Your Ypres and Paris journey begins at Dublin Airport, where you’ll meet your GTI Travel representative before flying to Ypres. Upon arrival, visit the In Flanders Field Museum for insights into World War I, followed by a moving evening meal and the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate, honoring fallen soldiers.

The next day includes a visit to the Passchendaele Memorial Museum and the unique Platoon Experience, where students get a taste of life as Australian soldiers. After dinner at a local restaurant, you’ll return to your hotel for the night.

A big thank you from me and all the girls. For all of them it was their first time away on a trip without parents and they had an amazing time.

No drama and everything went like clockwork.

Coach: An excellent driver. He was able to advise us of times etc. The coach itself was perfect.

Hotel: The beds were fantastic and people are still raving about the showers. Having it just beside the stadium is also very handy. Overall the hotel was excellent.

Ourselves and the lads had a great time. Overall, it was great and thankfully, the last two days the weather was lovely. Accommodation was beautiful and even more upgraded than last year, which was fantastic. Coaches and drivers were brilliant and always accommodated any requests.

I will definitely be in touch in the new academic year regarding next year.

Thanks, GTI, as always.

Kind regards

Estelle.

An outstanding few days in Paris. Thanks a million for all of your hard work over the last months (almost a year since first advertising the trip to students).

Now onto the next trip! 🙂
