Away We Go Tours: Discover the Advantages of Collaborating with a Specialised School Travel Agency

Embarking on a school excursion is just the beginning of a complex planning process. From gauging student interest to securing parental support and managing risk assessments, the tasks can be daunting. This is where a dedicated school travel specialist offers great value.

Established in 2003, Away We Go Tours has been a trusted partner for countless schools and educators, offering comprehensive planning services for primary and secondary school excursions both domestically and internationally. We handle everything, collaborating closely with educators to tailor itineraries to educational objectives, budget, and student needs.

It’s a common misconception that working with a specialist school travel agency is costly but in fact an agency often has established relationships with hotels, transportation providers, and tour operators. This can lead to cost savings through negotiated group rates and discounts, making your school excursion more affordable for students and their families. Away We Go Tours works with all school budgets because they believe cost should never be a prohibitive factor for students to attend an excursion.

All-inclusive packages

Planning an excursion involves a myriad of logistics, from transportation, accommodations, activities, meals, rooming and sourcing quality educational programs. A school travel agency handles all these tasks, saving teachers and school staff a significant amount of time. This allows educators to focus on the educational aspects of the school excursion rather than the administrative details.

Additionally, an agency like Away We Go Tours provides niche inclusions such as school-specific accommodation (meaning no public access), evening entertainment, teacher lounges and single rooms (subject to availability) making the excursions a meaningful experience for everyone.

Safety

Travel agencies can provide risk assessments, CoC’s and guidance on safety measures, school travel insurance options, and other critical aspects to ensure the well-being of students during the excursion.

Away We Go Tours has supportive drivers who know their destination well and provide transport compliant with all safety standards.

24/7 Support

This is an important one- we offer 24/7 support during the excursion. This means there's one constant point of contact available to assist with any issues that may arise during the trip, providing peace of mind to both educators and parents.

Destinations Specialists

School travel agencies have destination specialists who know the area and are familiar with all the ground logistics. Away We Go Tours is a national organisation with destination specialists located across Australia. This is invaluable when you are managing large travel numbers or are trying to maximise your time and learning impact on an excursion.
