fabulous! Would definitely use again and recommend to others. (February 2020 - Secondary School)




Always on hand for any questions and queries and made sure that changes I wished to make were carried out. (February 2020 - Secondary School)




another successful trip, all went to plan. Volcanic beach at Cap d'Agde has sea anemones and so should be avoided except for shallow paddling. (February 2020 - Secondary School)




(January 2020 - Secondary School)




Very helpful with the planning on the trip and were very quick to respond to any queries or responses. They ensured that they spoke to me the day before the trip to go over any details. When in country they helped me out with an issue at the theme park which ensured the students could get on the rides. (October 2019 - Secondary School)

Excellent organisation and good communication. The only issue, which I have fed back, is that the toilet on one coach had not been emptied and was not working. (August 2019 - Secondary School)




Well planned, excellent services offered and great support from Schools into Europe staff (July 2019 - Secondary School)




The most amazing travel company you could wish for. (July 2019 - Secondary School)

Excellent service from this company throughout. They were always quick to respond to emails and answer queries and rang me the day before the trip to go over all of the details once more and to put any concerns/queries to rest. They gave me the ability to really tailor the itinerary and chose an excellent hotel and coach. (May 2019 - Secondary School)




Excellent service! (May 2019 - Secondary School)




Excellent communication and easy to work with. They were flexible when we sent forms back quite due to our Parent Mail crashing. (April 2019 - Secondary School)




Excellent from start to finish. Catered for all our needs and helped us out with an itinerary change whilst we were on the trip. The staff are also fantastic. (April 2019 - Secondary School)




Good bus and drivers, authentic and relevant activities which were well organised. One surplus activity - walking around Boulogne could have been time better used, more engaging. Lots of good communication prior to trip, flexible about payments/numbers. (April 2019 - Secondary School)




Although we were late to the ferry terminal and put on a later ferry, SintoE were able to sort out timings at the French side so that we did not miss our visits. (April 2019 - Primary School)




Superb, always helpful and certainly give confidence and reliability (March 2019 - Secondary School)

Always very helpful when we email or ring. They reply by email very promptly. (January 2019 - Secondary School)




The company was very helpful concerning the social unrest in Paris at the time of the visit. The company director made all assurances and contingency plans necessary. The driver was excellent and negotiated the appalling traffic with poise and patience. I was able to liaise with him regarding drop-off and pick-up points. Overall, everything ran smoothly and efficiently. (December 2018 - Secondary School)




Extremely responsive, easy to work with, friendly staff and a company whose wealth of knowledge and expertise has been vital in our time working together on trips. (November 2018 - Secondary School)

Slick service, information pack contained all the tickets to ensure smooth entrance to museums and activities. Very quick to respond to queries. (July 2018 - Secondary School)




Response from Miss Mott, Trip Leader. We experienced problems with one of the coaches supplied by an external company, which did not meet our stated needs for an adequate disability enabled coach for one student using an electric wheelchair, with the result that the student was unable to go on the trip and due to the delay in resolving the issue, other students missed out on an activity. The company has, however, been very helpful in offering refunds, compensation and offering to organise a free school trip for the disabled boy and his friends to take place on a date to be arranged. (July 2018 - Secondary School)

(July 2018 - Primary School)




Very pleasant and helpful staff, always willing to do whatever is necessary to make the trip happen. Been using them for 10 years. (July 2018 - Secondary School)




I believe Schools into Europe need to make more extensive checks of the experience drivers of coaches have when contracting to coach companies. Our driver had never taken a group overseas before and this was obvious, he needed to have a second driver mentor or to have prepared more than he had for the visit. (July 2018 - Primary School)




The bus company they chose contracted out to another company for one of the 5 buses and this bus and driver did not have the same preparation and training as the others. Hence the 4 rather than 5 stars. (June 2018 - Primary School)




(June 2018 - Secondary School)




(May 2018 - Secondary School)




Some issues with accommodation not providing single rooms as requested and confirmed by SIE. However, upon speaking to them directly, this was resolved. (May 2018 - Secondary School)
