What you say
Great communication, personal service, good connection between us as the college and EST as the provider. It's just so easy to use you guys.
South Essex College
EST were great, I don't think there was anything more they could have done.
South Essex College
EST were excellent throughout. Very friendly, personal service that exceeded all expectations.
St Mary's University
The service from start to finish was excellent, this is the best trip we have organised as a media department. The Warner Brothers tour is particularly enjoyable and informative, the students enjoyed this the most. Accommodation was fantastic and perfectly suits school groups (Sportsman’s Lodge Hotel).
Warren Comprehensive School
Both Lynsey and Sarah are awesome. From Lynsey getting the ball rolling and booking us up, to Sarah organising all the elements of our trip, their flexibility and professionalism are incredible.
South Essex College
It was absolutely amazing - the kids said it was the best week of their lives and loved every minute. I think we were very lucky as the weather was perfect and Harry Potter World was open for a special preview on the weekend that we went!
Walkden High School
We investigated six companies and EST provided by far the best value for money with impressive organisation and support structure. Thank you very much for making this an outstanding trip for every member of our party.
