Rayburn Tours - Derby

Nicky Shiels

Rayburn have provided the best experience for our students. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided a tailored approach to support our students. The program was packed with the most spectacular views and our guide added additional features for us to see. The hotel was spot on and the transport was efficient with everything running on time besides a slight delay flying in which was unavoidable. Our trip was topped off by seeing a live volcanic eruption as we were in the same peninsula and were able to watch from a safe distance. The best field trip ever in my 28 years of teaching! Well done Rayburn. Already planning our next trip!

Our experience booking Iceland with Rayburn was excellent which is why we used them on our trip to Barcelona. However, following our trip to Barcelona, we are disappointed. The bus timings on the itinerary were too generous, meaning that we arrived early to places which were closed. The hotel breakfast times did not match the times of the itinerary. There was a lot of dead time throughout out trip - more could have been done to make every moment count.

Iceland was simply magical. Our tour guide was extremely personable and so enthusiastic about our visit. Very welcoming and informative. The schedule was very interesting and ideal for students to get first hand experience for their a level subjects. The accommodation was superb, food amazing, coach driver skilled. All in all, a fabulous school trip. Thank you!

We have used Rayburn for our last two trips to Iceland and have trips booked for Iceland and Naples next year too. Simply a fantastic company with excellent customer service. The Vamoos app makes everything super simple once you're on your tour, and the very proactive tour director (thanks again Tom!) and the Rayburn emergency contact number came in really useful this year when a storm led to the cancellation of our outgoing flight. With very little fuss, Tom and his team reorganised the whole trip (flights, accommodation and the ENTIRE itinerary) to leave and return a day later than planned. And then when ANOTHER storm blew in a few days later and cancelled our newly booked return flight, they immediately went about sourcing an extra night of accommodation in Reykjavik and alternative flights for the following day. Students, staff and parents are so grateful for the work it took to make this trip such a success despite the best efforts of the Icelandic weather! I will be using Rayburn for all our future trips!

This is the third school trip that I have arranged through Rayburn Tours (twice previously to Iceland). This time we travelled further afield to Japan. Rayburn's support was fantastic from start to finish; it felt very personal and there was always someone I could reach out to with questions/suggested alterations to the itinerary. Travelling from the Isle of Man we have some additional travel needs which Rayburn always take into consideration. I will definitely get a quote from Rayburn again in the future and look to use their services. Thanks especially to Lauren and Ed for their support.

Our recent school history trip to Berlin and Prague, organised by Rayburn, was an outstanding experience. From start to finish, they provided exceptional service and ensured that every detail was taken care of. The itinerary was well thought-out, with a perfect balance between educational visits and cultural exploration. The guides were knowledgeable and brought the historical sites to life for our students, particularly when visiting key landmarks like the Berlin Wall and Prague Castle.

Rayburn was incredibly reliable, handling all logistics smoothly, from transport and accommodation to meals. We felt supported throughout the process, which made everything stress-free for both staff and students. I would highly recommend Rayburn to any school looking for a dependable and professional service for educational trips.

Rayburn produced a bespoke package for our recent choir tour to Zaragoza. They were brilliant from start to finish and facilitated the most memorable and important choir tour in our School's history. I definitely recommend them!

I would highly recommend using Rayburn Tours if you are thinking of booking an overseas school trip. They made everything super easy from our first enquiry to our final trip. Communication and organisation were thorough throughout. This is our second time as a department using them for our Art and Photography trip abroad, previously going to Florence and having just returned from Barcelona; I know we will definitely be using them again in the future.
