Dear Warren, Organising a trip from our point of view can be fairly demanding, and it helped having someone like Chloe offeringsupport, prompt (and cheerful) assistance when exploring and firming things up within tight timescales. Based on the service offered,I would have no hesitation using ISIS again for our annual field trips, and will recommend you to my colleagues / contacts.University of Westminster – Cyprus

Hi, our trip was a real success and Crystal has been amazingly helpful. I will recommend you to my colleagues as a great travel agency.Cambridge University - Beijing

Jamie, I can’t thank you enough for all your help with the tour. I especially appreciate the many calls you made to make sure my groupwas ok. Thank you so so much. Our meals were on time and excellent. The coaches arrived on time and the drivers were veryconsiderate. The guides were great, friendly and very helpful.St John’s College – European Tour

Hi Warren, Thank you very much for absorbing the cost of the change of names last minute. I was really grateful as our kitty for thestudents was rather small. The students had a superb trip and I found Jamie very helpful.Bridgend College – New York

We had a wonderful time. The hotel was fab. Weather not very good to start off with but lots of fun with the floods for the students. Weare planning another trip to Tuscany this time, flying to Pisa and staying in Florence.City of Bath College - Venice

Your service was excellent. It was especially nice to be greeted at the hotel. Chloe was lovely and very helpful. We will use ISIS again.

Cleveland College – London

BOOK A LECTURE ROOM AT THE OLYMPIC PARK

Do you need a lecture room during your trip? ISIS can arrange a

classroom with superb views of the Olympics 2012 site.

The space can accommodate up to 30 students and staff and is generally

available between 4-6pm (mon-fri). There is also a café on site.

Contact ISIS for details and prices.

THE OLYMPICS 2012 SITE TOUR

A typical tour lasts approximately 3 hours and includes a guided coach

tour around the perimeter of the Olympic park. Please note there is no

p ublic access to the interior of the park, which is still a hard hat area. As

part of the tour you will be able to take a short walk just inside the

Olympic Park, on a raised walkway known as the ‘Greenway’ which

affords great views.

Depending on the interest of each group the tour can be tailor made to

focus on sustainability and green issues, the “legacy”, sports

management, Olympic history and Construction/Architecture. For those

who have a whole day in which to see East London we recommend a

morning East London and Olympic Park tour combined with an

afternoon Olympic Greenwich tour.

This is an exciting time because the “big build” is now almost complete. The striking 80,000 seat Olympic stadium, the stingray shaped roof of the

Aquatics Centre and the amazing Velodrome are unforgettable and inspiring sights. Explore the Olympic Park’s development, investigate issues

surrounding the regeneration process and sustainability. Assess the re-branding of London’s poorest region and discuss the importance of planning

the “legacy” beyond 2012.

Due to it's favourable geographical position, Prague is the political, cultural,

and business centre of the Czech Republic and a major destination in

Europe. It's pro-market economy and stable demographic government has

attracted a wealth of international companies, many of which are receptive

to visits from Business Studies groups. On the 4th of November 1956 the Hungarian Revolution was quashed by Soviet

Forces. Over thirty years later its people invoked the spirit of “56” which

ultimately led to the fall of Communism. Statue Park is emblematic of this phase

of Budapest's tumultuous political history. There are also more than 100

museums in which to explore Budapest’s rich and complex past.
