Who We Are
What's Included
Brian Luball
Owner
An experienced teacher and coach who has led dozens of school field trips and overnight educational tours over the past 20 years. I’ve now launched Rugger Educational Tours to provide a safe, structured, and inspiring way for students to explore their college options.
My goal is simple: to help students find the college environment that feels right—for them.
We offer thoughtfully planned, in-person college tours to help students see what type of campus suits them best—urban vs. rural, large vs. small, public vs. private.
Each tour includes:
- Visits to 5 – 6 college campuses
- Guided campus tours
- All meals are included
- Fun activities at night
- Overnight hotel stay at a premium hotel with private security
- Safe, chartered bus transportation
All chaperones are certified educators
