Your children are in safe hands

We organise school trips so that the children have fun and the teacher can relax.

Organising a school trip on your own means dozens of calls and approvals

We have gathered what worries teachers and parents most - and we have a ready solution for every concern:

You need to clear the trip with the school management and parents

We provide a ready programme and materials for the parents' meeting: a guidance note, a packing list and answers to parents' common questions.

It is hard to find a guide who can hold the attention of 15 children

We work only with guides who specialise in children's groups.

Children get bored on an ordinary excursion

We add a quest, game or activity to every programme - keeping the children engaged is our job.

You worry about how things will be managed on the road

The guide is right there with the group, and a coordinator stays in touch with the leader at every stage of the trip.

Ready-made school routes around Transcarpathia

We adapt each route to the class: years 1-4 - shorter routes and more play; years 5-8 - a balance of history, nature and team activities; years 9-11 - fuller routes and more freedom; and separately, graduation trips and groups from other cities (2-3 day programmes with accommodation and a meet-up from the train or coach).

Children with a guide solving a quest in the old town

We know what children enjoy

Children remember adventures, not dates. So instead of a dry lecture, we offer quests, team games and lively stories.

More than an excursion: quests and activities in every programme

  3. 2 programme options within 48 hours

The children work with people who love working with them

For a school group, simply knowing the history isn't enough. Our guides can talk to children plainly, hold the attention of thirty teenagers and make them fall in love with Transcarpathia from the very first stop. Every guide is vetted and experienced with children's groups in particular.

Людовік Ірина 8 клас, Київ
“Подорож київської групи учнів 8 класу була захоплюючою та яскравою. Продумані всі етапи дороги - яскраві локації, незабутні краєвиди, зупинки у мальовничих містах і селах. Діти побачили старовинні церкви, проїхали поїздом крізь гірські тунелі, насолодилися свіжим гірським повітрям. Багато простору, багато вражень!”

School trips in Transcarpathia: excursions, tours and quests for classes

Transcarpathia is one of the most convenient destinations for school tours: in a day or two a class can take in the castles of Uzhhorod and Mukachevo, mountain scenery, Lake Synevyr and the Shypit waterfall, as well as tackle a quest, try local workshops or take a dip in the thermal pools. That's why excursions for schoolchildren in Transcarpathia work equally well as a one-day trip during the holidays, a multi-day tour with accommodation, or a graduation journey.

The Pro Karpaty travel company organises school trips in Transcarpathia from start to finish: we choose a route to suit the class's age, arrange transport, a guide, meals, accommodation and activities, and prepare documents for the school and materials for the parents' meeting. Planning a trip for your class? Send us an enquiry and we'll suggest several programme options with a costing. We work officially - our founding documents are available on the website.
