We could never have known that February half term 2020 would be so significant in our company's history. The last full season of tour departures before the coronavirus pandemic brought the travel industry to a grinding halt.
All schools safely returned home from their tours, the last one (possibly of the entire year) being Harrow School's 3 day trip to Krakow returning on March 8th. Feedback from all these tours is particularly valuable and poignant at this unprecedented time and we thank all our teachers for their feedback and continued loyal support.
- "The group enjoyed a splendid tour, which will live long in the memory. I have been to Russia many times with school parties and this was undoubtedly the best experience yet. Throughout the planning stage and while overseas, it was clear that your efforts were focussed on providing the best possible experience. All parties were knowledgeable and had an evident pride in the service offered."
Deputy Headmaster, King's School Rochester, Russia - "TCBC run very well organised trips and do everything they can to ensure they run smoothly and students enjoy themselves. Our last trip to Berlin could hardly have been better."
