TCBC is a family business celebrating our 20th anniversary in 2025.
We specialise in carefully planned educational school trips, working with teachers to create experiences that are safe, well-organised and genuinely enriching for students. We understand the responsibility that comes with taking a group abroad, which is why our approach is built around clear communication, strong safeguarding, and practical support before and during every trip.
We are a market leader in customised educational school trips and are known for the bespoke, personalised nature of our tours. We also offset 100% of carbon emissions on all trips.
In 2025, TCBC was named Best School Tour Operator (Small/Medium) at the School Travel Awards - an award voted for by teachers, reflecting the trust schools place in our experience and approach. The reviews below are written by teachers who have travelled with us and offer honest feedback on student engagement, organisation, and the realities of managing a school group overseas.
We look forward to organising your next school trip!

Yes. TCBC holds an ATOL licence, is a member of ABTA and the School Travel Forum, and provides full financial protection for school trips in line with UK regulations. This means your booking and payments are protected and managed according to recognised industry standards.
We work closely with trip leaders from the planning stage onwards, helping with itineraries, logistics, and practical advice. Before departure, we provide clear information and support to help you feel prepared. During the trip, our focus is on making sure arrangements run smoothly so teachers can concentrate on their students. We aim to reduce the administrative burden as much as possible. While teachers remain in overall charge of their group, we handle the travel logistics and planning, and provide guidance to support the school’s own processes.
Yes. Many of the teachers who travel with us are leading an overseas trip for the first time. We guide trip leaders through the process step by step and are available to answer questions, helping to make the experience manageable and reassuring.
We work with a wide range of school groups and subjects, tailoring trips to suit different ages, learning objectives and interests. Trips are planned in collaboration with teachers to ensure they are appropriate for the group.
Our trips are designed to support learning while also giving students memorable experiences. We work with teachers to ensure activities are purposeful, engaging and appropriate, helping students get the most out of being abroad.
We are a family business and our approach is personal and experience-led. We focus on clear communication, realistic planning and strong support for teachers, rather than one-size-fits-all packages. Many schools return to us or recommend us to colleagues, which is reflected in the reviews below.
