Educational Tours
Inspiring Curiosity Through Travel
For over 45 years, Gerber Tours has partnered with educators across the country to transform learning into an adventure. Our K–12 educational tours turn lessons into experiences, where students walk the same streets they read about in textbooks, explore world-class museums, and engage in hands-on activities that spark curiosity and confidence.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Every Gerber tour is designed to extend classroom learning into the real world. Whether your focus is on history, science, the arts, or cultural connections, our programs encourage students to explore new perspectives and make lasting connections between what they study and the world around them. Each itinerary is carefully curated with educational value in mind, providing opportunities for reflection, discussion, and discovery at every stop.
Safety and Support, Always
Educators and parents can rest assured knowing their students are in good hands. From our first planning conversation to the moment your group returns home, our team manages every detail with care and precision. Each tour includes a dedicated account manager, on-the-ground support, and 24-hour emergency assistance. Plus, our mobile app keeps everyone on-tour informed with real-time updates, itineraries, and information throughout the trip.
Benefits of Traveling with Gerber Tours
Planning & Customization
Every Gerber tour begins with a planning conversation. Our team works closely with you to design an itinerary that reflects your educational, performance, or travel goals. We don’t rely on pre-set packages — each tour is built from the ground up based on what matters most to your group.
You’ll have direct access to our planning team before, during, and after your trip to ensure every detail is thoughtfully considered.
Transportation, Hotels & Daily Logistics
We coordinate all reservations related to transportation, lodging, meals, attractions, and scheduled events. Whether traveling by motor coach, air, or a combination of both, logistics are planned carefully to keep travel days efficient and students comfortable.
Hotel selections prioritize safety, location, and group-friendly accommodations, while daily schedules are designed to balance structure, rest, and exploration.
On-Tour Support & Student Safety
Your group travels with experienced, student-focused Tour Guides who provide structure, assistance, and local insight throughout the program. During travel, a Gerber Tours contact is available 24/7 for any situation that may arise.
Each traveler is covered by accident, illness, and accident-related dental insurance for added protection, giving educators and families peace of mind while away from home.
Mobile App, Registration & Communication Tools
Our on-tour mobile app gives participants access to their full itinerary, travel documents, and real-time updates, all in one place. GPS tracking adds an additional layer of safety and awareness during the tour.
We also provide customized communication materials to help schools share trip details clearly with students, parents, and chaperones.
Registration, Payments & Chaperone Support
Our online registration system allows participants to complete forms, submit deposits, make payments, manage rooming lists, and access trip details with ease. Flexible billing and payment options help make travel more accessible for families.
One free chaperone is included for every 20 students, with additional chaperones easily added to meet your school’s needs.
