Why schools choose us

Just back from Iceland with 40 students and 5 staff- it was by far the best trip we’ve been on. Brilliantly organised, seamless execution and a stress free and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Thanks Rayburn and team, we’ll definitely be using you again and returning to Iceland.

What an incredible trip. Our group went to Iceland for the first time and it was fantastic. Rayburn accommodated all our needs and provided top class service throughout the booking process and the trip itself. Hoping to book another trip with them very soon.

Beth Macdonald, Alness Academy - Iceland 2024

Had an amazing school trip to Sicily during half term with Rayburn. This must have been our school’s 12th or 13th Sicily trip, which have all been organised by Rayburn. The organisation from Anna and Silvia was excellent and the students had a fantastic time. Our next trip is already booked, and Anna has already started talking about our itinerary!
