Schools & Colleges: Olympic Field Trips


The Legacy of the London 2012 Olympics



Young people were at the heart of the London Olympic and Paralympic Games with the 2012 logo being
“Inspire a Generation”. Hiring a Blue Badge Tourist Guide to conduct your school or College around the 2012 sites will ensure a successful & inspiring day. Here are some of the benefits of booking a guided tour:



The National Curriculum and Get Set programme
Elements of the Olympic Games and regeneration feature in several syllabi on the National Curriculum, including geography, tourism and sports management. Whether or not your school is registered for the Get Set programme, now is a great time to witness the transformation of the Olympic Park. You’ll see the venues being converted for their legacy use and the Olympic village becoming a new community. Our in-depth knowledge will save you time organizing a field trip and researching the best places to go.



Working with teachers and lecturers
Our professional guides can work with teachers and lecturers to ensure content is appropriately tailored for each group. Tours can incorporate subjects such as legacy, regeneration, sustainability and the economic benefits of the London 2012 Olympics.



Using trained professionals
All Blue Badge Tourist Guides are trained to work with children and students in an entertaining, informative and inclusive way. Some guides hold teaching qualifications and most have degrees. With our in-depth knowledge of the Olympic area you can ensure the success of your day by taking away some stress and hassle that can occur on a visit to the capital city. Our guides provide full route instructions to coach drivers not familiar with East London.



By coach, public transport or on foot
We conduct coach and walking tours, or we can take smaller groups around using the tube and Docklands Light Railway. A trip on the new cable car can be arranged as part of your visit.
