“Smithsonian Student Travel is different because of the relationships that they form with their group leaders and the

flexibility that they have. When you are working with these people, they’re not just business-oriented; it is almost as if they become personally vested in each and every tour. They want to make sure that it is perfect not just for the group leader but for

everybody involved; they want to make it easier on group leaders, on parents, on students.”
