School Rugby Tour to Paris

Spectacular Paris is the perfect choice for a school rugby tour designed to inspire your students.

You'll have the opportunity to take on local opposition in a friendly fixture - not only testing your players' skills, but also giving them the chance to experience playing against different tactics and strategies.

And a tour of the iconic Stade de France (the home of French sport) will be a real highlight for your sports-mad group.

Added to that, the opportunity to do some sightseeing in one of the world's most beautiful cities, plus a whole day at Disneyland Paris - this is one tour they won't stop talking about.

Supporting you every step of the way

Creating your perfect sports tour

Launching your tour to parents and students

The next step is to get your tour approved and then get students signed up to it. Our ‘Trip Launch Pack’ will help you with this step. Here you’ll find loads of resources (all free to download) designed to make your life easier at this crucial point in the planning process.

After you’ve booked

Once you’ve booked, your dedicated Itinerary Coordinator will start working on the finer details. They’ll make sure your itinerary makes the most of your time and they’ll take on most of the admin tasks for your tour (making the whole process a lot less stressful for you).

Support while you’re away

While you’re out on tour, we’ll be at the end of the phone 24 hours a day to provide support should you need it. We’ll also send you a final info pack before you go and you’ll be able to access all your tour documents via the free Vamoos app.

After your trip

When you return from your sports tour, we’ll ask you to complete a detailed feedback survey, which helps us continue to improve the service we offer. And we can start planning your next tour too, so you can give parents plenty of time to pay for it (and so it’s less stressful for you).
