School Holidays
School Holiday Ideas for Teachers and Families
Whether you are a teacher or a family looking for something to do in the school holidays, we have some suggestions to whet your appetite to travel to Sri Lanka, Indochina or the Far East.
If you work in education and feel the lure to escape to pastures new, then Southeast Asia and the Far East are for you. You can forget the pressures of work on a semi-escorted tour of Classic Japan, visiting all the must-see sights. Maybe you would prefer to discover Sri Lanka, uncovering the main highlights before spending a relaxing few days on the beach, or perhaps the thought of eating Peking Duck, and delicious dumplings in China is too much to resist.
For parents who want to take their family on an adventure of a lifetime following in the footsteps of the ancients on a trip along the Great Wall of China, spotting leopards in Sri Lanka, experiencing a traditional tea ceremony in Japan, or riding on a Vietnamese ox cart, it is not as difficult to arrange as you may think.
Links Travel & Tours have a selection of small group tours and tailor-made journeys to keep everyone entertained, no matter what their age.
For children of all ages!
