Having used Travelbound before I was not surprised by how brilliant they were from day 1 for the initial contact to the trip itself. They were well organised, were able to answer and sort the 'million' questions I had as the organiser throughout the process and their local rep that they employed in Naples was an absolute godsend - nothing was too much for her - even when her house was flooded on the last day she was sorting things out for us. Wouldn't hesitate to use and recommend Travelbound again. (October 2024 - Secondary School)

Very good trip in terms of excursions and location. (July 2024 - Secondary School)

The venue was in an excellent location and well kept. The owners/managers were welcoming and the food for breakfast and lunch was good. They organised 3 different restaurants for the evening meals which the staff thought were good (particularly places 1 and 3) however the students did complain about the food on offer. I would also have liked to see a few more activities for students to do in the common area. (July 2024 - Secondary School)

Stephanie at Travelbound was very organised and efficient and we had all the necessary paperwork for the trip. It would be nice if Travelbound could organise or suggest some activities for the evening as well, rather than just saying "at leisure", Year 7's require constant supervision and entertainment!

A good trip, it would be great if students could see how they produce apple products and not just the shop. Healthy and vegetarian and vegan food should be provided instead of mainly fast food. (November 2023 - Secondary School)

Poor organisation from their end. Initially booked the wrong ferry departure time by 24 hours, wrote the wrong name on all documentation sent to us (Horbury School rather than Horbury Academy) and also gave the wrong address and restaurant name for the meal in the first day. With all of this taken into account, they were very responsive to emergency phone calls and did rectify all mistakes promptly. (November 2023 - Secondary School)

I wanted to take our first trip to France to a venue which was safe and secure. The idea of a large city trip was quickly dismissed, so I picked the chateau and Travelbound. The setting was fine but I needed to adjust the itinerary to suit an older set of students as most of the suggested activities were geared at upper primary/KS3 students.

Throughout the trip I was kept informed of what was happening. All guides were professional, knowledgeable and passionate about where we were visiting. (March 2020 - Secondary School)

Really great service - everything went smooth, communication was excellent and the activities provided were appropriate, fun and educational. (March 2020 - Secondary School)

The trip was very well organised and communication was easy. A couple of things didn't go as planned: 1. The lunch vouchers at the ferry did not work so we spent at least half an hour waiting until this was solved. 2. Ice skating: the company didn't have access to our tickets. (November 2019 - Secondary School)

An excellent company, kept in touch frequently. There were some issues with timings that had to be adjusted on the trip because it was not possible to get to certain places in the timeframe allocated. But the hotel they provided was really excellent, I was given a tour for health and safety and shown exits, and food was brilliant. (November 2019 - Secondary School)

Initially, very good service. However, the itinerary was not well organised or communicated. The departure time had been communicated on repeated itineraries as 1.30am. On the final itinerary it suddenly changed to 3am and I had to make calls to all parents to communicate this. One of our bookings had the time as 15.30 on the voucher but when we arrived they had expected us at 11am and this had been the booked time. Luckily, we were still able to continue as the attraction accommodated us. The times given to attractions were far too long and we did a lot of work to fill time effectively, searching out other activities that we could do for free. Travel timings were hugely overestimated with an hour given to complete a 15 minute journey, for example. (July 2019 - Secondary School)
Provider Response: Thank you for your review. Apologies for a late change to your departure time and a time discrepancy to one of your attraction bookings. We like to account for plenty of time when travelling in between places, however we will of course be happy to create a tighter schedule if needed. Travelbound endeavours to provide excellent customer service and we hope to work with you again in the future.

At all stages of planning, booking etc. for our three Nice study visits, Travelbound have been efficient and effective in every respect. (July 2019 - Secondary School)

First of all, the cost of the trip per student is more expensive for the exactly the same activities as the trip from 2 years ago organised by Langues et Voyages. When one of our student decided she did not to come more than 70 days before departure, Travelbound recalculated the cost which put us in a difficult financial situation when according to their terms and conditions as it happened more than 70 days before departure the cost per student should have remained the same. Secondly, they have allocated us 2 coach drivers when we have always only ever had 1 as we never travel very far from the accommodation centre and we have lots of breaks. When our finance manager queried that they never came back to us with a clear explanation. Thirdly, we have only found out the name of the coach company recently which is not satisfying as I had a meeting with the parents on Monday and thought I wasn't going to be able to give the parents of our students that information. Our Head teacher actually called Travelbound on that point but we were told to wait until we were allocated a coach company by Connections! I phoned Connections myself but they told me to wait! Finally, as my level of trust with the organisation of the trip has been challenged, yesterday I decided to call all the activity centres we are visiting in June to make sure it was all booked and that the times of our visits matched with the provisional itinerary which time schedule was not complete. This means that I had to make these phone calls on my personal time to check that Travelbound had done the work properly. (July 2019 - Primary School)
Provider Response: Thank You for your review, and we are sorry that you were not fully satisfied with the service provided by Travelbound. We care about our customer satisfaction so would always reassure you that all aspects of the tour were booked as per the proposed itinerary. Our apologies if you felt this did not happen. From our records a refund was provided to the school for the second coach driver which was not required. Travelbound endeavours to provide excellent customer service to all of our client schools and we take all feed-back very seriously. We hope we can restore your trust on a future booking.

Too much chasing and felt a bit second class. Took ages to answer emails and when I complained they tried to prove me wrong rather than apologise. (April 2019 - Secondary School)
Provider Response: Thank you for your review. Travelbound endeavours to provide excellent customer service to all our client schools and we take all feed-back very seriously. We are sorry to hear that you did not feel looked after during your booking with us. We always do our best to respond to emails promptly and make sure our customers are treated as priority. It’s a shame that you felt this didn’t come across. We hope we can restore your trust with future bookings with us.

Our coach was not booked at the correct time on the way up to the airport - had I not rung the coach company we would have missed our flight - they did give us a free drink on the final day but we felt this was quite an oversight at 1:30am. All the excursions were booked and the hotel was lovely - we did find it difficult to communicate with the coach driver provided for our excursions as he didnt speak any English - which caused us problems when it came to directions. He was really lovely but for future trips it might be helpful to have someone who can translate. Communication between us and travelbound was very good. (April 2019 - Secondary School)
Provider Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that parts of your trip were not as you expected and that there was a mis communication with the booking times of the coach. We always try to make sure the bus driver on the coach service speaks at least a minimum amount of English to communicate. We can imagine it was frustrating for this not to be the case, and we can assure you that this will not happen again. We are happy to hear that correspondence worked well between us, and look forward to you booking with us again.

The trip was very successful. However I do find I have to work quite hard when organising the trip to get Travelbound to provide the trip we asked for. For example, sometimes times of excursions need to be changed because they aren't right. I spent a lot of time sending emails when it would be helpful if they were a bit more proactive in following my instructions. (April 2018 - Secondary School)

Travelbound provided excellent assistance in both the planning process and during the trip. Everything ran smoothly. The only blip was some confusion over exact coach routes across the continent (there was a minor issue with the route the coach company wished to take). Travelbound helped resolve this. The accommodation - Markushof, Wagrain, Salzburgerland, Austria This was absolutely fantastic (once again). It is a venue for young people that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. A fantastic location, great facilities, so helpful, ideal for children/young adults, top quality food and service. (January 2018 - Secondary School)
