About this trip

Madrid is a truly cultural city and has developed immensely over the last 10 years. A beautifully elegant city which is easy to explore with many opportunities to soak up the rich culture and history, and not forgetting the nearby Warner Brothers Theme Park for a rewarding day out.

Why choose WST for school trips?

Ilona was great, super-efficient and delightful to communicate with. She worked incredibly quickly to successfully resolve the situation when our flight home was cancelled. Great service. Id book again.
