Founded in 1982 by Marvin Gerber, a former educator who understood the unique needs of a student tour, Gerber Tours is a company rooted in the belief that enriching students’ lives through educational travel is vital to their learning experiences. At Gerber Tours, we believe that travel should always be safe and well-planned for everyone involved. We know that each group we work with has different needs and we consistently work to provide the highest level of customization. After many years as innovators in the student tour industry, Gerber Tours continues to provide safe, reliable, fun, educational travel programs to thousands of students each year.
Marvin’s son, Judd Gerber, President of Gerber Tours, Inc., served as SYTA president (2004-2005). During his term, Judd helped create and implement SYTA safety and liability requirements for youth travel operators. Members are required to adhere to a code of ethics higher than industry-standard, maintain the proper insurance for customers, vendors, and employees, have sound operating procedures, and provide strict safety measures for each participant.
Today, Gerber Tours stands as one of the largest family owned and operated student travel tour companies in the United States and at the forefront of the industry. Gerber sets the standards for the industry and understands the responsibility of protecting other people’s children while on tour. With every student tour planned with careful consideration, Gerber Tours embodies excellence in delivering learning experiences through travel tours. We are the Student Travel Experts!
