This is because we think of you as our most valuable resource. It is our dedication to showing your students America that makes educational travel possible - so we strive to make taking a tour with Discovery Tours as easy and rewarding as we can.
Your own tour consultant
Your tour consultant works one-on-one with you to plan the ideal trip for your students and takes care of all the logistics including transportation, hotel accommodations and sightseeing. Our tour consultants also have the inside scoop on any new events or museum openings, helping you plan accordingly.
Customer service
We have a thoroughly trained staff dedicated to providing answers to parents and students. They address questions about travel insurance, packing, billing or anything else that comes up so you can spend more time preparing your group for the excitement ahead! Discovery Tours is synonymous with excellent service. From the pre-tour planning through the trip itself, we work closely with your school to ensure the best trip possible. And, we handle all of the details of the trip, even when the unexpected happens. These are just a few reasons to experience the Discovery Tours difference.
Discovery trained tour managers
Your Discovery-trained tour manager is with you 24 hours a day to handle every detail of your trip, from showing you the best sights to keeping your group on schedule and checking you into hotels. Our tour managers have been specially trained to engage students with questions that challenge them to think critically and ensure they are not just listening, but also participating. Many group leaders are so pleased with their tour manager that they often ask for the same one year after year.
