WHO ARE WE?

Galloway School Tours have been operating tours across the UK and into Europe for over 60 years. While many schools choose to travel with us year after year, we are also proud to work with organisations, cadet groups and adult history groups, delivering expertly planned, engaging and reliable travel experiences for groups of all ages.

We understand how important it is to have absolute confidence when organising a group tour. Whether travelling with students, cadets or adult groups with a shared interest in history and culture, you can be assured that every tour we deliver is of the highest quality, carefully planned and professionally managed.

The team at Galloway have amassed over 100 years of combined travel experience, with an average length of service of 10 years. This depth of knowledge allows us to create well-structured, educational and meaningful itineraries, particularly for cadet groups and adult history groups seeking visits with historical relevance and guided insight. Your dedicated Tour Co-ordinator will be on hand to guide you through every step of the process, from initial planning through to your return home.

We regularly work with carefully selected partner coach operators across the UK, mainly for practical reasons such as fuel efficiency and driver hours’ regulations. These include Bibby’s of Ingleton, Johnsons Coach Travel and Holmeswood. Each partner has been chosen to meet the same high standards of safety, reliability and customer service that Galloway is known for.

Coach travel is one of the safest forms of transport available. Whether travelling on one of our own vehicles or those of a trusted partner, you can be confident of the highest standard of coach transportation in the UK. All tour coaches are fitted with air suspension, air conditioning and a PA system, with some offering additional facilities such as toilets and onboard refreshments. Please advise of any specific requirements at the time of enquiry.
