Testimonials
Everything I wished for when planning the trip and more.
Mr David Hobden, Royal Tunbridge Wells Scouts
We took a trip to Brussels with 40 Guides and Rangers. We had excellent help and support from the Venture Abroad team!
We used Venture Abroad for a Girlguiding trip to Belgium for a long weekend. Fabulous experience for our first international, personal support all the way with expert guidance and local knowledge provided. Would recommend Venture Abroad for your group trips.
Venture Abroad make the process of taking youth groups abroad very easy. It takes a lot of the stress off you. For us it has also come at a very competitive price. We are now looking to book our third trip through them.
From our initial enquiry through to our last day of travel home from Switzerland Venture abroad has supported us amazingly, to provide an experience of a life time for all our Guides and volunteers! The planning and support received from Amy and Elena, right through to the departure day was so professional, supportive and friendly, building the ultimate programme for us. And finally a massive thank you to Jenny the Venture Abroad tour rep. Jenny just made the trip even amazing, taking the stresses and strains away from myself as group leader, just supporting with the implementation of the programme each day, adding helpful hints, and becoming member 35 of our group. Jenny Thank you!
An excellent tour operator to work with from start to finish. They guide you and exceed your expectations on everything you want from your trip. Their standard programmes are brilliant, but if you want that little bit more and can stretch your budget, they will make it happen! Definitely recommend.
My third recent trip with Venture Abroad who are always there for you both to help you plan and whilst you are away to make the most of your trip. Always a friendly and supportive.
Our Guide unit have just returned from our second international trip with VA. This time we went to Switzerland. I cannot fault any aspect of the trip - right from my initial planning through to our post trip follow up. The organisation and communication was excellent, and they were always happy to answer any question I had - no matter how trivial. Our rep when we were in Switzerland was exceptional. She took so much of the stress away for me. I can highly recommend VA! Thank you for all your help in making our trip such a success 🙂
Our trip to Switzerland was quite simply out of this world - facilitated in resort by the awesome reps, Lydia and Jenny, who were just there to facilitate and ensure we were all safe and well and able to organise our transport.
I have just returned from an amazing holiday in Switzerland with Venture abroad. Our rep Lydia was brilliant! She was very knowledgeable of the area and if she didn’t know, she would find out for us. Would definitely return.
Our Venture Abroad reps Lydia and Jenny were absolutely brilliant whilst we were in Adelboden. They went above and beyond with bookings, little tips, arranging delivery of pizza etc and were so friendly and supportive. You have 2 gems there, they were wonderful!
Lydia was the best rep we could have wished for. She was always on hand when we needed her, was always useful with information. She was friendly and approachable nothing was too much. We would like to thank her for all she done for our Scout Group whilst we was in Switzerland.
The best way to get your Scout Group abroad without aging yourself 20 years! I've organised five trips with them now. Thank you Venture Abroad. We've already booked two more trips with you and I really can't recommend your service highly enough.
Venture Abroad helped our Scouts and Explorers have the trip of a lifetime to Iceland. They gave us confidence every step of the way, from the early planning stage all the way through to the trip itself. The whole event was really smooth and we can't wait to book our next trip.
Finding a cost-effective international camp in 2024 proved a challenge. Venture Abroad came up trumps with the perfect package tailor made to our requirements.
This is now the third time I have used Venture Abroad, we have now visited Kandersteg in 2016 and Iceland in 2023.
Venture Abroad are great to deal with Katie is excellent at her job, nothing is too much trouble and her expert help and advice is much valued. I would never consider an international trip without Venture Abroad.
Amazing chalet in the most beautiful location. Lydia was amazing in her knowledge of the area and very friendly.
Would definitely come back again!!
A brilliant tour operator helping bring Scout Camps alive. Having used Venture Abroad three times I can honestly say how supportive they are in bringing dreams for children alive. Very much recommend using them 🙂
Super happy with service, support and our trip. The VA team were helpful and responsive and we had a bespoke tour that was just what we hoped for. Thank you Katie and all the team for your care, work and help and we look forward to the next trip.
Full of amazing adventure, thank you for making this possible!
