Let GTC Handle The Details

During the 20 years we have been in business, we have worked for group leaders that are true experts in their own fields, yet they still try taking on the full-time roll as a travel planner. The outcome is always the same…they say ” I would never plan a trip by myself again.

We take the time to learn about you and your group and its expectations/goals then we go to work…

We contact and negotiate with all the hotels, coach companies, airlines, attractions and gather all the information for you. We then customize a proposal and itinerary with your special needs in mind. Then we gladly send it to you … all at no cost. Once we have worked through all the trip details and you are happy everything you see, we send you a trip agreement.

A few of the many things we’re proud of…

1.

Old-Fashioned Customer Service

In this day and age of impersonal, on-line, self-service, we are different as we are actual people you can talk to. We believe strongly in good, old-fashioned customer service. When you call us, we listen and understand your situation.  We personalize every interaction and share this information among our team. We look for ways to make your planning easier and discuss the options.

We have been involved in planning trips for nearly 20 years and there is little that we haven’t seen or come across.

2.

Being There For You Before You Travel

Our company is different because we treat our clients the same way we want to be treated ourselves.

We understand that you may have group members or their parents asking difficult questions that you need immediate answers to. That is why we are here…call us, email us or even text us.

We are here to help in any way we can…just ask.

Moises Santos

Grapeland HS Grapeland, TX

Group Travel Consultants has done an amazing job at providing information and experience. In my work as a Band Director, we often need more than just a plan put together. GTC went above and beyond informing us of possible issues with venues, opportunities at locations, as well as many other suggestions that improved my band’s experience. GTC was true to their word about scouting locations AND being with us at every point. Thank you GTC, I plan to use your services again, and my band is ready for another great performance and experience!
