Student Group Tours Inc. has provided me and my students quality travel at great rates for several years. I am in my 5th year as a band director and wouldn't even consider using any other agency for my band's traveling needs. Melissa and her team work very hard and will stop at nothing to make sure that my students have an enjoyable experience. All of the employees are very personable and thoroughly enjoy what they are doing. We once booked our own bus and the bus broke down on the way to Disney. Even though it wasn't their problem, SGT managed to find us a bus to use while our other bus was being repaired (since the bus company was planning to leave us stranded at a McDonald's while they fixed the bus). SGT has connections with several hotels, bus companies, and venues and always find us great group rates. In addition, they always take care of band directors and will send out backpacks for your students and anything else you could possibly need. All things considered, this company is awesome! As long as I'm able, I'll never use a different company.

I've been a band director for 27 years and involved with the drum and bugle corps activity for over 30. I've traveled extensively with school groups both as a director, an instructor (serving with other people's bands) and as a parent. I've worked with many different companies over the years and Student Group Tours is without doubt the finest organization of it's kind I've EVER worked with. The individual attention to detail, professional manner with which problems are handled when they arise (and there are VERY few that do because of the attention to detail in advance of your trip) and the enjoyable working relationship with the owner and every field representative I've ever traveled with make this company a 5 star choice for anyone who needs help arranging travel. Melissa Loman and her staff are as good as it gets in this business. They come with my STRONGEST recommendation !!

Student Group Tours is appropriately named, keeping the focus on the students. I have been with Student Group Tours since the beginning of the company and on every trip all employees have treated me and my students with respect. The beginning of the planning is done with diligence and great sincerity in providing the best possible experience for students. Student Group Tours is there in every step of the process to make sure trip is planned for all contingencies. If at any time a situation arises, Student Group Tours and ALL their employees works the situation and creates a fix that often times is better than the original plan. Student Group Tours is comprised of the finest group of individuals under the fine leadership of their leader Melissa Loman that keeps students first and provides great experiences for young people and those experiences will be cherished all of their lives.

I have used Student Group Tours for 3 years now and love their customer service and communication and timely feedback. They go out of their way to provide phone calls and emails when needed about details. Melissa and her team know a ton about the places we go. They even get a representative to travel with us and that is a huge help knowing I'm not having to figure out where to park or tickets or other information! She knows reps all over so she is able to handle our band / choir application process once we submit all the information. I have recommended her to other schools and will continue to do so. She is celebrating her 10th year in the travel business and there is a reason she has lasted this long! You will be pleased with her services.
