WHAT DOES "FULLY ESCORTED EDUCATIONAL TOURS" MEAN?
Have you ever been on a guided tour or holiday where you arrive at the meeting point filled with excitement because making it to that point was all you had to do, everything from here on had been organized for you and now it’s time to hand over to your guide and simply enjoy the experience.
Now think back to those trips when you were in charge of planning all the activities, meals, accommodation and everyone kept asking you “What are we doing next?” and “I’m hungry, what’s for (breakfast/lunch/dinner)?”. It can be hard to focus on the amazing experience in front of you when you’re busy managing everyone around you.
So back to our original question, what does “Fully Escorted Educational Tours” mean? It means that our amazing Tour Co-ordinators not only book all your flights, coaches, venues, activities, accommodation, meals and yes snacks too! They also accompany you on the tour to escort the group and continue to look after all of the check-ins, paperwork (think flights, activity waivers, special diets, etc), transportation and help sort out any minor issues or dramas that may arise. Our On Tour Co-ordinators also provide all of the commentary throughout the tour, allowing the coach drivers to concentrate on driving the coach safely without the distraction of speaking on the microphone and pointing out places of interest etc.
At EducaTours of Australia we complete all of the arrangements for the tour on behalf of the school, from start to finish. This allows teachers to be free of all the worries associated with the preparation and organization of a tour, both before and during the tour. Allowing teachers to concentrate on their students’ needs, ensuring they get the most out of their experience.
If you’re still struggling to see why having an On Tour Co-ordinator escorting your tour group would be helpful, picture this; You’re halfway through an amazing educational program and Little Sally isn’t feel well. The teacher has to leave the group with Little Sally - Not to worry! Your On Tour Co-ordinator will see that the remainder of the students meet up with another teacher and will even join the group as an extra supervisor with the teachers if required. All of our Tour Co-Ordinators hold current Blue Cards issued under the guidelines of the Queensland Government’s Blue Card Services.
The aim of EducaTours of Australia is to provide tours that are both an enjoyable and education experience for everyone who travels with us and we pride ourselves on our “extraordinary customer service” (the difference between ordinary and extra ordinary is that little bit extra!).
