We understand that your core responsibility is to teach our children!

These days, this involves copious hours researching, programming, writing lesson plans, measuring & documenting outcomes, attending staff development days, meetings, and more.

Add to this playground duty, bus lines, detention duty, inter-school sporting commitments, performing arts opportunities, debating, competitions … the list goes on!

And then you still want to create fantastic learning opportunities for your students outside of the school environment.

But no-one’s paying you any extra to spend your evenings & weekends organising a school excursion!

Let us help you! We understand that perhaps you don’t know where to start, and you really don’t have the time – but we do!

We have 13 years experience conducting exceptional excursions for schools from every state and territory in Australia and more than 13,000 students & teachers are participating in our school excursions in 2010.

Our comprehensive procedures ensure that we deliver consistently high quality excursion packages and itineraries.

“THANKYOU!!! For your assistance and support in the organising of our School Excursion to Sydney and Canberra. We had a wonderful time and felt that the itinerary was very well organised.”

Experienced, friendly coach drivers meet your group at your school or airport on the first day. Your coach and driver stay with your group 24 hours a day throughout your excursion. Our drivers conduct and manage your tour, while your teachers relax and enjoy the excursion experience with their students.

“The bus drivers couldn’t have been more helpful especially when we had to get children to the medical centre. Friendly, reliable, helpful.”

Our office team provides any necessary support during your excursion, so that unforeseen incidents (eg flight delays due to weather) create minimal disruption to your itinerary.

When booking with Macquarie Educational Tours, you have confidence that you’re dealing with a licensed Travel Agent and a financial member of the Travel Compensation Fund using NSW & ACT accredited coach companies meeting our high operating standards.

“Bruce, our driver allowed us teachers to relax and enjoy ourselves! He was informed and informative and went out of his way to ensure all students felt at home on his coach. I can’t recommend him highly enough! Annette is AMAZING - super-helpful and organised, and never too busy to answer a question. There is no way an individual teacher could have planned such a well-orchestrated excursion on their own. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

A most professional and responsible organisation. Super organised, responsive & friendly. All details & aspects covered. No surprises or misunderstandings. Coach Captain – Brilliant “a legend” always helpful and a total authority on all aspects of our tour.
