Frequently Asked Questions
Our trips include all accommodation and transport; international flights from your home country to the destination, as well as internal flights; full-time support from a tour leader and in-county manager throughout your trip, as well as local guides as required; all sightseeing and entrance fees for attractions, activities and sights as described in your itinerary; all breakfasts & dinners and several lunches. If required, we can include all meals – however, we find students prefer some independence at meal times and will discuss this with you before your trip.
Your trip cost excludes visas (often not required); discretionary school donations & community service project costs. NB: While we find that most schools today prefer to use their travel insurance provider—or have coverage through an internal school policy—Student Educational Experiences can also arrange comprehensive travel insurance for your school at a competitive rate.
Unlike travel companies who outsource their trips to local providers, we operate entirely in-country. We don’t rely on highly paid foreign staff in overseas call centres in the UK or Australia but rather employ local tour leaders to manage your school trip in real-time. By working locally, we reduce our overheads – which means your money goes directly toward your tour, not to overseas administration costs or third-party suppliers. Working locally also benefits your safety, by giving you 24/7 access to on-the-ground expertise, whenever and wherever you need it.
