What teachers say
We plan trips for thousands of students every year, and most of our schools come back.
“Anthony was in touch with me nearly daily, in planning our 2019 Senior Trip. The level of commitment and care he took in assisting us was truly admirable. Even when disaster spontaneously struck, Anthony picked up and got busy finding a solution and we were back in business within the hour! Richmond Tours is a company I can recommend with high confidence. If you're lucky enough to work with Anthony you are in for a smooth planning process.”
Craving a Field Day BBQ?
Outside is fun again! Students and teachers enjoy an all-inclusive Field Day BBQ at a New York State Park, or we come to your school. A NYS Connect Kids grant may cover most of the cost.
