How it Works

From First Enquiry to Unforgettable Trip – We’ve Got You Covered

3 out of 4 schools book with us again

Organising a school trip can feel like a lot – but with Activ4, you’re never on your own. Our process is built around teachers: clear, structured and fully supported at every step.

Here’s how we take your group from idea to adventure:

Start the Conversation

Tell us what you're looking for – no pressure, no commitment.

 Whether you have a destination in mind or just a general idea, we’ll talk through your goals, timings, group size and budget. You’ll get honest advice from someone who understands how schools work.

Get Your Bespoke Quote

No templates here. Just a trip designed around you.

 We’ll create a bespoke itinerary based on your needs – detailing activities, accommodation, transport, learning objectives and costs. You’ll receive a clear quote and all the information you need to get sign-off from senior leaders or governors.

Confirm and Prepare

We take care of the admin. You focus on your group.

Once you’re ready to go ahead, we’ll lock in all the arrangements – from accommodation and excursions to insurance and transport. We’ll also support you with all paperwork, risk assessments and parent communication tools.

Ready to Travel

Everything’s in place – and we’re with you all the way.

 Before departure, your dedicated tour coordinator will make sure everything’s set. You’ll have a full itinerary, emergency contacts and final checklists. On the trip itself, we provide 24/7 support, so if anything crops up, you’re never alone.

What Teachers Say

“Thank you for another extremely well-planned trip to a very suitable resort. Your planning makes organising the trip so much easier.”

Gabriella McRill
Mulberry Academy

“Activ4 never fail to impress. Their customer service is excellent and they always do their best to accommodate the needs of our group. Our students had saved for years to make this trip possible, and all the feedback from parents and students has been overwhelmingly positive. The support from the whole Activ4 team—especially our Rep, who was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout the week—made a real difference. We’ve already asked for a quote to return to Sestriere in 2027 and wouldn’t change a thing”

Natalie Stockdale
Q3 Academy

“A huge thank you for you and your team for organising such a fantastic trip, the pupils have talked about nothing else for the last 2 days. Secondly, the trip ran so smoothly because of your assistance on the trip. We have now been with Activ4 twice and on both times I have been impressed with the level of service/ attention to detail the Activ4 staff give without being asked. I cannot recommend your company highly enough for customer service. It is also the reason why I am wanting to organise our 2019 trip with you.”

Alastair Woodcock
Thurstable School

“The students are very excited and they are on the final countdown. You have all been fab with helping with any questions and in all the organising of the trip – thank you!”

Emma Palombo
(New York Performing Arts tour)

“I have decided to work with Activ4 they provide excellent service in the UK and the in-resort rep is only a call away and when I have had to call her in the past she has always been there.”

Miss S M Worron

“Everyone had a great time in Pragelato; we will go back”

Mrs K Johnson

“The activ4 reps were excellent. Nothing too much trouble and a different attitude to anything else we have experienced.”

Mr T Marshall

“We were very impressed with Steve our Rep, he was always there to help and made sure we had a good time”

Miss J Harvey

“I am being looked after by you all very well. Its been brilliant to have such good communication with you all and I feel that I’m nearly all prepared for the trip!”
