Children's and youth groups
Visiting ancient cities, the jungle, the birthplace of the Buddha, the hill town of Tansen, Pokhara and fun activities - all in just two weeks!
Organised by BBC presenter Steve Carver, Angel Holidays also specialises in tours specifically for children and young adults. These wonderful programmes are designed to promote the learning of new cultures through a mixture of fun, physical activity and cultural exchange - all in a safe and responsible environment. As Angel Holidays is ethical each tour has a charitable element too. Please see our example below.
Programmes can also be tailor-made for your group: please contact us to discuss your needs. All tours are professionally managed, and your association's mentors, teachers or supervisors are actively encouraged to take part in the trip, as part of our team. We typically prefer a ratio of one tutor/teacher per five children.
International flights from the UK are not included but we can help you find these - typically flight prices start at around £450.
