France

Paris

Great trip! The kids are still talking about it. They loved it. Thanks PGL!

It is the third time I organised a trip with PGL. I would strongly recommend them. They are very efficient and helpful whether it is at the planning stage (they always get back to you a.s.a.p. with the information needed),or during the trip (from the moment you arrive at your destination, one person is dedicated to your group and deals with everything).

We combined culture/history and entertainment with a visit to Disneyland Paris.

Excellent accommodation. Very helpful and experienced staff. Very conveniently located to organise day trips in and around Paris i.e. Disneyland Paris. Although it was full, there was never any delay in terms of meal service, activities, etc. T

The coach company was organised by PGL. They called me the day before the departure to inform me that
our coach had been upgraded therefore we would have air-conditioning, wider seats and a DVD player. I really appreciated being informed about it. The only down side was the fact that the DVD player never really worked properly and therefore students never managed to watch a whole film.

We left with a group of Year7 and 8 students. It gave them confidence to speak French but also it increased their motivation to continue to learn a foreign language. It made it more relevant. It was also a great opportunity to spend a few days away from home and learn to live within a group. In that respect, it really increased their confidence. Finally, they also learnt a lot about French history and culture.

Accommodation: good location, comfortable.
Staff: efficient and very helpful.
Boat trip on the Seine River: commentaries in various languages.

do not try and go tot the top of the Eiffel Tower on July 2nd. It is too crowded and you have to change lift twice. Same thing about Disneyland, the waiting time for the rides was a bit too long at times.
