Questions To Ask a Student Tour Company in 2023
Once you’ve decided on an educational destination for your next student tour, it’s time to ask yourself a few questions when considering which student tour company to go with. Below, we’re breaking down some of the best questions to ask potential student tour companies before your trip.
Will my students be safe?
The first and most important question is about safety. How can you be sure your students are in safe hands during their educational tour? Be sure to ask about their security guards and any other safety measures that are put in
What COVID-19 precautions are taken?
Ever since March 2020, there is another safety consideration to think about:
COVID-19. Does the tour company take every measure possible to keep students safe? Check their website for any information about how they handle COVID-19, and be sure to ask questions about any precautions they take when you call. For example, the Son Tours website mentions it was a finalist for the COVID-19 Safety Award from the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce.
How flexible is the itinerary in case of weather or other events?
Weather conditions and other factors can be unpredictable, and travel plans sometimes have to change on a dime. It’s important for your tour group to be led by tour guides with local knowledge of the area who can make accommodations in cases of inclement weather or places being unexpectedly closed. Son Tours only works with knowledgeable and accredited tour guides
that are licensed for the particular area where the group is traveling. This gives them the ability to change and customize your tour as needed due to any unforeseen circumstances.
What is the pricing like?
How is the company’s reputation?
When researching a company’s reputation, be sure to check their rating with the Better Business Bureau, in addition to any reviews on Google, Yelp, or other review aggregate websites. Son Tours has a 97% client retention rate, an A+ rating on the Better Business Bureau, and a nearly perfect 5 star-rating on Google Reviews. In addition, Son Tours is a veteran-owned company who
wants to make sure you really know who you are working with. Someone from the senior staff will be happy to personally come and meet your group and tell you about the tour no matter what part of the country you are in. “That’s just who we are,” says John.
