Os really greatfull work with them!
Very professional and trustworthy company.
Great & friendly staff. Top communication.
Halsbury Travel organised our rugby tour to Leicester in March 2024. From the beginning, they communicated clearly and kept us up to date. They put together a great itinerary for our players and everything ran perfectly during the tour. We would definitely recommend Halsbury Travel for group looking to organise tours and visits.
The itinerary with Halsbury was brilliant and the students really enjoyed it. We went to the Netherlands for a Football tour so good to experience some culture. It would have been nice to experience a little bit more of Amsterdam perhaps via a cruise. We went on the Rotterdam cruise instead.
We are very pleased with our partnership with Halsbury travel. The team is very friendly and professional . They are also very concerned to find the best solutions and the best quality for their clients - and know perfectly how to deal with imponderables. I would highly recommend Halsbury travel.
The collaboration and partnership with Halsbury are great. The communication with the staff is smooth, and organization of study abroad groups is excellent. Thank you!
We organised a Business Studies trip through Halsbury's to Barcelona. It was a great success, and enjoyed by all. However, the success of the trip was down to the organisation and communication we received from Halsbury's and especially our trip advisor, Giusiana. We had to make several changes to the details and these were dealt with with efficiently, effectively and with polite care. We will definitely use Halsbury's again, and I highly recommend them.
From thinking about the destination and then the excursion, to having a fully tailored itinerary, Halsbury has helped design a trip that our students enjoyed and continue to talk about. I will use the company again and again.
Everything was very well organised and there was always a swift response when I phoned or emailed. I felt very well supported by Halsbury and would not hesitate to use them again.
Our experience of using Halsbury for our Barcelona trip was well organised and worked very well. Millie was very helpful with organising the itinerary and everything went smoothly. We would definitely use them again. We arranged our own transport to the airport and Halsbury did the rest. Would recommend.
Really well planned trip. All went very smoothly. Lovely coach driver who was very accommodating.
Very good communication both before and during the trip. Halsbury were so helpful in trying to accommodate our needs eg: having hours to spend in Barcelona. The hotel we were based in was fabulous for staff and students and the watersports centre provided varied activities at the right level for our mixed ability students. A fantastic trip all round!
We had a great time on our trip to Iceland, the sites were amazing and the organisation of the trip was easy with the assistance from Halsbury. We took 50 Yr 5-8 children and stayed in two different locations, everything went smoothly and we were well looked after by our hotels and guide.
This is the third trip I have done with Halsbury. Their organization, the guides that they choose and the hotels they pick are tailored to our specifics and then done carefully with school groups in mind. If things go wrong, they fix them quickly. I couldn't be more pleased, our trip was life-changing for our students and I will definitely use Halsbury again.
Great trip to Costa Brava with Halsbury. The hotel was excellent and any issues we had, Millie dealt with swiftly. Will definitely book again.
After a delay in the start to our trip due to an injury, Halsbury were in regular contact offering support and re-arranging timings so we didn't miss any activities which which really helpful and reassuring. A well organised trip and will be back next year
We had a fantastic battlefields trip with Halsbury this year. The accommodation, food and itinerary were all spot on and we really enjoyed guiding the group ourselves. Great value for money and a wonderful experience had by all
Our son travelled to Italy for a school ski trip to Sestriere with Halsbury. The hotel, selected by Halsbury, provided our son with food that gave him a severe nut reaction which was immediate during the meal. Halsbury were not aware of EU law requirements for allergies (which I have in writing from them) and therefore failed to ensure that the correct processes were in place. The school no longer uses Halsbury as a result. A poor investigation followed with no outcome by Halsbury. The School Travel Forum (STF) were asked to investigate, but they didn't ask for the school's involvement in the process, or provide a response to the school, there was no associated paperwork provided. Finally the school had to request a response from STF and were advised the matter was closed with no issue - but STF did not provide any information about this review which is equally poor and not reassuring. Halsbury do not adequately monitor the large number of trips and hotels they have in place (having received a large investment) with insufficient auditing in place and a lack of awareness internationally of the relevant laws needed to protect students. If there is an incident their client is the school, and our school received poor communication. Despite their uncaring and poor service I hope they have learnt from the experience, but remain sceptical about their current growth, health and safety, and service to schools. Incidents happen rarely but when they do they often come with tragic consequences and currently Halsbury take little responsibility for incidents. Equally for trips outside of the UK, there will be little recourse to follow up and hold anyone accountable. I am concerned for other children travelling with them at this point. The return response below from Halsbury is again poor. For parents or schools reading this, an allergy champion is not advisable, and doesn't comply with EU law. The allergy champion in addition wasn't always present during mealtimes at all times. This is why, amongst other reasons, this isn't the EU law in place to protect those with allergies. The law is to have a book available listing allergens. Halsbury were unaware of this law or the book and no-one including my son or the school was made aware of it. When you have witnessed this level of reaction, or had any experience or knowledge of it, or spoken to a medical practitioner you will know that this level of reaction is the result of an immediate intake of an allergen. Fortunately my son had medicine from the hospital he took with him for the trip but was still violently sick with hives. Halsbury haven't addressed me until this point and it is the fastest response yet, as the school weren't provided with such swift responses. I have no interest in addressing them at this late stage. Their response and sympathies are not of interest, only to advise others of taking care and raising awareness of the risks involved. Many thanks

Jun 28,2024We've had another activity filled trip planned by Halsbury! This time to Amsterdam where they managed to include a vast number of activities such as the Space Centre, Zoo, Groote Museum, Resistance Museum, Cholocate shops, Anne Franks house and a canal boat tour! Nothing is ever too much for Halsbury and they always go out of their way to make sure that the trips are personalised for our students and that we make the most of all of the time we have for the trip! A big thank you to Guisanna and Laura for another amazing trip!
