Yes-Trips — Student and Youth Group Travel
Yes-Trips offers organised, student-focused group travel across Europe. The organisation lists day trips, weekend escapes, festival packages and longer multi-day itineraries that match student budgets. Many Irish destinations are promoted with private coach transport from Dublin, including Kilkenny, Cork and Galway and the Cliffs of Moher. Yes-Trips also partners with ERASMUS Student Network (ESN) chapters for international departures — examples include ESN Brussels to Paris, ESN Zwolle to Paris, and ESN Slovakia trips to the Tatra Mountains. Seasonal and cultural highlights are part of the core programme: Oktoberfest packages, ESNNL Oktoberfest departures, and Christmas market visits to Cologne feature on the calendar.
Trip types and logistics
- Coach day trips: comfortable private coach transport for short excursions from Dublin to Irish heritage sites and coastal highlights.
- Weekend escapes: multi-day coach travel with guided leaders, budget-friendly accommodation and curated itineraries.
- Festival packages: organised group entries, coordinated transfers and local support for events like Oktoberfest.
- International adventures: ESN collaborations for travel to Paris, mountain treks in Slovakia, and multi-country routes connecting Vienna and Munich.
What to expect
Travel descriptions emphasise practical details: private transport, expert local or Yes-Trips leaders, clear itineraries and student pricing. Long-format programmes can include iconic highlights and regional immersion; for example, the Wonders of Peru itinerary spans 15 days with visits to Machu Picchu and Amazon-region activities. Shorter trips focus on cultural landmarks, festive markets, and outdoor scenery such as the Cliffs of Moher.
Booking and preparation tips
- Review the trip summary and schedule for departure points and times.
- Confirm costs, included services and any age or student verification requirements.
- Pack for local conditions — city breaks, mountain hiking or festival venues may require different gear.
- Arrive at the designated Dublin meeting point early for coach departures.
Safety, leaders and support
Yes-Trips promotes guided departures led by experienced local or designated trip leaders who manage group logistics, safety briefings and local recommendations. On coach departures, leaders coordinate boarding, rest stops and arrival logistics so groups travel efficiently between cities and attractions. For festival and event packages, local support teams assist with venue access, meeting points and emergency information. Clear pre-departure communication outlines meeting points, packing advice and contact details for leaders.
Typical inclusions and exclusions
Common inclusions are private coach transport for Irish routes, guided leadership, and a detailed trip summary. Accommodation, meals and entrance fees vary by trip and are specified in each itinerary. Travellers should confirm what is included before booking to plan budgets accurately.
