Our comment from TraTraTravel UK about Citylife UK:
Bringing International Students Together in the UK
Citylife UK has established itself as a vibrant and essential community hub for international students, with a particularly strong presence in cities like Nottingham and Leeds. The agency focuses on creating a "home away from home" atmosphere, helping students from around the world connect, socialize, and explore their new environment. By organizing a wide array of events, from casual get-togethers to full-scale excursions, Citylife ensures that students can make the most of their time abroad, turning a potentially lonely experience into a memorable journey filled with new friendships.
A Diverse Program of Social and Cultural Events
What truly distinguishes Citylife is the variety and social nature of its offerings. The agency is renowned for its energetic bar crawls and international parties, which serve as excellent ice-breakers for new students. Beyond the nightlife, Citylife provides day trips to historical sites and beautiful landscapes across the UK, such as Edinburgh, Stonehenge, and Bath, as well as international destinations like Morocco. These outings are designed not just for sightseeing, but for meeting people from diverse backgrounds, fostering a global community among participants.
- Social Gatherings: Bar crawls, parties, and casual meetups that help students integrate quickly.
- Local Excursions: Guided trips to iconic UK landmarks and hidden gems.
- International Travel: Organized tours to European cities and destinations like Morocco, often featuring professional local guides.
- Cultural Exchange: A platform where students from different countries can share experiences and make lifelong friends.
Affordable Value and Student-Friendly Focus
Understanding the financial constraints of student life, Citylife prioritizes affordability and value. Many of their events are free or very low-cost, while their paid trips are priced to be accessible on a student budget without compromising on quality. Participants frequently highlight the excellent value for money, noting that they can enjoy premium experiences, such as private guided tours and weekend getaways, at a fraction of the typical market price. This approach makes their services highly appealing to Erasmus students and other international learners.
Organized Experiences and Engaging Guides
The agency is generally praised for its organization and attention to detail. Travelers often mention the professionalism and enthusiasm of their tour guides, who are described as knowledgeable and dedicated to ensuring everyone has a good time. The trips are well-structured, allowing for a balance of guided activities and free time, which appeals to those who wish to explore at their own pace. For group leaders and educational partners, such as school camps, Citylife is also recognized for its ability to engage groups and ensure participants are well looked after.

Fantastic experience: awesome!!
Thanks! you too!
Fantastic experience: City Life is by far the coolest student oriented service to come to Nottingham. I've known a couple of the founders from its start and have seen it grow into a wonderful opportunity for international students to get together and make the most out of their time in the UK! Whether it be enjoying the nightlife with fun like minded individuals, going on day trips to see the beautiful sights and historical places the UK has to offer, or just to hang out and get to know others, City Life has something for everyone. Everyone I have met who works for them is dedicated to making sure internationals, like myself, make the most of their time in this wonderful place. The best part is the experiences they offer are affordable on a student budget and a lot of the time free! They help to make Nottingham feel like home for all of us. If your coming to Nottingham to study I highly suggest going to a Meet&Speak, Bar Crawl, or Day Trip Event and you'll see what I mean! These guys are top notch when it comes to giving internationals the experience of a life time!
Dear Robert, thank you very much for this detailed review.We are delighted that the feedback of our events is so great and it confirms that our ideas are popular among international students in Nottingham. We are glad that you had an unforgettable time in Nottingham together with us. It would be great to see you soon again, Robert!Your Citylife Nottingham Team

Dear Roberto, it's great to hear that you loved our events!We're looking forward to welcoming you back in Nottingham soon :)All the best back at home!Citylife Nottingham

Dear Romansh, thanks for your review. We are delighted that you have liked our day trips and that you could meet many other international people. Your Citylife Nottingham Team
Negative experience: Stay away from them ! I was supposed to travel to Edinburgh with them end of April 2023. The trip was cancelled 2-3 days before departure. I attempted to contact them many times over the phone or email, no answer. I finally managed to reach someone on What's app but the answers I was given were very vague and didn't provide any reassurance. They said they would postpone the trip but no exact date yet. This is not acceptable and I want to be reimbursed.
Fantastic experience: Yy
Negative experience: Absolute thieving lowlives! Emailed them for months on end trying to get a refund only to receive responses stating it was pending time and time again, I kept at it and eventually got my money back. My International friends haven't even received an email about refunds and still haven't received any money years after the pandemic began. If you haven't heard anything back from them keep trying and contact your bank and submit a complaint to Trading Standards. Stay away.
Fantastic experience: It's a great community! I've travelled with citylife several times this year and they always offer the best price for a private, guided trip. It's a nice chance to meet people as well, which is pretty important if you're international. Really appealing!
Thank you very much for your review, Luis! We are glad you enjoyed your time spent with us.
Fantastic experience: Been on a couple of trips, even as a non international. Super fun and great value can’t wait for more!
Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed them! Hope the Spanish is coming on fine!
Fantastic experience: It's a unforgettable trip! I not only got good friends here but also enjoyed Morocco. Our tour guide Bobby is a nice and handsome man hhhh and he is vocational about everything in this tour. Thanks to Citylifetrips!
Thank you for your review! We will let Bobby know you enjoyed his trip!
Fantastic experience: I joined Citylife to visit some UK cities. Also visited Europe and Morocco with Simon. Citylife offers very good service in terms of itinerary, hostels local tour guide, and many more!
Thank you very much for your kind words! We are glad you enjoyed joining the Citylife community :)
Fantastic experience: Great community for trips and fun event!! It's also cheap and great way to meet new people!

Fantastic experience: Citylife made my Erasmus here in the UK the best year of my life! All their trips and events are awesome I wish they could expand to Europe to do even more stuff in our home countries too!
Oh thanks Jake, watch this space :-)
Fantastic experience: Citylife Uk is such a really nice way to travel, it is easy and really afordable! I would highly recommend it.
Thank you very much for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: Citylife organises the best international parties and trips for all internationals in the UK!
Negative experience: Do not trust Citylife UK. They have stolen over a thousand dollars from me because they have still not refunded the trips they canceled in March. They initially posted about their plans to refund the money and said it would take time but that they would provide weekly updates. They have not done so. I have not received an email from them since March 30. They have taken the COVID-19 information off their webpage. I think this is a really cruel thing to do to a university student who had to work a lot of hours to pay for those trips. You took countless hours of my life and rendered them worthless. Congratulations. You did not deliver the service you agreed to. The trips did not happen. I understand that COVID-19 was unexpected, but if the trips never happened, where did the money go to? AT LEAST, provide an update if you plan to still return the money but the paperwork is taking a long time. (This is what they told me when I first emailed them) Let me be clear. These were NOT trips that happened but I personally did not attend because of fears of COVID-19. These trips were completely canceled for all participants. The service paid for was NOT received. It’s too much to hope that people like them never work in business again.
Fantastic experience: Citylife UK or, more precisely, Citylife Nottingham was one of the most exceptional experiences I ever made. They made my semester abroad unforgettable. They have an excellent offer of trips and parties. You always get in touch with friendly and interesting people. Thank you for the awesome time!
