I have had the pleasure of working with Explorer Tours with my band over the
years. We have traveled to Orlando to perform in Disney's Magic Music Days
every other year since 1989. What has impressed me the most about working
with them is the attention to detail and their desire to insure the well-being of
each and every person traveling.
I consider myself to be somewhat experienced in taking trips with my band and
each year we try to improve upon what we have previously done. I am never
disappointed in the professionalism and wisdom Explorer Tours offers.
I have traveled in the past with other tour companies and was very disappointed
with the service and lack of concern for our specific needs. I researched other
tour companies and found EXPLORER TOURS to be the best company for my
220 students! I highly recommend them to you and would be happy to speak to
anyone interested in traveling with them. I know I will continue to work with them
in the future and look forward to many great trips.

Thank you for the very organized, educational and enjoyable trip to New York
City! From the outset, I was most impressed at the ease with which the trip went.
I could see Explorer Tours had gone out of their way to make the trip pleasurable
and one that would meet the needs of my students, as well as provide a variety
of quality educational opportunities. Explorer Tours is my travel company!

As the director out of the Three Rivers Community Schools Instrumental Music
Department part of my responsibility is to provide my students with educationally
rewarding and enjoyable travel experiences. Explorer Tours has been helping me
do this since 1993. With the planning and personal service we have received
from Explorer Tours, we have been able to take very successful trips to Cedar
Point, Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Toronto, and Orlando. As a former high
school principal, Reggie Dickson has the experience to plan trips, which are both
educationally rewarding and enjoyable for my students and parents.
Explorer Tours finds interesting and enjoyable activities at every location to keep
my students busy and entertained for the entire duration of the trip. Every detail
is handling the timely and professional manner. With the help of Explorer Tours,
my students have had many safe, enjoyable and educational in rewarding
experiences.

Explorer Tours helped to make our Spring Trip an amazing and memorable
one! I was extremely impressed with the high level of organization and
thought put into every one of our experiences. Explorer Tours was there
for my kids and I to make sure our needs were taken care of every step
of the way. My parents and I would highly recommend Explorer tours to
anyone who wants to have an incredible time with their students and
experience the trip of their dreams!
This was my first time taking students on an overnight trip. After my
experiences with Explorer Tours, I know they are the group I want to
use for the rest of my teaching career.
