"Great trip—"no cap""

We had a great time on the trip, but our tour guide shouldn't try to use teenage slang!

"Washington DC"

Great trip, very organized and informational.

"My son came home from his trip with so…"

My son came home from his trip with so much joy and excitement to have seen so much history and he also had free time to enjoy the city as well as great food and just overall very well put together trip packed great times

"The whole experience 👍"

The whole experience was great. Disappointed the bowling bocce did not happen. My daughter made many comments about her tour guide, Nate, and the bus driver. Saying they were amazing and super informative and very kind.

"Amazing Tour Guide"

Our tour guide (Ms. Karen Smith) gave our group lots of time to eat and wake up. She also made the sometimes long bus rides to places like Gettysburg and Mt. Vernon. I also learned a lot from her and the experience in DC was great.

"Overall Puerto Rico"

Our tour guide, Mike Flores, was great. He really tried to meet our desires and he was always concerned about the safety and the well-being of our students.
The Holiday Inn Express was also in a wonderful location which allowed us to spend less time traveling to most of the places.
I was very dissatisfied with the bio-lumiscent kayaking tour. One of our chaperones and one of our students were not able to go on it because of new weight restrictions. This was no where in the trips writeup. Both participants were expecting to go, and were shocked to learn otherwise upon arrival. The woman that was checking us in was not very friendly either.
The Pure adventure snorkeling trip however, was fantastic once again.
The tour of the fort was very educational and interesting. The students truly enjoyed it.
The food could have been a bit more varied, and perhaps more vegetables or healthier choices.
Another major flaw with this trip is that we spent an entire day of traveling to Puerto Rico. We left at 5:20 am out of Detroit and didn't arrive until about 5:30 pm. We lost a whole day of adventure on the island...

"Top notch trip organization "

Our guide, Mike R, and driver Ray were TOP NOTCH. Mike was entertaining & informative. He also could pivot like an absolute boss when plans had to change. Ray was so kind to all of us and navigated us safely to all our destinations. All the base staff at the hotel were very helpful as well.

"Great Course Leader but had minor issues with hote"

Our school had a great time touring DC. The major highlight was having a GREAT course leader! I’d love to have Mike Fowler again when we go back!!! He shared just the right amount of info with our kids to keep them focused without losing their attention.
Even though the weather wasn’t the best, the city offered memories for everyone. However, a drawback was the hotel. I felt the breakfast selection was small. It lacked simple things like cereal, yogurts, or even granola bars. I also had a sick kid, unfortunately, but there was no housekeeping late at night. Someone did bring sheets for me to change the bed but said they were out of blankets. But, all in all, the trip was awesome.

"Maximize our time"

We enjoyed the proximity of our hotel to the beach and the city. It limited our time on the bus quite a bit and gave us some more freedom with our time. Our tour guide, Mike Torres, was fun, knowledgeable, and flexible. His main goal was to make our experience authentic and personalized.

Our flight left quite early in the morning, but we still didn’t arrive until 5:00pm, basically making our first day entirely travel. It would have been nice to have our flight arrive earlier so we can maximize our trip.

The bio bay staff at Pure Adventure was a bit short with us, and the weight/scale requirement was not shared with us until just prior to our arrival. They said it was posted online, but we had done this excursion twice before without the requirement, and wish the company had notified us of the change.

However, our experience with the Pure Adventure snorkeling staff was excellent. They were kind, helpful, and knowledgeable, and our snorkeling experience was out of this world.

Overall, our students had an amazing time and we were happy with our trip!

"We for a large veriaty of places to eat…"

We for a large veriaty of places to eat and places to got go, and we learned a lot which made it overall fun. Thank you!
