STC Expeditions - Exeter

Harry Good

My son has recently returned from a 10 day school trip to South Africa organised by STC. I was extremely worried and nervous about him going away so far from home. I needn't have worried. The organisation of the trip was second to none. Extremely professional and STC were on hand to answer any questions I had, from the time of booking, right up until the day before departure. I must give a special mention to Holly as she was superb! She went above and beyond, answering all my questions. My son has returned and described the trip as "Life changing". He had the time of his life. The trip itself was amazing and a jam packed itinery. He has learned so much from his experience. It was worth every penny. If his school were to organise another trip with STC I would sign him up, no hesitation!

STC Expeditions were absolutely brilliant all the way through from initial enquiry to providing support when we had returned. They delivered a fantastic trip to Borneo for 24 students and 3 staff which ticked all of our requirements. Clear communication throughout and they provided very thorough risk assessments, a comprehensive EVAC plan and guidance on sustainable tourism, water, kit list etc. STC also provided very detailed sessions on these topics to pupils before we departed and ran a thought-provoking inset for many staff at our school who run school trips. Support whilst in country was excellent as well - we had a very knowledgeable guide and communication from the UK when needed was very efficient. Genuinely interested to take on feedback as well. Will definitely be using them again.

Safely taking 25 young teenagers to Africa shouldn't be this easy but with STC every contingency was covered. Clear guidance with passports, visas, antimalarials, sustainable tourism, water, equipment and the most comprehensive safety management plan I have ever seen ensured the most enjoyable, rewarding, humbling and educational trip was shared by students and teachers alike. Happy to recommend this fantastic company to all and I personally wouldn't look to use anyone else for future trips of this kind. Thanks to all at STC.

Fantastic trip to Morocco organised by STC. Chris was amazingly thorough - came into school and did a great pre-trip presentation which settled the minds of parents and students about to start quite an adventurous trip. On the ground team were similarly impressive - all selected from Berber population so we had a full on Moroccan experience, engaging with local people and business. Highlights included a wonderful trek in the Atlas Mountains, tour of Marrakesh and the camel ride and beach clean in Essaouira. I would highly recommend this tour to those studying Economics, Geography and Business.

We had our first expedition to Borneo with STC this summer and wow - what an amazing time we had. Chris and his team have been exceptional throughout the process. From our first enquiry right through to our return, they have been there to answer all our questions. Travelling as a group across multiple schools we haven't been a straight forward 'case' however nothing has been too much of a problem. Whilst on our expedition, the itinerary was varied and interesting and the 'in-country' staff second to none. We can't wait for our next expedition which we are already planning with STC. It is great to be able to discuss such big adventures like these with a team of 'like-minded' people who are so knowledgable but also understand the aims and ethos we are trying to achieve. Thanks to everyone at STC

Thank you to the fabulous team at STC and the team on the ground in India. From booking to completion the experience has been absolutely fabulous! We have felt fully supported throughout the process and felt perfectly safe in India thanks to the wonderful guides there. I would definitely use STC for travel again. It is definitely 5 star treatment when compared with other school travel organisations!

Despite not being able to complete our expedition to Borneo with STC, we have been impressed with their professionalism and standards in all our dealings with them. The information provided before and after booking the expedition was comprehensive, and training provided to the pupils was thorough. Since the onset of the pandemic they have maintained clear lines of communication, and have offered generous cancellation terms once it became obvious that the rip could not go ahead. I can thoroughly recommend STC expeditions and hope to complete our travels with them at some point in the future.

if you are planning an educational trip for your class, look no further. Based on my experience with this company, they will guide and assist you all the way from the start til the end of the trip. STC has made a worry free trip for me and my students.

They also provide fast customer support and 24HR emergency line in case of emergency during the trip.
