Introducing Field Trip

Travelling as a family? We believe that whilst education may begin in the classroom, it doesn’t end there. From URL to IRL, it’s in the world that younger generations put their lessons to the test – discovering the inspiration for their futures and laying the foundations for their lives ahead.

Field Trip is a brand-new curriculum of educational encounters around the world. Designed for ages 12 and over (though they can also work for younger ages, too), the classes offer incomparable educational opportunities and behind-the-scenes access, all of it led by a team of experts and insiders. These experiences can be included as part of your wider Black Tomato trip, but we can also build your journey entirely around them.
