WE UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE A CHOICE TO MAKE.
HERE ARE SOME REASONS TO CHOOSE KEATING.

Our Coaches
Safety comes first which is why we never compromise the quality of the coach we reserve for your trip. We have researched all the companies across Ontario and chosen Coach Canada and Great Canadian to transport your students. Both companies have exceptionally high standards and some of the most experienced drivers. Their coaches are modern, clean and well maintained.

Keating Tours is proud to be a preferred client of Coach Canada and the exclusive educational tour company to work with Great Canadian. As such we are guaranteed top-of-the-line equipment.

Our Meals
All of our restaurants are carefully selected and constantly monitored to ensure students, teachers and parents enjoy their meals while they are away from home.

Teachers/Chaperones are seated before the students and may enjoy a glass of wine with dinner. We want our teachers to relax and enjoy their meals.

Our Accommodations
We are proud to be the exclusive student tour company at some of the finer accommodations in Ottawa, and Quebec. We work closely with all of our accommodations to ensure that groups are kept together and everyone is well looked after. Extra pillows? No problem!

Our Staff/Experience
For 45 years Keating Tours has been providing schools with exceptional educational tours. We are proud to have some staff members who have been with us for over 25 years. Our staff comes from various backgrounds including teaching, drama, travel and tourism professions, business and journalism. This diverse team enables us to be creative and to produce the highest quality trip for your students.

Our Tour Guides
Once they make it through the extremely demanding screening process our guides complete two months of classroom training followed by a week of training on-the-road. They all have previous experience in dealing with young people and we make sure they have first aid training and police background checks. Keating Tours invests a lot of time in ensuring our guides are top notch. We believe your guide can make or break your trip so compromising the quality of your guide is not an option.

Our Ground Staff
Keating Educational Tours offers unparalleled support in Canadian destinations.  Our year-round office staff in Quebec City and full time supervisors in Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City in May and June monitor sites, restaurants and accommodations, and provide 24/7 support while the group is in the city.

Our Animations
Why listen to history when your students can become part of it?  Keating Tours’ unique animations program makes students active participants in the living history of each city. Learn more about animations here
