What trip proposal questions should I be asking?
Are you receiving bids from other companies? Be sure to ask yourself these questions:
- Is my itinerary hour-by-hour or a simple bulleted list of included items?
- How close to the city is my hotel? The company with the lower price may be putting you farther from the city.
- Is the motor coach availability confirmed?
- Am I paying too much? Or does my package price change based on the number of participants and payment method?
- Am I really comparing apples-to-apples? Are the package inclusions the same?
- How long has this company been in business? Scholastica has specialized in school tours since 1980.
