"Our tour guide made our experience…"

Our tour guide made our experience great! She took us all around the city and we had an opportunity to experience Paris on foot, by train, and bus! She was very knowledgable and set us up with good colleagues who filled in any gaps she missed. The schedule of the trip was manageable. We saw all of gems Paris had to offer.

"More training for guides "

Our itinerary was packed with fascinating history and memorable sites, and we were able to see so much in a short time. However, the guides seemed unprepared for a group of 60 teenagers. From the moment they boarded, there was a noticeable negativity, which affected the experience. Engaging teenagers can be challenging, but with a more interactive approach, like asking questions, creating fun games, or involving them in the learning process, the trip would have been far more enjoyable for everyone.

Additionally, I would have appreciated more healthy dining options, as well as more time to enjoy each meal. With only about 30 minutes allotted, it felt rushed, leaving little time to fully appreciate the experience. Overall, the pace was quite fast, making it difficult to savor each individual site. With more training for guides on youth engagement, a more interactive approach, and a less hurried schedule, this could be an unforgettable trip for all ages.

"Happy "

We loved the country and food and being able to have someone guide us while we were traveling.

"8th grade Washington trip "

The entire experience was amazing, from making my monthly payments to going on the actual trip… everything was so well organized

"The people at World Strides made the…"

The people at World Strides made the trip great. Of course Washington DC is an amazing city, but from my trip advisor, Alice, to Robert, the Tour Guide, to Pat at the hotel I couldn't have asked for better. Any question I had was answered. They were all helpful. This was my first time as a trip leader and everyone at World strides I worked with was great.

"The most fun I've had in three days!"

I really loved all of the history we got to learn about, and our tour guide, Robert, was the best! It was really fun to go on this trip with other kids from my school and get to explore history. It was fun to make memories with my classmates and friends.

"Great trip"

Great trip, great guide and great weather! Everything was perfect!

"Good, But There Could Be Some Improvements"

Regarding the trip to Boston, Massachusetts, from October 22 to October 25, 2024, for STEM School Highlands Ranch, I enjoyed our activities and the order that they were in. The only problem was that there weren't many foods for me to eat during breakfast due to my dietary restrictions (vegan). There were some bananas, but other than that, there wasn't anything else. I understand this could be the hotel's fault and not World Strides', and I considered that, but there should've been more options for students like myself. Besides that, everything was fine. Thank you very much for this experience!

"Very well organized"

Very well organized
