FAQs
–
-
When can I book my flight?
Flights can only be booked once the student receives an email stating to do so and should only be booked through STA. If a less expensive flight is found by the student, it must be approved by me prior to booking. If they do not get approval first, they may be asked to cancel and re-book within the allotted times.
-
Why Should I sign up early for the tours?
The advantage to signing up early is to reserve your spot on the tour, we close the tour at 100 students. Signing up early also allows students to get better deals on flights to each city. The closer to the tour dates the higher the flight costs so sign up early and save a lot of money!
-
What is included in the price of the tour?
We pack a lot into each tour! Here’s what you get: accommodations, breakfast & dinners (lunch not included), ground transportation including charter buses, ferries, and other forms of transportation, entrance fees to all museums visited, tickets to all entertainment activities on the tour, full time tour guides, and security services.
-
How early can I book my flight after registering for the tour?
We will alert you once the tour has met the minimum 40 students signed up. We want you to have the best flight and price possible which is why early registration is so important.
-
How many students per room?
We try to make the tours as affordable as possible so we place 4 students in a double bedded room. This means you will share a bed with another student. If you would like to have your own bed you can pay an extra fee.
-
Can I choose who I room with on the tour?
You can alert ETC of room preferences and they will do their best to accommodate those requests.
