It’s likely that you know the value of a tour for students…

BUT ….

You may still have some questions…

Below are some Frequently Asked Questions that we have received over the years.

Value of a Tour? Is it worth the expense? 

There are lots of articles and research and evidence purporting the benefits that touring provides. Many speal of the perspective and character building for teens in their formative years. We’ve experienced this first hand and the value of being able to be somewhat independent, experience new cultures, meet new friends and bond with their team mates will pay dividends throughout their lives. If you still aren’t sure here is an academic resource that speaks to some of the benefits.

Can I just organize my own Tour? 

Yes you could. This is a common question, with all the information available on the internet, surely you’d be able to organize your own tour right? We’ve had some people do that but, they often come to us in the end because we’ve built up a trusted network of experts that you may not have Access to. Expert coaching and local knowledge is sometimes something money can’t buy. The other aspect that many busy teachers and volunteer coaches don’t take into account is the extra workload in making individual contact with all the service providers, not to mention a potential lack of local knowledge. Teachers and coaches often report that it’s just easier to work with Total Tours. We know you’ve got a lot on your plate. In fact Phil Robson was a teacher for 20 years and understands the challenges you face. Summed up, what people say they like most about Total Tours is: EXPERT COACHING AND ATHLETES and ITS EASY.
