A jam-packed itinerary with an excellent ‘hop on, hop off’ service for a fulfilling day trip in Ypres. Plenty of room for adjustment in the event of delays, which was particularly useful. Free time for students was enjoyable for them and the chocolate shop trip was well worth it!— Eden Girls' School Waltham Forest
