Excellent organising, brilliant trip. Jonny was always a very friendly and helpful contact. Questions via Skype, email or face-to-face were answered quickly which meant I could give information out to the students and their parents quickly too. He was very approachable. A real pleasure to work with.
As a Geography trip we could give first-hand experience of tectonic activity, coastal processes, and alternative tourism; all relevant to the GCSE course the pupils are studying.
Hostel was excellent; clean, decent food and all dietary requirements catered for, and the rooming situation was great so all pupils were with their friends. Having male students/teachers on one floor and females the other also helped. Food was excellent. Range of items at both breakfast and dinner catered for all, including those with dietary requirements.
I think Halldór’s best attribute was the recognition that 15 and 16 year old students don’t want to listen to lots of information so when he spoke it was relevant, clear, informative with humour too.
