Welcome to Explore

Throughout our 45 years of operating educational tours across the world, it’s fair to say that we at Rayburn Tours have heard a lot of interesting and inspiring stories. Whether it’s group leaders and students writing to describe their adventures, or our staff reporting on a newly launched destination or product; Rayburn House is swamped with them. In autumn 2010, we introduced a publication allowing us to share these stories; Explore magazine was launched. One year on and the printed pages of Explore have proved too small and infrequent to deliver everything we require. The answer? Explore Online.

Explore brings you intricate details about our educational, ski and performance tours in the instant and accessible fashion that we crave, inspiring both you and your students to venture outside the classroom and bring education to life. Constantly updated, within its pages you’ll find articles, news and interviews along with reports from our staff and tour reviews by group members, all topped off with some exciting image galleries!

Through Explore, we provide you with a closer insight into the tour experience with Rayburn Tours. Whether you’re a veteran group leader looking for your next adventure, or a first-timer looking to pick up some advice, we hope Explore sparks your imagination and inspires you to bring education to life.

Now more than ever we want to hear your experiences, see your images and share your passion.
