Testimonials about this trip:

Diverse will always be my first choice when looking at future trips because I just don't think anyone can match up to your service.
Arden Academy

I was highly impressed by Diverse. I certainly will be using them again in the future. The information pack was very detailed which made getting around very easy. There is a lot to pack into 3 days. Students got a lot out of this visit.

Diverse School Travel have been a fantastic company to work with to arrange an international trip. The travel consultant (Leanne) was really helpful, organised, friendly and easy to talk to and made the organisation of the trip really easy. I would recommend Diverse School Travel to others and would definitely use them again!
