    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.

    Here are the websites: instructours dot com
    leaddiscoveryusa dot com

    Good luck!
