2000.
Can you tell us a little about your ideal customer?
Teachers with open minds for adventure!
What drove you to work or create this company?
I have been a licensed DC and NYC tour guide/director for 10 years and I have a HUGE passion for a student travel. I am also an organized leader and TD trainer, so becoming the TD Supervisor was a logical next step when I decided to get of the road for awhile.

Knowing that we can provide life changing experiences for students.
What time of year would you consider your busy season?
March-June.
