EXCELLENT Based on 19 reviews Posted on David TullyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just returned from a truly outstanding stay at Château du Baffy with a large school group. The staff at the château went above and beyond to make our experience a positive and enjoyable one - nothing was ever too much trouble. The food was plentiful and the quality was excellent. We cannot wait to return in the future. Our travel advisor Steff and tour co-ordinator Nicole were absolutely incredible throughout the process of booking and planning our trip. They worked so hard to make this trip exactly what we wanted it to be and we are so grateful.Posted on Laurianne BayartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous quittons un lieu fantastique avec une équipe formidable. Nous avons été considérés comme des rois aussi bien dans les chambres qu’à table. Merci pour votre accueil. Réussir à accueillir 80 élèves et 10 personnes encadrantes dans d’aussi bonnes conditions montre le sérieux et le professionnalisme de votre équipe. N’hésitez pas, vous serez comblés !Posted on Paul ShouksmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A brilliant place to take groups of children. Nice and close to lots of interesting places such as Bayeux and Arromanches.Posted on thierry constantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Belle expérience de voyage scolaire dans ce château. Les logements de type mobil-homes pour les élèves étaient agréables. Ils avaient un vaste espace pour courir et s'amuser. Château bien situé pour découvrir les lieux historiques emblématiques de la région. Nous pensions cependant avoir un buffet de déjeuner de type anglais car le choix n'était pas très varié. Le personnel était à notre écoute. Nous vous remercions.Posted on Daniel EasthamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently went on our second MFL school trip with Select. This time to Andalucía which was exceptionally well organised and proved to be a fantastic experience for our students. From the accommodation at Spark Language School and the cultural visits to Seville and Cadiz, to the engaging cooking and flamenco lessons all in Spanish, the itinerary struck a perfect balance between education and enjoyment. Select's communication was clear and timely throughout. Overall, it was a memorable trip that greatly enhanced students’ confidence and enthusiasm for Spanish.Posted on K HendryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantasic service from Select Tours! Very supportive and efficient and a great trip.Posted on Katie WatkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the initial quote up to the return, Select have provided our students with a memorable experience. The Oude Abdij was fantastic with the communal areas meeting our requirements. The food at all our stop offs was incredible and staff were incredibly flexible with our later arrival times. Pewsey Vale coach drives were absolutely fantastic, accommodating and engaging with our students. Already looking to re-book!Posted on David MiddletonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the second time I have run a trip to New York through Select School Tours, and once again the experience was exceptional. The planning and support provided were outstanding from start to finish. The team handled last‑minute changes effortlessly and were incredibly accommodating when new students needed to be added. The scheduling of activities was perfectly judged, allowing me to deliver a trip that offered excellent value for money and left a lasting impression on both students and their parents. I am now planning a new trip to New York and, although we are required to go through a contract tender process, I would be delighted to travel with Select School Tours again. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering a school trip to New York—or, indeed, to any of the destinations they offer.Posted on Miss SpinksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
