STC Expeditions

We had our first expedition to Borneo with STC this summer and wow - what an amazing time we had. Chris and his team have been exceptional throughout the process. From our first enquiry right through to our return, they have been there to answer all our questions. Travelling as a group across multiple schools we haven't been a straight forward 'case' however nothing has been too much of a problem. Whilst on our expedition, the itinerary was varied and interesting and the 'in-country' staff second to none. We can't wait for our next expedition which we are already planning with STC. It is great to be able to discuss such big adventures like these with a team of 'like-minded' people who are so knowledgable but also understand the aims and ethos we are trying to achieve. Thanks to everyone at STC

We have used STC to run a variety of school trips, principally adventure trips and geography trips, to a whole host of locations. This summer we were due to travel to Slovenia with them but due to Covid-19 restrictions the trip was cancelled. The company were incredibly professional, taking care of everything, including communicating with parents of pupils on the trip, insurance and refunds. As a lead teacher I didn't need to do anything at all. We chose STC because of their professionalism but also the way they make everything easy for a teacher running a trip. They even do the risk assessment. Their communication is fantastic, they offer tailor made trips and always consider the needs of the school.

Thank you to the fabulous team at STC and the team on the ground in India. From booking to completion the experience has been absolutely fabulous! We have felt fully supported throughout the process and felt perfectly safe in India thanks to the wonderful guides there. I would definitely use STC for travel again. It is definitely 5 star treatment when compared with other school travel organisations!

if you are planning an educational trip for your class, look no further. Based on my experience with this company, they will guide and assist you all the way from the start til the end of the trip. STC has made a worry free trip for me and my students.They also provide fast customer support and 24HR emergency line in case of emergency during the trip.

Amazing experience! Went on a two week expedition to India with 43 students and STC were incredible every step of the way! Even better, when we were on the ground, our local tour guides were just impeccable. They truly couldn’t do enough! Thank you to JV and the New Dehli team!

What a fantastic team. STC are extremely knowledgeable and supportive throughout the whole trip organising process. We recently when on the Himalayas tour, taking on Annapurna Basecamp and the expertise provided by Megan, Adrian and the team on the ground with us in Nepal was superb. We can't thank you guys enough for giving our students as experience that will last a lifetime.

STC Expeditions were absolutely brilliant all the way through from initial enquiry to providing support when we had returned. They delivered a fantastic trip to Borneo for 24 students and 3 staff which ticked all of our requirements. Clear communication throughout and they provided very thorough risk assessments, a comprehensive EVAC plan and guidance on sustainable tourism, water, kit list etc. STC also provided very detailed sessions on these topics to pupils before we departed and ran a thought-provoking inset for many staff at our school who run school trips. Support whilst in country was excellent as well - we had a very knowledgeable guide and communication from the UK when needed was very efficient. Genuinely interested to take on feedback as well. Will definitely be using them again.

Safely taking 25 young teenagers to Africa shouldn't be this easy but with STC every contingency was covered. Clear guidance with passports, visas, antimalarials, sustainable tourism, water, equipment and the most comprehensive safety management plan I have ever seen ensured the most enjoyable, rewarding, humbling and educational trip was shared by students and teachers alike. Happy to recommend this fantastic company to all and I personally wouldn't look to use anyone else for future trips of this kind. Thanks to all at STC.

We have just returned from a fabulous expedition to Borneo with STC. Staff and students alike loved every aspect of our varied itinerary; from tropical islands to the jungle, from trekking to working in a primary school, everything was well planned, safe and a true adventure. From the initial enquiry to the post-expedition debrief, I cannot speak more highly of STC. The staff are super knowledgeable, really friendly and answered all of my seemingly never ending questions! I can't wait to get planning the next expedition with STC. Hannah Brown (Lead Teacher Newton Abbot College)

Despite not being able to complete our expedition to Borneo with STC, we have been impressed with their professionalism and standards in all our dealings with them. The information provided before and after booking the expedition was comprehensive, and training provided to the pupils was thorough. Since the onset of the pandemic they have maintained clear lines of communication, and have offered generous cancellation terms once it became obvious that the rip could not go ahead. I can thoroughly recommend STC expeditions and hope to complete our travels with them at some point in the future.
