2. Tell us about your trip – dates and destination

We understand that teachers and group leaders come to us at different stages of the trip planning process. If you know the specific dates and destination for your trip, tell us here. If you’re looking at a range of dates or possible destinations, put the beginning of the range in “Travel from” and the end in “Travel to”. You can leave Destination City blank if you are looking at more than one option. “Preferred airport” helps us identify suitable airports for your flight. If you want to explore possible routes from your preferred airport, skyscanner.com is a good place to start.

3. Trip Interests and traveller details

With Blue Stamp Travel you can be sure that every itinerary is tailored to your group. Select as many options from the list below as apply to your group.

• Cultural visits: excursions, museums, dance classes, guided tours, castles, cookery lessons, football stadiums … The list is endless!
• Language school: add language lessons to your itinerary to transform your trip – from as little as one morning’s lessons to a full week of intensive teaching.
• Tailor-made tours: taking your sports team to the European Championships? Arranging a professional development trip for school leaders? We’re experts in bespoke itineraries for groups with unique requirements.
• Work experience: work placements for travellers aged 16+ with carefully selected local employers.
• Flight only: let us deal with the admin of arranging flights for your group
• Other: anything that doesn’t fit into one of the categories above

We’re always happy to quote for a range of group sizes and traveller : staff ratios. If you’re not yet sure of the number of travellers, tell us some expected sizes (such as 20+3 to 40+4). We’ll quote for various ratios within that range.

Traveller details is the place to tell us all about traveller ages, their learning contexts (GCSE, A-level etc), and special requirements. Tell us a bit about your school, too – it helps us tailor the package and quote to your specific needs.

4. Accommodation and Meals

Tell us the types of accommodation you’d like for your paying travellers and staff. Some groups choose homestay accommodation for students and hotels for staff, for example, while others want everyone under one roof. Use the accommodation preferences fields to tell us if you’d like single, twin, or multi-bed rooms for your paying travellers or staff. If you have any special requests for your accommodation, such as a meeting room or outdoor space, let us know. You can also tell us if you will require breakfast only, half-board or full-board meals.

Top tip: staff staying in twin rooms is a great way to keep costs down for your trip. Hostels are generally cheaper per night than hotels, too.

5. Excursion requests

If you would like to include activities or excursions, tell us all about them here. You can also indicate types of activities for your group if you’d like us to suggest programme elements for you. We have years of experience running trips for groups of all sizes and ages, so we’re always happy to propose ideas for activities.

Top tip: plan a mixture of paid-for and free activities in your itinerary to help make the most of your trip budget. (Ask about our Blue Stamp Travel Uno cards for free, fun evening activity!)

Your enquiry will be linked to this organisation. You can also tell us the name of another contact individual (though the enquiry will remain linked to your name unless you ask us to change it). If you’d like a phone call or Teams meeting to talk about your trip, let us know when is the best time to reach you.
