Fantastic Tours & Travel remains the leader in the student tour and travel industry.  Our goal, since the founding of our agency in 1984, has been to keep both you and your students on the threshold of information and knowledge.  Whatever your classroom program program, Fantastic Tours will customize a tour to meet your academic objectives.
Fantastic Tours realizes the personal time, effort and expense the trip moderator incurs before and during the class outing.  A stipend is provided to cover incidental expenses.  Discuss the details with your trip specialist.
Chaperones travel free!  One complimentary chaperone for each ten paid students is provided.  However, if your administration requires a higher ratio we can accommodate those needs.
If your community is financially challenged, talk to us about off-season travel.  It can be very cost effective without compromising the quality of the tour.  When you call, see if your destination is offering a 'seasonal special'.
Insurance is available for many aspects that necessitate unexpected cancellation of a trip by a group or individual.  Please discuss details with your trip specialist.
No group is too large or too small - all size groups are accommodated.  We'll help you to decide the mode of transportation that's the most convenient and meets your group's financial needs.
Your trip specialist will provide a prompt, no obligation price quote.
Convenient payments are arranged; $100 upon signing of the trip agreement with final payment 45 days prior to departure.  Additional deposits may apply based on attraction selection. 
There are significant differences between a local travel agency that specializes in individual travel and a tour agency that specializes in group travel.  By reading the information in our brochure you'll find that there are many considerations and details that factor into the success of a class trip, many of which can be overlooked by an inexperienced agency.
Please request and review our national reference list.  We are members in good standing with the Student Youth Travel Association, International Airlines Travel Agent Network, and the Airline Reporting Commission.
Mode of transportation differs for groups depending on the distance between the hometown and city of destination.  We are representatives of all airlines, Amtrak and motorcoach carriers across the United States.

     Last year we proudly celebrated our 25th year in the field of educational travel.  Our enthusiasm and drive is as strong as it was when we first opened our doors in 1984.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 




 
Multi Day Tour rates can be as little as $80 per day with transportation, hotel, breakfast and dinner daily all included.  However, depending on your selections and preferences can be as high as $150 daily and in some cases even higher.  You determine the price; each trip moderator has different academic objectives and budgetary needs to meet.  When you call, one of our trip specialists will discuss all aspects of your tour to ensure you have the best class trip to meet your needs.  Some considerations will be:
Will you be traveling via deluxe VCR equipped motorcoach or airline?
Will you choose a convenient city location or select a more cost effective one in the outer perimeters?  Would you prefer rooms accommodating 4 students or suites accommodating 6?
Number of Meals Daily, Continental Breakfast or Full American?
Can vary greatly in any city of travel, from the admission free Smithsonian Museums in Washington D.C. to an exciting matinee performance in New York City.  Discuss your itinerary and curriculum objectives with our tour specialist.
Depending on your selection, it may affect the rate.  For example, if your destination is New York, there are several options; will you choose the Broadway tickets ranging from $25 - $100 per ticket or enjoy the Empire State Building Observation Deck for $6 a person?  Or you could simply take the evening to unwind by the pool in the hotel for free.
We will recommend the attractions and cities where utilizing a local guide will enhance the students knowledge and history of the host city in addition to aiding the driver with the most direct routes to avoid hours of delays for out of town drivers.
 
These are important decisions in determining the right tour for your group.  Our specialists are qualified and well versed in all aspects of class trips.  We will work with you in deciding and customizing an itinerary with a price that meets your specific needs.  This will ensure that you maximize your visit and that each student, chaperone and moderator returns home with memories of a great class trip.
