An Unmatched Experience

Hart Travel Partners crafts one of a kind travel programs. We go beyond typical sightseeing tours and create unique, immersive moments that truly connect your students not only to the curriculum of your program, but also to the people, places and cities they visit.

Triple Quality Guarantee

  • Flight Routings

    We will always book your group on the most direct flights possible within the constraints of your budget and itinerary. This accomplishes two important goals: our travelers are more comfortable and ready to hit the ground running upon arrival in their first destination and we keep our commitment to environmental sustainability and doing our part to limit the effects of travel on climate change.

  • Quality Accommodations

    It matters that your hotel is in a good location so you can immerse yourself in the culture. It matters that your hotel is clean, safe and comfortable and provides a good night’s rest. And it matters that you are able to stay connected online. That’s why we always secure centrally located hotels with free Wi-Fi. In addition, we only work with properties that have implemented enhanced cleaning procedures and practice appropriate social distance measures in their public areas.

  • Local Cuisine

    We always offer meals that reflect traditional local cuisine. We work closely with chefs and restaurants that specialize in using the freshest, locally grown ingredients. Our travelers have enjoyed a wide variety of meals including; Tapas in Madrid, Fish & Chips in London, Schnitzel in Munich, Peking Duck in Beijing, Crêpes in Paris, Rösti in Lucerne and Ropa Vieja in Havana.

Program Inclusions

“HTP was phenomenal from the moment we contracted them: we were supported every step of the way; all queries we had were answered promptly; professionalism, flexibility, and organization defined all of our interactions with the company. I can't speak highly enough of how wonderful the experience was for all of us. I have taken students abroad before, and without question, this was the best trip. I can't imagine ever traveling with any other program.”
