    Private tours are the best option for class trips and groups of 20 or more. A private tour allows your group to travel on your own private bus with a dedicated tour director. This option provides itinerary flexibility and gives your group more freedom to customize your tour. Any group with 35 paying participants or more is automatically considered a private group.
  • Consolidated tour
    Consolidated tours allow small groups to be combined with other groups, assuring that your class trip is affordable for everyone. Consolidated groups travel together, sharing a bus and a tour director. The program fee for this option is the same regardless of the number of paying participants on the tour.
