For over 30 years, EA Tours has operated custom designed tours throughout the world, assisting more than 60,000 students, families and independent school groups. Because of its unique understanding of the travel needs of homeschool families and support groups, EA Tours is the official operator of Eli Project global homeschool trips. Question: What is generally included in the trip price and what kinds of hotels are used? Answer: Round trip transportation (airfare or private bus), hotels, most meals, private security, sightseeing and entrance fees, guides and tour management are the basic components included in custom designed educational homeschool tours. Eli Project management insists on using ONLY clean, safe, good quality hotels with interior corridors, and if available, swimming pools. Question: How does Eli Project trip pricing compare to alternative tour prices being offered? Answer: Every Eli Project homeschool tour is custom designed just for you and/or your support group. As a result, it is difficult to compare your private trip to a standard non-exclusive publically listed tour. Question: Do teachers and/or chaperones enjoy travel benefits and rewards? Answer: Yes, accompanying homeschool teachers and chaperones as well as homeschool trip leaders can enjoy the same travel benefits and rewards that traditional school organizers and teachers receive.

Answer: At EA Tours, and now with the Eli Project, it has always been, and will continue to be Your Tour, Your Way. You and an Eli Project specialist will work closely together to tailor a unique travel experience – going anywhere in the world - to your curriculum and lesson plans. Question: Will people other than those in your direct support group or “special invitation only group” be allowed to participate in your private homeschool tour? Answer: No, your education tour or field trip is designed just for you. Unless you invite someone to join your group, no one else will be allowed to participate. Question: Is there a minimum number of “travelers” required in order to offer an Eli Project group tour/program? Answer: Every Eli Project tour group is based on a minimum number of paying travelers. The minimum requirements will vary according to the type of tour being offered and destination of the itinerary. For example, generally speaking, the minimum number of travelers required for a European program is 10 paying travelers.
