Later, transfer to your hotel for check-in and your evening meal.

The next day is spent at Alton Towers, Britain’s biggest theme park, where students can experience a full day of rides and attractions. From fun-filled ‘Laughs + Frights’ rides to adrenaline-pumping ‘Thrills’, there’s something for every level of adventure.

Very easy and efficient to use. Staff were excellent, accommodating attentive to the needs of our group tour. Aideen helped us with our tour to Italy and she made the experience easy for me as a group tour leader. She also checked up on me and the group multiple times. Would definitely use again.
