Catholic Student Tours
Trusted by Catholic Schools Since 1965
For more than 60 years, Corporate Travel Service has helped Catholic schools create meaningful educational travel experiences rooted in faith, history, and culture. As a family-owned company, we plan more than 100 Catholic pilgrimages and educational tours each year for schools, parishes, and faith-based organizations across the country.
​
We're proud to partner with respected Catholic organizations including Hallow, Ascension, and Word on Fire. Combined with our own Good News Conference and Good News Cruise, these relationships reflect our deep commitment to Catholic education and evangelization.
When you choose CTS Educational Tours, you're partnering with a team that understands both educational travel and the Catholic faith—creating journeys that inspire students long after they return home.
“Corporate Travel is a leader in hospitality. There is a deep level of care not only for a successful trip but that each trip is crafted to facilitate encounter. Encounter with each site visited, with the other pilgrims and most importantly, with Jesus. CTS has regularly gone above and beyond to ensure that each week long trip we’ve taken offers a lifelong impact! Extremely grateful for their expertise and professionalism.”
— Fr. Mike Schmitz, “Bible in a Year” Podcast
Corporate Travel is the best travel agency I’ve ever worked with! They are knowledgeable & efficient and go out of their way to make your travel experience an excellent one. They’ve helped me plan over 15 overseas trips for our students and I would highly recommend their services.
— Dr. Cathleen Andonian, Director The Center for Study Abroad, Madonna University Livonia, MI
We've trusted Corporate Travel with our eighth-grade Washington, D.C. trip for nearly 10 years. Their team consistently delivers a well-planned itinerary that blends history with our Catholic faith, including Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Every trip is organized, engaging, and a wonderful experience for our students.
