Our outbound department prides itself on using
the best ground agents in various destinations worldwide.
We know that all tours handled by our outbound department
will be of a high standard.
We handle all travel arrangements for the group. Costs are
based on the budget set by the school and will include flights,
accommodation, transfers, fixtures and/or cultural visits.
When arranging tours, it is easier to organise fixtures if your host country is at school. Tours during holiday periods are possible but fixtures are difficult and may often be grouped close together.
Generally the best time for Australia schools touring is September and October.
All tour costs are based on the specific requirements of
each tour and we will do our utmost to give you the best
value for money.
Once you have decided on your destination an SSTI representative
will be available at an information evening to answer any
questions that staff, students or parents may have.

and Monte Casino, an amazing shopping experience are
some worthwhile things to do, if just a short time
is to be spent in Johannesburg. |
