Each of our tours is customized for your group only. You will not be traveling with any other schools or groups.

Gerber Tours handles every detail of your tour from start to finish including, reservations for ground and/or air transportation, hotels, meals, attractions, and events.

We have simplified Tour Registration and Payments with our Participant Billing Program, saving you the time and effort of collecting and managing payments for your group, while providing you daily updates regarding registrations, cancellations, and payment status changes of each participant. Participants submit their Registration Forms, deposit, and remaining payments directly to us either online or by mail.

The safety and well-being of our travelers is our top priority. We are one of the original and founding members of the Student and Youth Travel Association (SYTA representing the interests of student and youth worldwide and promoting integrity and professionalism among student and youth travel service providers. We 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 proper insurance for customers, vendors and employees, have sound operating procedures, and provide strict safety measures for each participant.

Also, night security is available for every tour.

Here are some other “do it yourself” fundraising ideas we’ve heard about which can be both fun and successful!

• Hold a car wash on a Saturday or Sunday
• Hold a bake sale during the school day
• Collect bottles and cans from around the neighborhood and cash them in
• Collect recipes from parents and compile a recipe book that you sell to raise funds towards your trip.

When students put their own energy into paying for their trip, they feel a great sense of ownership and accomplishment. Good luck!

Parents can participate based on the decision of the Tour Organizer and the needs for chaperones.

Yes! We welcome all participants and will go above and beyond to accommodate the students’ needs. Please contact us directly regarding any special needs.
