Our Difference
Experience the Academy Travel difference, from the first initial contact till the very last day of your tour.
THE QUALITY CHOICE
Established in 2004, Academy Travel has grown to become one of Australia’s leading cultural and educational travel companies.
Australian-owned with a head office in the heritage listed Bank of New South Wales building at 341 George St, Sydney, Academy Travel prides itself on knowing in-depth the needs and requirements of schools from the company’s Directors to retail staff where everyone plays an active role in the creation of outstanding educational touring.
Decades of Experience
With over 20 years’ experience in designing and managing educational tours, we provide support through all stages of the journey.
Our team are dedicated to providing our teachers with personalised and timely communication and service, from the initial customised quote to the final study tour experience. Our goal is provide a smooth and hassle-free process for our teachers and organisers.
A GENUINE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Educators are becoming increasingly mindful of the role that experiential opportunities play in preparing students for the future.
We are dedicated to travel-based education and seek to broaden horizons, inspire critical and creative thinking and encourage students to become global citizens.
TAILORED TO SUIT
YOUR NEEDS
Sometimes a one-sized-approach doesn’t suit all, especially when planning a tour to suit your educational purposes!
Our educational tours can be tailored to highlight a variety of subject areas, including Ancient and Modern History, Drama, Music, Literature, Language and Visual Arts. We have a range of suggested syllabus-based itineraries in specific subject areas that can be used as a starting point to customise your own program, or you can provide us with your “wishlist” from which we will create your personalised tour.
AN all-inclusive package Price
Academy Travel creates a true learning experience in an all-inclusive package price.
We work together with our network of outstanding suppliers across the globe to create a quality and enjoyable tour experience. A fully inclusive package from the start provides transparent pricing for the cost of the tour and allows families to budget appropriately.
EXPERTISE LEADS
THE WAY
We are proud to work with key associations and an unrivalled team of academic experts who provide on-site tour guidance.
However, while our tours are primarily academic, we do recognise that students (and teachers!) want to enjoy sightseeing and shopping, so we do make time for the fun stuff too. The whole experience will be managed by one of our experienced Tour Managers which allows the smooth operation of the tour while accompanying teachers can focus on the pastoral care of the students.
SAFETY & SECURITY WHILE TRAVELLING
The safety and security of our tour groups is our number one priority.
We work closely with tour organisers to assist them in meeting their institution’s risk management requirements. We constantly monitor the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) travel advisories and will take appropriate action in the event of changes to advisory levels. We also have a comprehensive risk management plan that covers possible scenarios that is provided to tour organisers and can be adjusted to their particular needs.
