Have you ever wanted to take your curriculum outside of the classroom? Educational travel can provide you and your students with a unique learning experience with a hands-on approach to really understand the different cultures, history, food, language and more that makes our world so diverse.
Imagine taking your classroom overseas to Italy where you can go inside and take in the wonder of the ancient Colosseum of Rome, embark on a guided tour of St. Mark’s Square, St. Peter’s Basilica, and the Vatican. Art enthusiasts can visit the Louvre Museum which is home to the Mona Lisa, the most iconic painting by Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. A trip to Italy would not be complete without tasting authentic Italian cuisine in the trendy Trastevere neighborhood including homemade gelato for dessert.
Looking to dive into a more tropical climate? Costa Rica provides a great option for those groups seeking a colorful adventure. Known as the “Jewel of Central America”, Costa Rica is a paradise filled with nature’s natural wonders! Outdoor enthusiasts will love Tortuguero National Park, home to the most important green turtle nesting beach in the Western Hemisphere. No cars allowed so board your boat and journey down the river thru the canals and learn about the ecosystem while also encountering many different species such as aquatic birds, amphibians and a variety of flowers and fruits. If you are looking for more of a thrill, the city of Sarapiqui offers zip lining and white-water rafting tours. Sarapiqui is a tropical rain forest and is home to sloths, monkeys, tree frogs, exotic birds and plants so have your camera ready!

“To all my music educator friends….you would be crazy not to use Livy with UR Tours for any trips you might be planning! This past weekend was the third time I used her and she is the best. Thanks for taking care of us the weekend Livy. We had a blast!”
“Teacher friends, or anyone who wants to plan a trip for a group I cannot express how amazing Livy and UR Tours and Events is to work with to create a wonderful experience. I’ve worked with Livy for twelve years including five performance trips to Walt Disney World and two workshop/Broadway show trips to New York City. Simply THE BEST!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better trip. I was nervous about traveling as a chaperone with 30+ high schoolers, as I have been on badly organized trips, but this was amazing! Enough information was handed out before hand and, as unexpected things came up (Covid-19 national crisis) . . . . Thanks for a great trip!”
“I wouldn’t recommend any other company to plan our trips. They are well organized and always have my student’s best interest in mind. The trips I have taken with them (Hawaii, California and Florida) have always run smoothly. I can’t recommend them enough.”
