Travel Insurance You Can Trust

Educator Tours offers affordable, comprehensive trip insurance. In 2020 and 2021, every traveler received a 100% refund, including the cost of insurance, when trips were canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions. Our coverage allows cancellations for any reason—up to the day before departure.

Who Can Travel With Us?

Everyone is welcome! While the trips are mostly made up of the East County educational community (working and retired), and their friends and families, all tours are open to the public. The strong sense of camaraderie and fun keeps travelers coming back year after year.

Many trips include an optional educational visit, which may qualify as a work-related expense for some educators.

      My Loan Officer, Mireya, is truly an asset to ECSFCU. She is competent, articulate, sweet and compassionate. When there was an error in the payoff of my car, Mireya personally took a credit union check and drove it to the dealer to correct it, the same day. We are thankful for the time and effort she put into this important transaction.  That’s customer service, and she is leading the pack!
