Dear Educator
Thank you for taking the time to familiarize yourself with our company and the exciting tours we offer. It has certainly been a challenging time for all of us. As you start to consider student travel again we want to assure you that the safety and health of you and your students is our first priority. We have been in close contact with our suppliers (transportation providers, attractions, hotels, and restaurants) to assess their programs to keep all of us safe and healthy.
What is our plan? The most important plan is to comply with the recommendations of health professionals and government mandates. We will expand opportunities for more local tours – within three hours of the departure point. Outdoor education and recreation will receive a greater emphasis.
It has been more than four decades since One If By Land Tours has been organizing student tours. How does this impact upon your decision regarding a tour company? Our reputation throughout the tour and travel industry is impeccable. We are able to negotiate excellent rates on behalf of the schools we represent. In addition we are awarded great flexibility when it comes to the reservation process.
We are proud of the success of our programs for the schools throughout the nation. Not only do we save the students a considerable amount of money, the quality of the product surpasses what they have experienced in the past.
What makes us different from our competitors? We are always searching for new and unique attractions that will appeal to students. Our tour planners get to know your student population and customize itineraries that will appeal to them. In addition to hiring local guides for sightseeing tours, your tour is accompanied by experienced and trained tour directors. Hotel security and affordable travel insurance plans will become the norm.
I personally welcome the opportunity to discuss any tour plans your school may have. Let us offer a no obligation quote. Have a successful school year.
Yours truly,
Stuart Weisberg, M.S.Ed, CTIS

Our trip to Philadelphia this past Friday, May 31st, was a huge success! Rusty, our tour guide, was excellent and went beyond
expectations and I will definitely request her services in the future! She was kind, patient, knowledgeable, and great with our students! Also, Joe, the bus driver, was great! He made me feel safe and that he would keep all of us safe throughout the drives. I have been on many field trips and many bus drivers blast music, do not communicate with me willingly, and are on their phones in some way or another throughout the drive. Joe did none of this. He was attentive, very professional, patient, and nice the entire time. Our costumed tour guide Judy was also wonderful and very knowledgeable! She was definitely worth having on this trip and the students got a lot out of the experience of the walking tour with her.
I wanted to thank you for an amazing overnight trip. I have to admit from the moment the buses arrived at IS 230, the bus ride and planned events, all the way to our return back home we were on time and had so much to see and do. Everything was beyond our expectations.
Currently we are in Hershey Park. We are having an amazing time. Thank you for your services; well planned. Everything is perfect: the bus, the tickets, and they honored the vouchers in all restaurants. Wow!!!
