How did you hear about MasterClass?
Word of mouth.
What were your impressions upon first point of contact?
Very good and reassuring as this was the first trip I had organised.
How easy did MasterClass make it for you to launch your tour?
Very easy and they were quick to respond to any questions I had.
What did you do to promote and sell your tour to your students and their parents?
We completed an initial presentation outlining the events of the tour. For parents we completed a separate presentation with the help of a Masterclass representative.
raising funds for a tour is never easy, which techniques did you employ to make sure your students raised enough money?
/ ‘FIFA Night’ competitions
/ Bag packing at the local supermarket
/ Bun sales
How did you engage your students and their parents in the pre-tour preparations?
We hosted an evening to inform parents and guardians about all things Salou. We outlined specifically what we would be doing, day by day, and exactly what students needed to take.
We made the parents aware of our department twitter feed. We used this feed to keep parents informed of things in the build up to our tour and whilst on the tour itself.
You were very active on MasterClass social media feeds whilst on tour, do you see this as being key to involving parents and colleagues about what their students and children are getting up to on tour?
The twitter feed was a huge success and parents specifically complimented the department on its use before and during the tour. For most parents it will be the first time they have been without there son/daughter for that duration of time, for many this is a nervous time.
The feedback we received was very complimentary and most said how brilliant it was to see and know exactly what their child was up to.
What do you think the key to a successful tour is?
Organisation, without this from the person in charge of the tour and the tour company, the running of the trip would have been unsuccessful.

hoW do i get a quote?If you would like a quotation for any of the destinations in this brochure, please contact one of the office team who would be happy to assist.
Whether you have toured with us many times before or are a first time group leader, we would like to draw to your attention the following key points:
priCeS, booKing & depoSitSpriCeSOur tour managers go to great lengths to ensure your tour price is as accurate as possible, when increases are most likely where passenger numbers decrease, ‘low-cost’ flights are included or where the tour’s intended date of departure is relatively soon.
Book early to achieve the best value and price and keep your tour manager informed of progress, as he/she may be able to hold options and reserve elements of your tour (on a non-obligation basis) to help preserve the price.
hoW do i booK?After reading our K t&C’s on our website, complete our K Online Booking Form. Remember no reservations will be made on your behalf until:
/ We have received a completed Booking Form with the appropriate deposit (see table below).
/ Your booking has been accepted and a confirmation invoice being issued. No bookings will be confirmed until we have a contract signed by you as the group leader and cleared deposit payment.
What depoSit iS required?type of tour First Deposit Second Deposit Final Balance (on booking) (8 weeks after booking)
COaCH tOUrS £50pp £80pp 12 Weeks prior within Europe to tour departure
air tOUrS £150pp £80pp 12 Weeks prior within Europe to tour departure
Where you choose a low-cost airline for your arrangements, a larger deposit may be required to cover the full air fare cost. Any increased amount will be specified in our offer terms. The final invoice will be sent about 14 weeks before departure. The balance of the cost of your arrangements must be received not less than 12 weeks prior to departure (please allow time for payments to clear).
If we do not receive all payments due (including any surcharge where applicable) in full and on time, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled by you. In this case we will be entitled to keep all deposits paid or due at that date.
If we do not cancel straight away because you have promised to make payment, you must pay the late payment charges shown in our Booking Conditions, section 4.3 depending on the date we reasonably treat your booking as cancelled.
do you uSe loW-CoSt airlineS?No-frills/low-cost airlines such as Easyjet and Ryanair can often provide substantial savings for air travel to a large number of our European destinations.
To take full advantage of their services, it’s important to consider the following:
/ The cheapest fares are generally available the earlier you book.
/ Fares are constantly changing and are likely to continue increasing in price until the day of departure. To avoid airfare increases, book early to have a guaranteed fare.
/ Low-cost flights require full payment up front. Without a deposit sufficient to cover the cost of your chosen flights, your booking will not be completed by your tour manager. Please request a clear indication of how much deposit is required from that person.
/ If your specific flights are not yet available, an estimated cost will be factored in to prepare the quote. This can be revised and will always be confirmed at the time of booking the flights.
/ A complete and accurate names list is required at the time of booking. Names must be as they appear in an individual’s passport as all name changes will incur an airline-imposed fee.
/ Cancellations are liable for the full cost of the air fare, plus any additional deposit amount paid. Deposits can only be refunded if a group or individual cancel prior to flights being purchased.
terMS And ConditionS K Please read t&C’s on our website
availabilitYAll quotations are subject to availability.
Touring over bank holidays and the school holiday periods can mean limited space on travel, certain tournaments and festivals. Book early to ensure availability.
Are There SeatbeltS on CoaCheS?All UK coaches will be fitted with seat belts.
In the event of a breakdown, if it is necessary to provide a replacement vehicle overseas, due to the different legislation in countries outside the UK, this may not be possible if a non-UK coach is supplied.
