Testimonials
Explore Colleges definitely exceeded expectations on our college tour to Chicago this summer. Kathie was extremely organized and our transitions and activities were executed smoothly. The students enjoyed every second of the trip and it was a nice change of pace to allow someone else to handle all of the logistics. I will definitely be working with Explore Colleges in the future! Thanks again!"

"The Athletic Coast Conference tour was such a positive and informative experience that opened our eyes to the overwhelming college search process. It got us started early so that we never felt rushed when we had to make decisions about future college visits and applying. It gave us the opportunity to see a variety of schools with the main focus on the college search process. Everything else was taken care of from meals/snacks, lodging, security, entertainment, tours, information sessions, and itineraries. It was a beneficial experience for both parents and students. The tours helped us with questions to ask at any institution beyond what could be researched so that a realistic picture of the whole college experience could be obtained." Stephanie Carver

About
For high school or middle school students, these fun and informative visits invariably inspire and empower them to follow their dreams.
But, for school counselors, and program coordinators, creating detailed, day-to-day itineraries for a large group – to unfamiliar cities and towns — can be time-consuming and stressful. A LOT of planning and logistics are involved in order for students (and teachers) to have a successful college tour experience.
Let us do all of the work for you! We’re experts at planning, budgeting and conducting customized tours, so you can relax and watch your students’ dreams take hold…
