Commitment to Student Safety
Educating Adventures is dedicated to providing exciting, educational, and safe trips to schools and students around the world. The safety of every traveller is of great importance to us. We have systems and procedures in place, to ensure the safety of our teachers, students, and tour guides while on-tour, and before departure. It is essential that every individual has the resources, tools, and guidance they need to deal with any situation. Travel can be unpredictable, and there are often unforeseen circumstances. We want every parent, principal, teacher, and student to have confidence that every step is taken to prioritise their safety while away on their school trip. Over years of operation, we have developed a thorough risk assessment and incident management procedure. We offer 24-hour assistance while on tour and you can rest assured - your safety is our top priority.
Financial Security
Educating Adventures protects and has in place bonding and trust accounts to give our clients peace of mind with regards to financial security. Each year we undergo a series of financial reviews with the various associations we are members of.
Memberships & Accreditation
Our planning
The next step is to let know that you would like to work with us and we can advise and help you to make this tour a reality. There is no obligation to travel, this step just allows us to make all necessary enquiries and work with our suppliers on organising initial details for your group while you advertise the trip to your school and collect deposits.
Get it right
This quotation and itinerary is a starting point. We enjoy this stage, spending time with teachers to make changes and ensure each school group gets the best itinerary at a suitable package price.
Confirm the trip
To confirm your trip a non-refundable deposit (normally 15% of the package price) is required. This can be completed ahead of flight release and would be refundable until your flights are booked and agreed. Note: international flights are generally only available to be booked 11 months prior to travel.
Price Guarantee
We know how difficult it is for teachers to ask parents for more money. Once we have issued your second invoice, the price will never change as long as the itinerary does not change and the number of travellers remains the same. So the price of the tour will not increase if flights and/or taxes increase or exchange rate changes. Another reason why EA School Tours makes teachers' lives easier!
