Educational Tours for Schools and Universities

School groups are a specialty, so call for details, references and a custom proposal. We'll compete with anyone in the nation on safety, quality, price, and service for you and your students. When school leaders compare apples to apples, they see we offer the best value and the best tours.

"In past years, we've used other area companies claiming to specialize in school trips, as well as big national school tour companies. None compare to the service, quality and value our school and our families got from Prime Tours. Before, we always assumed we were getting good pricing, but then when we switched, we figured out that Prime saved our families a combined $22,000 AND we got a better trip to D.C.! Thank you so much." -- Middle School Principal 

Our high school has been going on a senior educational trip to Washington D.C. and New York City for over twenty years and we have used many different companies, but none made our trip as memorable as Prime Tours. Prime Tours was efficient, flexible, accommodating, and created a sense of family between our students and sponsors and the tour guide.  We would highly recommend Prime Tours to any student group looking for an outstanding trip and a memorable experience." -- High School Principal

A Prime Tour to Washington, D.C. is a special experience. Call us about your group's tour to D.C. Our student tours to Toronto, Chicago, New York, Williamsburg or Europe are great, too.

Five reasons why teachers and principals should consider Prime Tours as they plan their D.C. tours:

1. We can meet personally with teachers or principals anywhere to review your preferences, itinerary and other aspects of your tour. Your D.C. tour is fully customized. We're there for you on board the bus or plane en route to D.C., too, not just when you arrive there.

2. Prime can provide our D.C. Education Kit to make the bus ride to D.C. fun and educational.

3. Prime can provide our Prime D.C. Insider Briefings, private talks to your students from representatives of Congress, the media, embassies, the CIA, military and other organizations that make up D.C. and our federal government. After all, Washington, D.C. is more than monuments and museums. It's the PEOPLE that make our nation great, and you'll meet them when you choose Prime.

4. We'll meet, or usually beat, any other company's price for the same features.

5. Our payment plans are flexible to make your life easier, not ours.

"Thanks a ton for everything! You guys are great!  This is why we work with Prime Tours again and again: the personal touch!” - Dublin, Ohio Middle School Teacher and D.C. leader

"Wow!! That was a great school trip!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will continue to use Prime Tours for all my trips!" - M.T., teacher

“I get contacted by other tour companies about every week, and they have big, fancy brochures and magazines and offers for me, but none can match the quality and personal service we get with Prime Tours. If something we need comes up, they make it happen. They’re always available to us and our trips are fantastic.” –C.C., Lead teacher

One principal sums up the answer best:
"Prime outbid the others and outperformed them, too. Each and every need that we had was met by Prime's people. I truly appreciated the opportunity to work with them on a personal level. Planning the tour face-to-face makes a big difference. Prime went beyond the call of duty. The planning and execution were flawless throughout. It didn't seem like a business. Prime's people took a lot of pride in making it the best possible tour for the kids." 
- Mr. Harley Williams, principal, Bexley (Ohio) Middle School.

"I am amazed by all the amazing things I learned about history on this tour...and amazed that we never learned it in school!"

School Groups are a specialty, so call for details, references and a custom proposal. We'll compete with anyone in the nation on safety, quality, price, and service for you and your students. We take student groups to Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York, Toronto and Western Europe.

Thanks to The Academy of Textiles and Design in Tampa, Fla. for choosing Prime Tours for their excellent Education Adventure to New York City. We appreciate the following comment, too. “You have given us so much kindness, patience and respect during our trip to New York. We loved New York so much. It’s amazing! You are a great, wonderful tour guide, too! I have loved this trip so much and I give all the credit to Prime Tours.”

"The entire trip was wonderful.  Everything was perfect, from the weather, the escorts, the guides, the driver, hotels, food, and the sightseeing!"  Teacher comment on her French Club trip to Canada  

Recent note from a teacher: "Just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful trip to NYC. Your tour guide was tremendous! He worked out each detail with much patience and a sense of humor. The kids really enjoyed him. Thanks for all your help." I thought it was a great two days. I really enjoyed the experience and have told my boss what a great job you did. We will definitely be contacting you in the future. Thanks again for everything."

"Our marine biology students enjoyed the trip to the Florida SeaBase in the Keys so much, and I appreciate all you did to make it special for the students. We're already looking forward to next year's trip." 

Whether it's a tour to D.C., New York or Europe, we will match or beat any other company on price, quality, service and safety.

European Tours: We work only with your group. We do not place you in with other schools in order to fill up a 55-passenger bus. This also means you have total flexibility to set your own schedule and make adjustments as you go along. If you've been on a scheduled tour that's controlled by someone else, you know how frustrating it can be for teachers and students.  

Here's what one teacher had to say: "I’m a quality shopper and I like a quality product. I don’t mind spending quality dollars to get it. If I get what’s advertised by a tour company, I’m very happy. I have to compliment Prime Tours because I got more that what was advertised. All the connections went like clockwork. I’ve been on these affairs before when they didn’t go as well. It’s communications. Prime’s people were very kind to everybody and showed that they actually cared. They really instilled a family atmosphere on the trip. The hotel was great and so were the food, videos, contests and prizes on board the bus. I was sure there would be kinks to work out, but there simply weren’t any. I would definitely tour again with Prime, and I’m going to tell other teachers about their educational trips, too. I would trust them with my children on any class trip."

"Just wanted to say thank you for all the help organizing the Nashville trip.
Your escort was wonderful and everything went extremely well.  I was impressed with every aspect of the trip." - Ms. Cyndi Brewer, Dublin Coffman HS Choral Director.
