How are dietary restrictions dealt with?

When registering your students on the portal, there will be an opportunity to include your dietary restrictions. Landmark will notify all meal vendors prior to the group’s visit, and the Landmark Leaders will reconfirm will the restaurant before and during the meal, too.

There will be a few instances in which students will be given meal vouchers to which they can decide what meal vendors they want to eat at. At that point, students are also encouraged to communicate with their own dietary restrictions.

Can I get in touch with my traveler on the trip?

Yes! If your student has a cell phone, you can text your student periodically throughout the trip. You can also arrange to call your student during our free time on the trip (Ex. motorcoach ride back to the hotel, at the hotel, etc.). If students are too young to own cell phones, it’s the responsibility of the trip organizers and chaperones to determine what the best option is to communicate between students and their parents.

What about safety on the trip?

Safety is our top priority. Students will be given safety bracelets upon their first interaction with their Landmark Leader, along with the first of multiple safety briefings. When given free exploration, groups will always be traveling in chaperone groups or following the buddy system (depending on the age of the group, but to the discretion of the trip organizer). The group will not leave an attraction until at least two formal head counts are done (one by a Landmark Leader, and final one conducted by head chaperone)

What if my child loses an item on the trip?

Landmark Leaders do their best to inform students on the safest ways to travel. They are also the last to leave any dining room and meeting location to ensure all belongings have been collected, while frequently reminding students to check for their wallet, keys, phone and bags. Have the student notify the Landmark Leader and they will contact whoever they can to attempt to track down the item.
