Everything an adult should know when joining a student tour.
Welcome aboard! Perhaps you’re joining the tour of your son, daughter, or younger family member. Or, perhaps you’re part of the staff at school. Either way, accompanying adults can be a great asset to the tour provided they model good behaviour for the students. There are some key differences to keep in mind when you’re travelling in a student group, versus when you’re travelling on your own, or with other adults.
Fast-Paced and Action Packed
In general, student tours have less leisure time and more scheduled activities than tours offered to adults. Teachers work with their Prométour Tour Consultants to design an itinerary in-line with their educational curriculum. Therefore, it is crucial to always be punctual whenever the Prométour Tour Director sets up meeting times. This way, students get to experience everything each activity and site has to offer.
Restaurants
Our tours typically include all breakfasts and dinners. Continental breakfasts are usually had at the hotel, however there are occasions where buffet breakfasts or breakfasts at special restaurants are offered. Dinners are authentic to the region, but also accommodate typical adolescent tastes, with a soft drink and dessert included. Additional purchases during dinner such as alcohol or other menu items must be paid for on site at the restaurant. Lunchtime is when participants can venture out into smaller groups according to their culinary preferences. Be sure to ask your Prométour Tour Director for their top-picks!
Hotel Adult Pricing
Students are automatically placed in multiple occupancy, whereas adults are automatically grouped into pairs with the other adults on tour. The less people to a room, the more expensive it is. Adults can opt for a single room supplement if they wish to room alone. If you are an adult who wishes to room with two other people (your spouse and child for example) please contact customer support to ensure your tour cost is adjusted accordingly.
Other Adult Pricing
Our student tours require adults pay supplemental fees to cover the extra cost of their insurance and activity/site fares.
