Excellent experience in Paris as the animateur team was highly experienced and brought the immersion to the trip.
The admin side of Voyager prior to the trip needs improving. I spoke to the manager as to how they could support us further in the overall organisation. (April 2024 - Secondary School)

The exclusive use of the target language (French) at the location as well as the variety of activities provide students with good opportunities to discover French culture, consolidate their language skills and enjoy themselves. (November 2023 - Secondary School)

Accomodation was good - with air con. Only disadvantage was the canteen was in a separate building so we had to walk the students to canteen everyday to ensure their safety (October 2023 - Secondary School)

A great centre, easy to get to, but in a lovely small French town for the immersive aspect, without too much travel. (April 2023 - Secondary School)

There is more reliability on bookings from the senior staff at Voyager School Travel than from new staff. The latter were only trained as I needed to progress fast with payments and once the accommodation was found by Voyager School Travel, the programme needed a fair amount of tweaking to take into account travelling time and fix a few bookings on the way.

This trip did not take place. Flights were cancelled at the last minute and not alternative was found. Full refund received. (August 2022 - Secondary School)
I was disappointed this time because of a lack of clarity in communication between too many staff involved and because I was frustrated to have to argue for a visit to take place which had not yet been included in previous years. Yet when done, it was well received. (July 2022 - Secondary School)
I used this agency for the Paris Feb 2022 trip and they were excellent. But for this one, there were too many people involved and yet not enough clarity of communication. (July 2022 - Secondary School)
Organisation was poorer than usual with Voyager this year (July 2022 - Secondary School)
A thoroughly enjoyable and educational visit (June 2022 - Secondary School)
(June 2022 - Secondary School)
Highly responsive, accommodating of my visits wishes and offered a Covid 19 guarantee which they applied twice without difficulty. (February 2022 - Secondary School)
For this trip, we had some issues in the provider changing activities last minute - this caused extra work. The language school was booked for the wrong time. I have written an email outlining issues to Voyager. Otherwise the trip was great. (March 2020 - Secondary School)
Booking with the company was great; final details before travel were missing. Rooms were not sorted (we were 2 beds short); driver number was not provided (had to chase); hotel location to slope was excellent; ski fit could have gone better (more explanation of how it works/ where to leave stuff); hotel facilities lacking (no room for our group for evening activities); had to sort ourselves.
Overall trip went well but only because we have a lot of experience. (February 2020 - Secondary School)

Voyager school travel was good. It is a shame that we only got one English speaking guide as I know in the past there were two. (October 2019 - Secondary School)
The trip went well except the accomodation was not as expected. Voyager dealt with this quickly and well. (October 2019 - Secondary School)

Overall, the experience was very positive. The range of activities, the quality of the food and the accommodation were generally very good. The staff at Arbolar were extremely supportive when we took the precautionary measure of taking a student to hospital. There did seem to be some inconsistencies with some of the other Spanish trips from our school. For example, some groups were able to go on a boat trip but ours did not. On the final day, the intinerary stated that we would receive a packed lunch but the centre were not given this information. We were able to pay for some food at the airport but not for every student. (July 2019 - Secondary School)

Very good. Every care is taken to try and accommodate all needs and requirements and reputable and friendly drivers are used. Everything well-organised (June 2019 - Secondary School)
A few issues, but mainly due to fact that this is the first time we have visited Paris with the school. Itinerary was very optimistic considering the traffic. Lots learnt for next time. (June 2019 - Secondary School)
Some organisational issues however were willing to sort things out and arranged an amazing visit in the end. (April 2019 - Secondary School)

Changing coaches either side of the Channel crossing was inconvenient. (November 2018 - Secondary School)
Good company - easy to contact and communicate. Only one slight issue with dietary requirements being not sent to one hotel, but this was resolved quite quickly when the mistake was noted. (November 2018 - Secondary School)
Excellent organisation and communication. All representatives from Voyager I have worked with are professional, pleasant and extremely helpful. (October 2018 - Secondary School)
