OPINIONS OF PREVIOUS GROUPS
 

This tour will not take place during 2011. The June tour will take place. We plan a tour to Thailand and Singapore for 2011

The popularity of the April tour is rapidly growing. It may soon surpass the popularity of the June tour. We now stay longer at some places and eliminate traveling between others. As this group is smaller, the learning opportunity is far greater.

The weather was fantastic during the previous april tours. It is not too hot in Italy and the conditions for skiing in Switzerland are great.

On a Temba Tour we have a relaxed attitude. It just doesn’t make any sense to hop from one city to the next without taking enough time to experience each place. We therefore stay in each place for at least two nights. In the bigger cities we stay three nights. If you only count the countries you visit, you could probably fit more into the same amount of time, but this tour is about the experience.

You will enjoy better meals than previous groups.  Your bag will be in the support vehicle most of the time which means you won't have to carry it everywhere.

The group consists of a maximum of 30 people, which makes the tour much more personal. We will make use of the trains that make the April tour so popular. These trains are exceedingly fast and very comfortable. Even though we have seats and not beds on the train, it is often happens that you have a couple of seats to yourself to stretch out and catch up on some much needed sleep. The trains can travel at speeds in excess of 300 km per hour which means we spend most of our time at our specific destinations and not traveling or in traffic.

We set a delicate balance between free time and tourist attractions. You see everything of importance, but not more than you can take in. We specifically choose attractions that are suitable for your age. We will not treat you like a child and the whole day is not filled with endless facts which are of no interest to you. We know that the best way to learn is from experience. We therefore give you a lot of free time to experience Europe on your own.

On this tour there is more than enough time for shopping. You have to remember that what you buy, you have to carry. Your baggage may not be heavier than 13kg when we leave and no more than 19kg when we return.

This is a youth tour – specifically for people between 15 and 18 years of age.   You are assured of a great time and will find the sights and attractions of Europe breathtaking.  This is why we choose to overnight in the cities and not on the trains.

The value of the tour lies in allowing the teens to experience being part of the global village thereby giving them the confidence to strive for success. This will not be achieved if we rush from one place to the next and spend hours in long queues.We reach our educational goals by giving them the opportunity to experience cities like Paris , London and Rome on their own. 

The accommodation is always as central as possible.  Our meals will be provided for us where we stay (or nearby).  It is unnecessary for you to supply your own cutlery (as on the June tour).

Our passion for education has been internationally recognised and is structured so that you will not even realize you are learning. You are assured of enjoying the tour. We in turn, are determined to make this tour one of the best experiences of your life.
