      Thank You from the Owner Melissa Loman:

      Thank you for entrusting Student Group Tours with your travel arrangements! I want to personally guarantee you that should a situation arise, we are always committed to refunding as much as we possibly can to our groups and travelers, but it seems we need to emphasize this point as of late. I know the value of a dollar—growing up in a family of 5 with “just enough” funds to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads was our normal. No extra money existed to pay for extracurricular fees or lab fees—my siblings and I had to pay for those out of our own pockets. I am sharing this glimpse into my life to say—I give you my personal word—we will refund every penny we possibly can. 


      Student Group Tours is now celebrating 18 years of service and hosting over 6,000 travelers annually. Our success can be attributed to keeping our promise: Customer Service is our Business!

      Our Student Group Tours trip to Universal Studios Orlando was amazing. The kids had an amazing time and I was thoroughly impressed at how organized everything was. We didn’t have to worry about anything. Our STG representative was very attentive and great with the kids. I would definitely recommend Student Group Tours for any large group trip.
