"WA DC was Great. NYC was not. "

Our Washington DC experience was really great. Adam was an incredible tour guide that clearly knows a lot about his local history. It was a joy to have him on our tour.

NYC was another story. The tour guide did not seem to care if the group was together or not before he started talking. He walked extremely fast and was difficult to keep up with. We walked past a ton of buildings that definitely have history but because it wasn't on his checklist he didn't review them. It was a huge disappointment. Even when we took a fairy to the Statue of Liberty we had 20 minutes on the island. Had to choose between going to see the statue or going to the gift shop. A lot of people wanted to do both. Our teacher even asked if we could stay longer and skip a portion of the next tour and the tour guide said absolutely not, we had to stick to the schedule. It was not very pleasant.

One final thing, because our school had a long strike in the beginning of the year our trip was pushed out a week. I was not notified of the change until the parent meeting the Thursday before I thought we were supposed to leave. Luckily I was able to change around my work schedule and make it happen. I was really disappointed that I paid as much as I did for my son and I to go on the trip and no one from World Strides contacted me. I reached out about my disappointment and got a very small apology.

"Good expiriance "

Love the trip

"Truly enjoyed the tour itself"

Truly enjoyed the tour itself. The Tour director was great; personable and knowledgeable. The arrangements were handled well and accomodations and food were top notch.

"Our Lead Teacher filled our days with…"

Our Lead Teacher filled our days with amazing places to visit. We had a great bus driver. Our tour guide is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The three of them have a great relationship that allowed them to improvise when there were potential snags or snafus. Because of their knowledge, skill and teamwork, it was flawless and probably better than the original plan.
It was so good that I cannot wait to go again!

"Would Recommend"

Great service and I was well informed. The app did give me some trouble though.

"Alma"

The amount of logistical detail work that I didn't have to do allowed us to focus on our production. The team is very responsive. I only wish we could do more performances.

"Our tour manager was fantastic"

Our tour manager was fantastic! He kept us all on track and was very helpful the entire trip. Our driver also was great! He was very knowledgeable about the sites - especially in Northern Ireland.

"I felt that the company and guides did…"

I felt that the company and guides did an amazing job of giving us a very insightful tour. I felt that the students safety and experience came first. I think that getting through New York was difficult but a wonderful experience for the students.

"Scotland"

Amazing trip!
