Tour Operator:
Galina International
Made it all virtually painless. Helen was i/c all our arrangements and very quick to respond to any queries/alterations/
Venue:
Le Touquet / Azincourt
Le Touquet was an ideal base for visitng Azincourt and also having plenty to occupy students in the evening - we walked their legs off!
Accommodation:
Hippotel
Students accommodated in mini-suites for 4 - 5, staff rooms ideally allocated, meals fab. Hotel really geared up for school groups.
Transport:
Coachmaster
Driver was in training so supervisorcame too. Very efficient, cooperative, flexible, and friendly
Benefit:
This was a multi-subject, UFA based Summer Challenge. Galina met our needs perfectly. The students had been "fed" information about Henry V and the Battle of Agincourt and the quest was to find out "the truth". A really hands on experience and provoked much interest and energy. Age range from Year 7 to 6th form.
Plus points:
Le Touquet was an excellent base - our Head Teacher knew it well and became an excellent guide - lovely evening walks and well supervised beach.
The Azincourt Museum is very interactive and the guides informative and fun.

Minus points:
It's always such a long coach journey for us to get anywhere, but that's life. It was a short (2 night) trip so not much time to find anything bad. The kids would say "not enough shopping"!
