Teacher Inspection Trips

Inspection visits allow you to experience a destination before you travel with your school group.

We run annual trips for teachers to familiarise themselves with the highlights of their proposed itinerary, with the assistance and support of our staff and tour leaders.

Scheduled Teacher Inspection Visits

Our next departure to South and West Iceland is in May 2026.

This trip showcases our most popular school itineraries. Expect to see breath-taking waterfalls, majestic volcanoes, erupting geysers and striking black sand beaches.

Independent Teacher Inspection Visits

If a suitable departure is not scheduled for your destination, we can provide two nights’ accommodation for an independent inspection visit. The stay will be at the proposed accommodation for your school group, or similar, subject to availability.

Accommodation

If you have confirmed a school group of over ten paying passengers, we will offer two nights complimentary accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis, for up to two passengers. If you have not confirmed your school group with us, there is a minimum charge of £80 per person per night. If you subsequently pay a deposit on a group trip to the inspected destination with at least ten paying passengers within two years of the visit, you will be refunded.

Flights, activities, and transport in your destination

As a group travel specialist, Discover the World Education offers a diverse range of options for group travel at excellent value. However, these savings may not be available to us when booking independent inspection visits for our clients. We therefore encourage you independently arrange flights and other arrangements such as entry fees to exhibitions and activities. If services are arranged by Discover the World Education, supplementary to the aforementioned two nights’ accommodation, a non-refundable £50 per person admin fee will be charged.
