Program Planning -

Itineraries are planned to follow all government guidelines with regards to motorcoach hours and procedures. Vendor audits are performed regularly.

Solid Financial Protection –
American Christian Tours is serious about the security of your investment. As far as we know, American Christian Tours and its sister company are the only student education tour program operators to provide the unmatched financial protection of an FDIC insured bank trust account administered by an independent firm of Certified Public Accountants (CPA's) for our client funds. Most student tour operator’s offer self-administered trust accounts. The account is administered by, and accessible to, the tour operator itself. Monies sent to American Christian Tours are held in an FDIC insured trust account administered by Anderson, Hager & Moe S.C., CPAs, an independent firm of Certified Public Accountants. Anderson, Hager & Moe pay major trip expenses as they are due directly to the service provider. American Christian Tours is only paid what is left in the account five business days after the scheduled completion of your education program. The incredible peace of mind this provides is an exclusive benefit of American Christian Tours.
