This is our second visit with SLT and the service and organisation were exceptional yet again, truly going above and beyond. A huge thank you to Linsey for the meticulous planning and to Jake for attending the visit. Jake built great relationships with both students and staff, making the trip even more memorable. The entire team provided brilliant communication throughout. Highly recommended and we look forward to working with the team again in the future.”

“I cannot speak highly enough for the fantastic service and support we received from SLT on our trip (with 45 pupils) to Krakow. From making the enquiry until we landed back in the UK I felt well looked after, like the team were doing their best to give everything I requested and supported whilst navigating my first international trip. I would highly recommend, especially Jess whose support, advice and exceptional care whilst out there was perfection, she made the trip a breeze! I've already booked for next year!”

“I can't thank SLT tours enough for delivering an excellent trip to Chamonix for our school group. Despite an incredible amount of setbacks due to Turing Funding issues, and several date changes, SLT were easy to contact and worked tirelessly to ensure our trip went ahead. Thanks so much to Linsey, James and Becky for your work on the Chamonix Trip.”
