The Netherlands — Walibi, Giethoorn & Zwolle with your class
The contrast between the three experiences is part of what makes the programme work: the high-energy theme park bonds the group on Day 1; the silence of Giethoorn’s waterways and thatched farmhouses offers a completely different face of the Netherlands on Day 2; and Zwolle’s relaxed, student-friendly city centre rounds off the week with heritage and free exploration time.
On the Move is the officially accredited school trips provider for the European Schools in Belgium — every trip has a dedicated project manager with 24/7 emergency support.
Trip highlights
One of the Benelux's leading theme parks, with rides and attractions suited to secondary school groups — a high-energy start that immediately bonds the class
Exploring the famously car-free canal village by boat — one of the most distinctive landscapes in Northern Europe, with thatched farmhouses and silent waterways
A well-preserved Hanseatic city centre with the Sassenpoort gate, the old harbour, markets, and an easy, student-friendly pace — a city few tourists reach
