Planning a group trip can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. When you work with Ed-Ventures, we simplify the process and help you create an unforgettable, fully customized travel experience. Here’s how it works:
1. Discover What Makes Us Different
Ed-Ventures specializes in tailor-made group tours. Every itinerary is built from scratch to reflect your group’s interests—whether it’s cultural, educational, adventurous, or something else entirely. You tell us the kind of experience you want, and we make it happen.
2. Let’s Talk
We start with a consultation to understand your vision: where you want to go, when, with how many people, your budget, and any special themes. The more details you provide, the better we can design a trip that fits your group’s goals.
3. Receive Your Proposal
Next, we craft a personalized proposal that includes a draft itinerary, accommodation and activity suggestions, and a preliminary price. You review and give feedback—it’s a collaborative process, so feel free to suggest changes or ask questions.
4. Refine the Details
Based on your input, we fine-tune the itinerary. This stage usually involves one or two revisions to ensure everything aligns with your expectations. We’re happy to make adjustments until you're confident in the plan.
5. Confirm and Book
When you approve the itinerary, you’ll sign a contract, and we begin securing reservations for hotels, transportation, meals, and activities. After this point, changes may be limited due to vendor policies and non-refundable deposits—so we make sure the plan is right before moving ahead.
6. Payments and Policies
Payment terms, including deposits and cancellation policies, are clearly outlined in the proposal. You decide whether you’ll collect payments from your travelers or prefer Ed-Ventures to handle that on your behalf.
7. Registration Options
We offer both paper and online registration systems—choose the one that best fits your group’s needs. We’ll guide you through each option.
8. Travel Protection
We strongly recommend travel insurance. It can cover medical emergencies, lost luggage, trip delays, cancellations, and more. We’ll explain the available plans so you can choose the right coverage.
9. Marketing Support
You decide how involved you want Ed-Ventures to be. Use your own branding, co-market with us, or sell one of our tours—we’ll support your promotional efforts with flyers, brochures, and even in-person or virtual meetings if desired.
10. Pre-Departure Materials
We’ll provide all travel documents, including detailed itineraries, vouchers, tickets, and emergency contacts. We also offer pre-trip resources like packing lists and cultural tips to ensure your travelers feel well-prepared.
11. Support During the Trip
A key benefit of working with Ed-Ventures is our on-the-ground support. A tour manager or local guide is with your group to keep things running smoothly. From flight delays to medical emergencies, we’re here to help.
12. Post-Trip Wrap-Up
After the tour, we’ll follow up to gather feedback and ensure your experience met expectations. Your insights help us continually improve.
