By touring French Canada, students get a glimpse of life in another culture and a chance to learn important skills necessary to compete in an ever-shrinking, global world. Students have the opportunity to witness and appreciate the cultural uniqueness that distinguishes their lives from those of another country.
Montreal is a perfect blend of old world charm, French joie de vivre and a modern style of its own. Students find that much of Montreal’s history has been lovingly preserved. There are graceful stone buildings, stately churches and cobblestone streets. Montreal is said to be the perfect blend of North American modernity with a strong French flavor.

We use Gerber for our senior trip every year and are always satisfied with the tour and tour guides. Mary Werther is a joy to work with. We also LOVE Byron B. in NYC! We love that we can tailor the tour to our needs and find new and interesting things to see/do. We also love the price and the great deals you can get us. Thank you again for another great senior trip!
Morgan, 12th Grade Teacher
For many years, our school district has worked with Gerber Tours to plan and take approximately 90 rising 6th graders to Washington, D.C. I highly recommend Gerber Tours.
Gail, 6th Grade Teacher
Gerber Tours is one of the best companies with which I have ever done business! I take my students on an 8th grade trip to Washington DC each year. They are totally dependable and trustworthy and have always delivered on their promises. I have taken our school to the East Coast with Gerber for 42 years and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend Gerber Tours for all you need in group student travel.
