"Horrible, would not choose if I had the chance"

Horrible experience with payments and communication. I paid over $100 just in extra fees that were never mentioned when booking the trip. The trip it's self was already expensive over $1300. They withdrew my account a few times without giving a heads up. When I called to get it explained they basically said too bad there isn't anything they can do. Nor did they care to explain a different way to avoid those extra fees.
Customer service wasn't great. Could definitely be improved.

"World Strides does NYC!"

World Strides put together an excellent trip. Everything was set perfectly and our itinerary was full of exciting stops.

"The absolute best tour guide and bus…"

The absolute best tour guide and bus driver! We got to experience all things NYC. Everything was so organized but able to swap around to match weather. I feel like I was able to fully enjoy this once in a lifetime experience and felt safe the entire time.

"We absolutely loved Bruce our tour…"

We absolutely loved Bruce our tour guide and Bruce our bus driver. I would book another tour just to have them. Some food options could be improved. I like the sit down restaurant options instead of the quick things.

"We had an awesome trip"

We had an awesome trip! The staff was incredible - friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! The itinerary, schedule, hotels etc were perfect for a school trip! Thank you for an amazing experience!

"You could have a better experience without this tour "

This was our first and last time using this company to go on an organized school trip. Here are the main dislikes: the food/restaurants were not picked with international students in mind. Just because you visit another country doesn't mean EVERY meal has to be authentic from that country. The kids nor the parents enjoyed it all! It was low quality and no other options were offered. Example: on what would be Thanksgiving in USA, they planned a special dinner....it was Mac & cheese. No other options, no other meat or sides.🙄
The schedule allowed for NO time to rest. You were leaving a hotel at 7:00am and not arriving to another one until 7:00/8:00pm that night. Some accommodations were remote and would be considered 2-star at best.
You are on the bus for hours at a time and it was advertised that all buses had bathroom, but they lock them from November -April for winter.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable, and stuck to his itinerary without compromise.

All in all, I would never pay this kind of money to do this again. You really could take yourself & child for a cheaper, better experience.

"Awesome experience "

Organized.

"Loved our guide"

Loved our guide, she was so very accommodating. All of the planned activities were great. The hotels were very nice, rooms were great, very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful also. Each one had a great selection at breakfast. Was a wonderful trip!

"8th grade DC trip"

Our daughter really enjoyed her trip to DC in sure this will be a memorable trip for her to remember for a lifetime.

"Great tour guide and bus driver in NYC!"

Our tour guide and bus driver - both Bruces - were amazing! They really made the trip spectacular! Bruce 1 (tour guide) was immensely knowledgable about New York City, and Bruce 2 (bus driver) made for many hilarious situations driving around a huge tour bus in New York City, He was a pro! Both Bruces really made the trip special.
