We thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Berlin and Gdansk! Students particularly loved the WWII museum in Gdansk, with many saying they could have spent the whole day in there.

NST aims to provide an immersive experience of French and they did this through communication with pupils and recommended visits. Communication between the provider and the venue (chateau) could be improved e.g. more detailed information for coach drivers about drop off points and one visit missing from the itinerary they had been given resulting in missing documentation for a treasure hunt.
Thank you for your feedback - we are sorry that something was missing and we have passed this onto our team to ensure that it won't happen again. We hope to work with you again soon - NST team.

Our NST Contact was not very knowledgeable or particularly helpful. Overall the trip was good, but planning from NST (Contact) was poor - 1 visit on day 1 and 5 on day 2, leaving 5 hours to get to the ferry when 2/3 more than enough, reluctant to accept any changes we asked for, itinerary was wrong - despite being asked to change it (both on paper and on App). More than 2/3rds of the visits we free, so would question the cost.
Thank you for leaving feedback and we are sorry to hear about this experience. We have passed on your comments to our customer service team and will be in touch directly - NST team.
