EDT works with teachers to build an educational student travel experience that supports your teaching agenda.

Check out the various types of student travel programs and begin planning your dream trip today!
There are several benefits to planning early for your educational tour, one of the most important being affordability. Oftentimes, hotels and activities offer discounted rates to groups that book well in advance of their selected trip dates; traveling during low-peak periods can also lower package pricing for groups. Beyond actual pricing, families take advantage of a longer payment schedule with lower monthly payments.
EDT will work with you to help clarify and understand your goals, and then create a matching itinerary to enrich those lessons learned in the classroom.
Our Informative, Interactive, and Fun Educational Tours
Educational Discovery Tours offers a variety of specially designed student tours that focus on Education, Performing Arts, and Special Events. Our most popular trips include:
California History Tours: Designed specifically so 4th grade teachers can bring classroom history of California to life for their students, student travel groups are given the opportunity to learn through highly interactive experiences about the most important figures, institutions, and time periods of the Golden State. Students who participate in the California History Tours will visit the Sacramento State Capitol Building and experience the government in action, learn about the impacts of the Transcontinental Railroad and how it connected the nation, travel back in time to the Gold Rush, and pan for their own gold with EDT’s certified geologist!
