TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Q:
"What are the benefits of taking an educational tour?"
A:
Visiting the historical sites prominent in our tour
itineraries provides the history which brings teachers’
curriculum to life. Traveling exposes students to a
myriad of educational and social experiences and
opportunities.
Q:
"I have never initiated a student tour before, what
must I have in mind to get started?"
A:
Whether your plans are sketchy or specific, you may call
us and receive information, sample itineraries, or a
tour package quote at no cost or obligation whatsoever.
It takes time to evaluate the best way to conduct a
group tour, so our intent is to be helpful to you during
the process. We are interested in building long term
relationships. For service or just information, we
welcome your inquiries.
Q:
"Why use Family Excursions...Why not just do my own
planning?"
A:
Family Excursions, established in 1986, is now an
established presence in the educational tour market.
While planning our itineraries, we work closely with the
leadership at each school to ensure that their specific
educational needs are taken into consideration.
Utilizing our resources and the expertise of our highly
experienced and friendly staff can only mean less hassle
for you. Our staff will handle all the details, both
large and small, therefore reducing the stress of
coordinating a trip of this nature.
Q:
"How can Family Excursions assist me in presenting the
idea of an educational student tour to the school's
administration and the student's parents?"
A:
Our reputation precedes us and speaks admirably of our
professionalism in conducting student tours. Safety is
our #1 concern. The tour guide, chosen specifically with
your school's "personality" in mind, accompanies your
group from your pick up location (your school or local
airport) and stays with your group 24 hours a day. Local
office staff is on call 24 hours a day, as well, to
allow parents to reach their children in emergency
situations. All promotional materials are provided and,
at your request, a Family Excursions representative will
attend your pre-trip meeting to offer an overview of
your chosen itinerary as well as the many benefits
gained from traveling to our nation's historic sites.
Q:
“Why are Family Excursions trips so successful?"
A:
Because we care! We, as a company, feel it is important to
become personal with each school group. Our trips are
fine tuned to your school's specific needs. Our guides
are well-trained and chosen to compliment your school.
Longstanding business relationships with our vendors and
at each venue mean that you are always expected and will
be treated to the highest standard of service and
hospitality. We have provided reference information for
your convenience. We hope you will call our office to
discuss your educational tour needs. We look forward to
speaking with you.
Q:
“Do you offer Travel Insurance?”
A:
Yes we do. This is an optional insurance coverage policy
that is available to you through NTA (National Tour
Association). We encourage you to look over the policy
and clarifications. You may download a copy of the
policy by clicking on the link below.
