Industry Leaders

We've been a leader in educational travel for the past 55 years—taking students of all ages around the globe and into some of the most important learning adventures of their lives. Our teachers and parents give us consistently high ratings for our proven safety process and policies. And we back our travellers with the best insurance coverage in the business.

Strength in numbers

With more than 55 years of experience, we've taken over 10 million students on educational trips across the globe.

We've got connections

We have long-standing relationships with the top vendors, venues, and transportation providers, as well as partnerships with global businesses in 100+ countries around the world.

We've got it sorted

Teachers (and parents) give us rave reviews for our superior trip planning. We handle every detail for you which means all you need to do is focus on having fun! Trip promotion, travel, meals, activities, tickets...you name it, our team of experts has it sorted.

World-class Service

We place a top priority on personal attention and thoughtful service as a key part of our partnership with you. That means we give you a dedicated team to handle all your trip details, from start to finish. It also means we make your trip planning easy with our proven strategies and support for signing up students and getting your trip off the ground. The main thing you have to do is relax and enjoy the ride!

A world of possibilities

Our programs have spanned more than 100 countries on 6 continents, and we're always opening new markets for adventurous travellers who want to experience new parts of the world. We believe this kind of global reach makes our capabilities as active as your imagination! Where can we take you today?

Tailor-made travels

We can customise a travel itinerary to your specific curriculum, your school's requirements, and your budget. And of course, we can design a program to complement your students year level - from primary up to secondary.

Promotional tools

Getting a group to travel is as easy as 1-2-3 with our promotional tools. From raising general awareness to getting students and parents on board, we've created templates to assist teachers through all stages of trip planning from the beginning through to the end.

Educational Excellence

We believe it's not just the exposure to new places that changes students' lives, but also the kind of experience they have during that exposure. That's why we work with you to build program content that meets your travel/learning goals. We also embed interactive learning activities into each tour, so students genuinely connect with their experiences and retain them.

A focus on education

We educate students through authentic travel encounters beyond the classroom. Our programs are designed for all ages, interests and levels of education. We focus on education, and closely align our trips to curriculum units. Our powerful learning tools further enable us to bring learning to life.

A different way of learning

Our approach gets students actively involved in what they're seeing and doing. This active engagement between students, the places they visit, and their teachers allows students to absorb more and build their knowledge and social skills.

A chance to soak it all in

We believe real immersion in a culture makes for a more authentic experience. We want you to be at the center of the action and experience life like the natives. We put you in centrally located hotels and visit local restaurants - this means more local flavour and more hours to enjoy it!
