Re: field trips
After traveling with the other large tour companies, we are now
using a person who designs our trip especially for us according
to our curriculum, standards, and my personal 'wish list'. She
pointed us to a very good tour operator,which is owned and run
by a teacher. They work very well together.
Their service is professional and efficient. But it is their
dedication to educational content which really attracted me.
They are creative and put lots of hands-on discoveries,
reenactors, and other, 'goodies' into our trip. I can also
recommend their hotels and restaurants - especially the food.
We get a 24 hour tour guide that meets us at the airport and
stays with us throughout the trip. Our tour guide is a
kid-friendly, fun, walking encyclopedia. She not only gives us
background, but also plays educational games, as well as
teaches us songs and poems that relate to the trip.
Their travel insurance is the best I've seen.
They advertise all-inclusive prices, without nickle and diming
you or raising the prices at the last minute. (Boy! Was I
burnt by two companies charging last minute fees.) As they
say, the only money your students need to bring is for
souvenirs! And there are no marketing plays; they're upfront
and easy to work with.

Good luck!
